Florida Injury Attorney

The right Florida personal injury attorney can handle a wide range of cases, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, wrongful death, product liability, and more. Essentially, they deal with cases where individuals have been injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of another party.

The attorney can help in many different ways, including but not limited to the following:

• evaluating your case to establish whether you have a viable claim;
• advising you on your legal rights and options;
• creating a legal strategy to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses;
• gathering evidence;
• negotiating with insurance companies; 
• representing you throughout the claim process; and 
• if necessary, representing you in court. 

Unlike insurance companies who only want to avoid losses, your attorney's goal is to ensure that you receive fair compensation for your injuries and losses.

In most personal injury cases, the attorney will file a claim with the insurance company of the party at fault. If it's a car accident, this would be the insurer of the driver responsible for the accident. In cases of workplace injuries, the claim would be filed with the employer's workers' compensation insurer. The exact entity varies based on the specifics of the case, and that's one of the things we can help determine when you contact us for a free case review.

If you win, you may be entitled to various damages, including:

• medical expenses;
• lost wages;
• loss of earning capacity;
• pain and suffering;
• loss of enjoyment of life;
• loss of consortium; and 
• emotional distress. 

In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded, but only if the case goes to court. These damages are meant to punish the defendant for particularly egregious behavior.

Consider their experience in handling cases similar to yours. Don't hire a general injury lawyer if you can hire someone who specializes in a particular field.
