6 Reasons It Pays To Hire A Personal Injury Attorney Home to endless beaches and entertainment, Hallandale Beach and major cities in Florida attract millions of visitors every year. Whether you find yourself dining and dancing in Fort Lauderdale, strolling the sands of West Palm Beach, braving the rides and water parks of Orlando, or seeing the cultural sites of Tampa, there’s one thing the Sunshine State can’t offer: protection from injury. Hundreds of thousands of people get injured in Florida every year, and many of these injuries are serious if not life-altering. Unfortunately, far too many people never receive the compensation they’re entitled to, either because they don’t think they have a good personal injury claim, or because they try to handle it on their own, without the help of a personal injury attorney. Does Every Single Injury Warrant Legal Assistance? No, but many do. And consulting with a lawyer who handles personal injury cases day in and day out is never a bad idea. Let’s flesh out some reasons you might want to hire a Florida personal injury lawyer. Top 6 Reasons It Makes Sense To Hire A…Read More
A slip on a spill in a grocery store. An auto accident. A dog bite. A defective piece of equipment. All of these could lead to a valid personal injury claim, but none can guarantee that fair compensation will actually be delivered to the injured party. Why is this? There are many factors at play in a personal injury case, but one of the main reasons so few claimants receive fair compensation has to do with insurance companies and their adjusters. The problem is that it is never in the insurance company’s best interest to pay claimants what they deserve, and it is always the insurance adjuster’s job to do what is in the best interests of the company — not you, the claimant. To compound this problem, most insurance companies have powerful resources at their disposal to ensure that at the end of the day, they continue to make significant profits. This leaves injured parties like you with barely enough money to pay their medical bills or make up for lost wages during their recovery time. The cards are stacked against single claimants who are not…Read More
It’s a common source of confusion: how to distinguish between bodily injury and personal injury…and also why it matters. In a general context, the term ‘bodily injury’ is used to refer specifically to physical injury to the body, such as bruises, broken bones, burns, cuts, muscle tears, and dislocations. In contrast, the term ‘personal injury’ is used to refer to a broader range of damages that can result from any type of accident, such as emotional and mental trauma (in addition to bodily injury). Both personal injury and bodily injury lawsuits often involve property damage, but a property damage claim is not a component of either; it is a separate claim that can cover damages to both real property (e.g., fixed property, like a building) and personal property (e.g., vehicles, jewelry, clothing). A related source of confusion is the difference between personal injury protection (PIP), bodily injury coverage, and property damage liability. Bodily Injury Coverage — This type of insurance covers at-fault individuals against lawsuits brought by anyone who has suffered injuries caused by the at-fault individual. Bodily injury coverage will not cover the policyholder’s own…Read More
When someone files a personal injury claim in Florida, one of the first questions on their mind is this: how much is my case worth? Less common but more important is the question: what should I do (or not do) in order to increase the value of my case? As a personal injury plaintiff, there are three actions that are guaranteed to reduce the amount of damages you’re entitled to receive. Contribute To The Cause Of The Accident In Florida, the law of pure comparative negligence applies, which means that as a plaintiff, your role in the incident which caused your injuries will impact the amount of damages to which you’re entitled. In a pure comparative negligence system, you will be compensated for your damages only to the extent that you were not responsible for them. For example, if you are deemed to have been 60 percent at fault for the auto accident which left you with a broken leg, then the defendant would only be responsible for paying 40 percent of your damages—the percentage of fault attributed to them. Fail To Mitigate Your Damages One of the worst things you…Read More

Minor physical injuries can be managed with no interruption to your daily life such us working, self-care, well-being and happiness. Such injuries seldom set off psychological and emotional trauma. However, people who have pain and suffering from a serious personal injury related to vehicle, sports, accident, or accidental fall may develop feelings of stress and trauma, and disorders such as anxiety, depression, frustration, isolation, lack of motivation or substance use or abuse well after they have completed medical rehabilitation. While it is normal to experience these feelings and to have an emotional reaction to injury whether it’s minor or serious, it is just as important to understand that if the stress remains constant, and continues to affect your quality of life, psychological counseling may be needed to resume a normal lifestyle. If you or a loved one have been injured through no fault of your own but by someone else’s thoughtless behavior, you may be entitled to compensation not just for the physical damages of the accident, but also for your pain, trauma and suffering.
