Personal Injury Defined by Knowledgeable Florida Attorneys

Personal injury can be defined as a physical or psychological harm that someone suffers because of an accident or the wrongdoing of another. When you are a victim of person injury, you can take steps to protect your legal rights through a personal injury case. With a successful personal injury case, you can receive compensation for the damages you suffered as a result of the crash. In many cases, you can receive compensation for:

Medical care. If you have suffered physical harm from an accident, you may be able to obtain compensation for any medical treatment you’ve already received or you may need in the future as a result. This could include doctor visits, treatment from specialists, prescription costs, and any other medical care-related costs.

Lost wages. After a crash, you may be entitled to compensation for wages that you have already lost, or would have been able to make in the future if it had not been for the crash.

Property loss. You may be entitled to reimbursement for any property damaged in the accident, including motor vehicles and other belongings.

Pain and suffering. If you suffer pain, discomfort, distress, and loss of enjoyment because of an accident, you may be entitled to compensation for both past and future pain.

Nothing can undo the hardship and trauma caused by an accident, but receiving just compensation can help to ensure you and your family can heal and move on with your lives. A skilled personal injury attorney in Sarasota can help you understand your options before filing a claim. If it becomes necessary to go to court in order to obtain a fair settlement, an attorney can fight to protect the rights of you and your family.

Experienced Sarasota Crash Lawyers Know Personal Injury Takes Many Forms

Personal injury can occur in many different ways and take many different forms. Below, we’ve composed a guide to some of the most common types of personal injury cases in Florida.

Automobile crash. Automobile accidents can occur for any number of reasons, from distracted driving to speeding to unsafe road conditions. If you are hurt in a car accident due to another’s negligence, you have a right to fair compensation for medical bills and lost wages.

Motorcycle crash. Motorcyclists are particularly vulnerable to serious injuries in accidents, including brain injury, spinal injury, and death. A personal injury attorney can help you obtain fair and just compensation after an accident caused by another’s negligence, inattention, or outright negligence.

Bicycle accidents. Much like motorcyclists, bicyclists are incredibly vulnerable on the road. If you or a loved one has been seriously harmed due to a reckless driver or unsafe conditions, you have a right to compensation for the wrongs you suffered. Compensation is crucial to you and your family’s long-term recovery, as it can help with medical bills and rehabilitation fees.

Pedestrian accidents. Year after year, Florida is criticized for being one of the most dangerous states for pedestrians in the nation. If you or a loved one has been injured in a pedestrian accident, a personal injury case can help you secure much needed compensation while raising public awareness of our state’s serious problem.

DUI/DWI driving accidents. Driving while intoxicated is not just dangerous—it is a crime. Victims of DUI/DWI accidents should hold intoxicated drivers accountable, and fight to protect their rights and obtain the compensation they need to recover.

Animal attacks and dog bites. In Florida, it is not uncommon for animals to cause serious injuries when not properly cared for or handled. You should hold responsible parties liable for any harm you suffer because of an attack or bite, asserting your right to just compensation and working to prevent incidents like this from happening in the future.

Medical malpractice and negligence. Far too often, Florida families suffer serious injuries due to the malpractice or negligence of medical professionals. If you believe you have been a victim of medical malpractice, you should speak to a medical malpractice attorney about your rights and options.

Premise liability. When landlords and property owners fail to maintain safe properties, tenants, customers, and visitors can suffer harm. After being injured on another’s property, you may be able to hold the property owner accountable through a premise liability case.
