Personal Injury

Florida personal injury law’s primary aim is to compensate people who have suffered injuries as a result of negligence on the part of someone else. Personal injuries may vary widely and may involve everything from serious injuries that could leave a person with permanent damage or disabled or even basic bumps and bruises. Such incidents also require a personal injury attorney’s assistance to help clients level the playing field and to seek advice from an experienced legal team that genuinely wants to achieve the best outcome.

 

In some incidents and circumstances, an individual may bear personal injuries. The possibilities are truly endless, but some several common events and incidents often lead to personal injury claims. These include but are not limited to:

  • Slip and fall
  • Car accidents
  • Accidents occurring at a place of employment
  • Medical malpractice
  • Wrongful death

In a personal injury situation, recovering damages isn’t so much about making someone wealthy due to their involvement in an accident; it is about ensuring a person does not fall into a situation such as destitution as a result of the injury or injuries they sustained during the accident.

 

Some losses, including the cost of a vehicle or the cost of operation, can be easily valued. Receipts and medical bills will provide the necessary totals. But other damages, known as general damage, become more difficult to put a numerical value due to the abstract nature such as pain and suffering. For example, what is the value of being able to hug a grandparent again?
