Florida is an “at-fault” state. In most personal injury accidents, the individual responsible for the accident is required to cover the victim’s injuries and lost income. Each party files insurance claims with the other party’s insurance provider. The insurers then assess the claims and determine the degree of fault based on the information provided.
The state also uses a “modified comparative negligence” rule—if you are partially responsible for your accident, you could still seek compensation for your claim as long as you are 50 percent or less responsible. If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you cannot recover any compensation for your injuries.
When you visit our office, we begin by reviewing your claim. Insurance companies must accept or deny your claim within 90 days, and many factors could impact the timeline for their response. If you do not receive a prompt reply, you should contact an attorney.
Most people associate personal injury cases with car accidents, but at Werner, Hoffman, Grieg & Garcia, our attorneys have experience with many other types of accident involving physical harm in Miami Gardens, including:
We could help you in securing fair compensation on any type of accident claim, from a parking lot crash at the Gardens Promenade Shopping Mall, to a motorcycle crash on Miami Gardens Drive.
We use all evidence to support your claim, including witness statements, expert testimony, and statements made in depositions. The demand letter contains everything in support of your claim to maximize the potential settlement for your case.
Fault, or liability, means the other person or entity failed to act responsibility, causing your injury. Your Miami Gardens attorney will gather evidence from the accident scene, police reports, medical records, and other documents to support your claim of sustaining bodily harm. If you are unable to gather this information at the accident scene, we could help you obtain it later.
Each case is different, but you can request compensation for financial losses, such as medical bills, lost income, and rehabilitation costs. You could also receive compensation for pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder. We use evidence of your losses to quantify this amount, such as bills, invoices, proof of prior income, and doctors’ reports.
A Miami Gardens personal injury lawyer at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia could thoroughly prepare your demand letter and evidence packet, demonstrating to the opposing attorneys that we are ready to take your claim to trial.
Your initial consultation is free and confidential, and you pay nothing until we settle or win your case. We can handle claims throughout the state, so no matter where you are, we stand ready and willing to help. Give our office a call or make an appointment today to discuss how we could assist you.
