As a popular destination location, Palm Beach Gardens attracts plenty of people looking to vacation and get to the shore. Like other destinations, though, the city has its risk of accidents, especially on Military Trail, even if you conduct yourself carefully. From car accident lawsuits to workers’ compensation claims, you need a professional’s assistance.
In the case of a serious accident, you should look to a Palm Beach Gardens personal injury lawyer for assistance in making a claim based on your injuries. Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia stands ready to help you as you engage with the legal process of bringing a compensation claim against whoever caused your accident. We operate on a contingency fee, so it is in your best interests to call us as soon as possible.
Claims that succeed in gaining compensation must have legal damages that can be compensated, as opposed to just injuries. Legal damages can include both economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages refer to the effects of injuries that cost you money, like large medical bills continuing into the future and your loss of income if an injury causes a temporary or permanent disability. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, serve to make up for the less concrete effects over time, such as pain and suffering and mental trauma from an injury beyond the physical.
In certain, limited cases, punitive damages might be available. Rather than serving to compensate for injuries, punitive damages are meant to punish and deter bad behavior, like intentional wrongdoing or conduct so reckless as to require more than regular damages to right the wrong.
Each personal injury case will have its own damages unique to the injuries, but a Palm Beach Gardens attorney can give you an idea of what you can expect your claim to be worth. By reviewing your injuries and their likely cause, we can estimate your damages and your chances of making a successful claim.
In short, the person or entity that caused your accident and injuries. The identity of that person or entity may not be clear or obvious, which is why your attorney will investigate the facts to see who should be held liable. Even in the course of bringing a claim the liable party might change or turn into multiple defendants, depending on the circumstances.
You do not want too much time to pass after an accident to file your claim, for two main reasons. First, evidence tends to be more readily accessible and stronger closer to the date of an accident: eyewitness memories are clearer, reports have less chance to be lost, and injuries can be documented accurately. Second, you only have two years to bring your claim under Florida Statutes § 95.11, or you may lose your ability to bring a claim at all.
Fortunately, a Palm Beach Gardens attorney can help with each issue if they can start working on your personal injury case as soon as possible. The process of gathering evidence can take more time than you might think, so getting started with an initial conversation quickly after an accident can make a significant difference.
At first, a claim based on an accident might seem simple: you were hurt and someone caused that to happen. However, the legal reality can become more complex, depending on the specific circumstances surrounding your injuries. Our team of Palm Beach Gardens personal injury attorneys can work through these complexities to secure the best possible compensation for your claim. From medical bills to a new car, our attorneys will work tirelessly to secure the damages you lost because of your accident. Contact Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia to learn more today.
