Personal injury claims focus on negligence, which refers to an at-fault party doing something which puts someone else at risk. That could mean a motorist speeding down Pines Blvd. or a failure to properly secure the numerous lakes or ponds, causing someone to fall in and drown. Our attorneys can give you legal advice and help obtain settlements for personal injury claims including:
One of the first questions everyone asks when they come in for a consultation is “What is my claim worth?” Although that is a difficult question to answer, we can tell you what compensation you’re entitled to recover. In a personal injury case, victims can recover compensation for all most losses.
Economic damages: Medical expenses, doctor’s bills, lost wages, loss of income, and any future expenses a doctor believes you may incur because of your injuries.
Non-economic damages: pain and suffering, emotional trauma, loss of consortium, and post-traumatic stress disorder. In a wrongful death lawsuit, the family and executor of the victim’s estate can sue on behalf of the victim.
Very rarely, courts may award punitive damages if a defendant’s conduct was so egregious that it justifies punishing them. Your attorney can advise you if your case may warrant punitive damages.
Right after an accident, you should seek medical help and potentially call police if it is a vehicle crash. You should also collect as much evidence as you can. Photos of the scene, police reports, and witness contact information are essential for making the best case possible. Once you have been seen by a medical professional, it may be wise to call an attorney.
Negligence means the other party was supposed to act responsibly and failed to do so, and caused your injuries or damage. For instance, an apartment owner has a duty to keep steps repaired, or to put up warning signs. If you fall on a broken step and break your ankle because there were no signs, you may have a claim for damages against the owner.
The Pembroke Pines personal injury lawyers at Werner, Hoffman, Greig & Garcia prepare your claim as if we were heading for trial. With our legal team at your side, you have a strong chance of getting the settlement offer you deserve. We know you are hurting and we stop at nothing to get you help.
