Personal Injury Lawsuits: Not All Cases Are the Same
Personal injury lawsuits are one of the most misunderstood areas by the general public. This is due in part to the flood of commercials on television that usually begin with, “Have you been injured in an accident?” Those same commercials usually end with asking the viewer to call a phone number that will help them recover damages. The commercials make it sound easy to get what you are entitled to, but anyone that has ever been involved in a personal injury lawsuit knows the real truth – it is not.
When a personal injury lawsuit is filed, it is only the beginning. There is a myriad of issues that must be addressed. When our personal injury attorneys take on your case we will:
- Make sure everything is done by our experienced team including:
-Gathering key evidence and investigating your claim. - Determine your past medical expenses and estimate your future medical expenses.
- Evaluate your medical expenses, lost wages and future loss of earning capacity as well as future loss of benefits.
- Measure the impact of your pain and suffering.
These are only the first steps in helping you get what you deserve. The personal injury lawyers at Freedland Harwin Valori will act as your guide through the murky waters of personal injury litigation. Over the years, we have faced just about every legal issue possible in personal injury law. Here are just a few of those personal injury cases:
- Birth injury – $10 Million Settlement
A settlement on behalf of a child who suffered a brain injury as a result of oxygen deprivation during birth. Through years of tactical and technical litigation, we were able to prove that the nurses and physicians both failed to intervene and prevent the brain injury. - Pedestrian accident – $3.5 Million Settlement
A settlement on behalf of pedestrians who were seriously injured when a drunk drive struck them. - Auto accidents – $2M Settlement
A settlement on behalf of the family of a passenger fatally injured in an avoidable motor vehicle accident.
Types of Personal Injury Lawsuits We Handle
Medical Malpractice
Whether your doctor misdiagnosed you, performed surgery on the wrong body part, or prescribed a dangerous medication, medical malpractice claims are difficult to handle alone. Our team of medical malpractice lawyers is here to guide you and handle all the heavy lifting. We have intricate knowledge of how hospitals, doctors, and other medical providers defend against medical malpractice lawsuits.
Medical malpractice cases in Florida require pre-suit investigation and in-depth knowledge of the state’s malpractice laws. Additionally, there are very strict time limits when it comes to Florida’s statute of limitations. Don’t hesitate to call us and get a free consultation, there is no risk to understanding your legal rights.
Auto Accidents
Recovering from an injury after an auto accident can be a long and painful struggle. Medical expenses pile up quickly, and lost wages due to missed time at work can put you in a financial bind.
Florida is a no-fault auto insurance state. This means that in the event of an accident, your insurance company will pay for your medical expenses and property damage, up to the level of your coverage. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. That does not address the compensation due to you for the other damages. You are also eligible to sue the driver who was at fault for your economic losses as well as the pain and suffering you have endured.
We’ve helped people involved in almost any type of motor vehicle accident including; bicycle, bus, truck, hit-and-run, pedestrian, motorcycle, and Uber/Lyft accidents.
Premises Liability Accidents
Premises liability refers to the idea that everyone must exercise reasonable care regarding their property. Property owners must take precautions regarding the ownership and maintenance of their property in order to minimize the risk of injury. For example, premises can refer to businesses, playgrounds, public pools, private residences, and apartment complexes. If you sustained an injury on any public or private premises, you may have legal grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
Product Liability & Defects
Product liability claims are unique – they typically do not follow the same rules and regulations as other Florida personal injury claims. If you or a loved one has been injured or even died from a defective product, medical device, or consumer good, the laws of product liability can help you get the financial recovery you deserve. When household appliances, tools, children’s toys, medical devices, drugs, vehicle parts, and other products have defects that cause consumer injuries or death, victims can pursue the product manufacturer and/or distributor for damage recovery.
For example, some of the defective product lawsuits our firm has handled include those injured by hernia mesh, IVC filters, and talcum powder.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
Nursing home abuse and neglect is a heartbreaking situation to navigate on your own. Nursing home abuse occurs when a staff member’s actions or inactions cause harm to a resident of a long-term care facility. The abuse can be intentional or unintentional. Factors such as improper training, staffing shortages, and poor staff supervision can increase the likelihood of abuse in a nursing home. If your loved one has suffered harm due to suspected nursing home abuse, your family may be entitled to compensation through a lawsuit.
If You Have Been Injured and Need a Personal Injury Lawyer
It is imperative that you take immediate action. Most states impose strict deadlines on filing personal injury claims. If you fail to act in a timely manner, you may forfeit the right to file a personal injury lawsuit. It is important to have your claim investigated promptly by a well-informed personal injury lawyer and that evidence is gathered as quickly as possible.
Personal injury claims can involve motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home negligence, dangerous drugs and medical devices, pedestrian injuries, injuries on a property (slip and fall, etc), construction accidents, swimming/diving injuries, aviation accidents, wrongful death or any other injuries resulting from another’s negligence or unreasonable conduct. Potential damages, depending on the case, could include wrongful death, disfigurement, pain/suffering, past medical expenses, future medical costs, rehabilitation costs, lost in wages, future loss in earnings, marital relationship, personal property, vehicle, etc.
