Personal Injury Overview
If you are injured as a result of someone elseโs actions, you may be able to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit. In most cases, personal injury lawsuits in Florida are brought under a theory of negligence. Negligence requires proof that a duty of care was owed, a breach of the duty of care occurred, causation connected the breach to the accident, and the victim sustained damages. In other words, the defendant must have failed to act safely, and this must have caused the accident in which you were injured. Even if you were partly at fault for an accident, our Miami personal injury attorneys can help you recover compensation that is proportionate to the defendantโs fault.
Car Accident
Car accidentsย can happen for many different reasons. Probably the most common reason is negligent driving. A driver owes a reasonable duty of care to others with whom they share the road. That duty can be breached through behaviors such as speeding, texting while driving and other forms of distracted driving, weaving through traffic, failing to obey traffic signs and signals, or drunk driving. Sometimes there are multiple reasons for a car accident, and the roles of other parties should be examined. For example, a car accident can result in part from car manufacturing defects, which means that the victim can sue the manufacturer.
Motorcycle Accident
Many people in Florida love to ride motorcycles. However, drivers of larger vehicles may not see a motorcyclist or may be distracted. A motorcycle accident can have devastating consequences for a motorcyclist and yet leave the driver of a larger vehicle unharmed. Injuries to motorcyclists can include brain damage, paralysis, and spinal cord damage, as well as broken bones, disfigurement, road rash, and lacerations. Insurance adjustors may be reluctant to negotiate fairly with a motorcyclist, arguing that they were partly responsible for the crash. This makes it especially critical to retain an aggressive attorney to fight for you.
Truck Accident
Injuries arising out ofย truck accidentsย can be catastrophic or fatal. Truck accidents can result from a truck driverโs fatigue, speeding, drunk driving, excessive use of prescription drugs, wide turns, or inadequate braking. Interstate truck drivers must follow detailed regulations promulgated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These regulations have been put in place to make the roads safer. A failure of a truck driver or trucking company to follow these regulations can offer strong evidence of liability. Other potentially responsible parties in a truck accident include the trucking company and the truck manufacturer. Our personal injury lawyers can help Miami residents and other victims bring all of the appropriate parties into the case.
Slip/Trip & Fall
If you slip or trip andย fallย due to a dangerous property condition on someone elseโs property, you may be able to pursue damages under a theory of premises liability. Property owners are supposed to keep their property reasonably safe for visitors. Dangerous property conditions that can cause harm include slippery substances on the floor, broken rails, bad lighting, broken steps, uneven surfaces, and cracks in the sidewalk. If you slipped and fell on a transitory foreign substance in a business, our Miami personal injury lawyers will need to show that it is more likely than not that the business had actual or constructive knowledge of the dangerous condition, and it should have taken steps to fix it. For example, we may need to show that the dangerous condition was there for so long that the business should have known about it, if it were using reasonable care.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to another partyโs actions can be very challenging for family members on both emotional and financial levels. Under Florida Statutes section 768.19, you will need to establish that a death was a result of a wrongful act, neglect, or default. The decedentโs estate can bring a civil lawsuit seeking damages against the party at fault for the death. This civil lawsuit is separate and distinct from any criminal charges that may be filed for homicide. Even if a criminal case is unsuccessful, in other words, it may be possible to recover damages in a civil lawsuit because the burden of proof is lower in civil cases.
ย
Negligent Security
Negligent securityย is one type of premises liability lawsuit. Property owners are supposed to keep their premises reasonably safe against foreseeable dangers, and under certain circumstances, they can be held responsible even for third-party attacks through a negligent security lawsuit. Crimes related to negligent security can include rape, murder, and battery. For example, if a restaurant has inadequate lighting in a stairwell or parking lot, and a woman is assaulted one night as a result, it may be possible to recover damages. A plaintiff must be able to show that they were injured by a third party on the defendantโs property, and the defendant did not behave with reasonable care because the injuries were legally foreseeable.
