We help victims receive the compensation they are entitled to in a variety of personal injury claims.
Anyone who has experienced an automobile collision knows the physical and emotional trauma that this type of accident can cause. Injury victims handling claims themselves will face confusing local laws and limitations. They will also be up against insurance firms to get the compensation they deserve.
Nearly 75% of those killed in large truck accidents are passengers of smaller vehicles. Truck wreck victims and their families often struggle to get the compensation they deserve. The trucking company may be represented by several parties who deny responsibility.
Motorcycles make up about 3 percent of Florida’s registered motor vehicles, yet motorcyclists are involved in nearly 20 percent of motor vehicle deaths. Florida’s roads are more dangerous for motorcyclists than for other motorists. Motorcycles are smaller and lack many of the safety features found in cars and trucks.
Florida is the most dangerous state for bicyclists. Any accident that occurs when bicycle riders share the road with reckless drivers can result in serious injuries.
Florida is among the most dangerous places in the country for pedestrians. The state’s warm climate attracts many pedestrians who walk to work, for pleasure, or for exercise. Unfortunately, negligent motorists make walking in Florida a risky activity. In the first half of 2019, nearly 400 pedestrians died in motor vehicle accidents in the state.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 800,000 Americans are hospitalized every year for fall injuries. Many of these injuries are preventable. Property managers and owners who fail to maintain buildings and surrounding areas can be held liable for any injuries caused by their negligence.
The average cost of treating a victim with a severe brain injury ranges from $600,000 to $2,000,000. These injuries can leave victims unable to care for themselves, work, or provide for their families. Each year, these injuries cost the U.S. millions of dollars in medical expenses.
Auto accidents and falls are common causes of spinal injuries. Victims may suffer from chronic pain, loss of mobility, and other impairments. A victim could face years of costly medical treatment and lost income.
If someone dies due to another’s negligence, their survivors not only lose a loved one but also the emotional, financial, and physical support the victim provided. While no amount of money can replace a family member, wrongful death benefits can help cover some of the damages caused by this tragic loss.
Financial compensation is often the last thing on your mind when you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence. As mentioned earlier, immediate needs take priority.
Take the healthcare industry, for example. The average medical bills for injuries often exceed $50,000. Many people live paycheck to paycheck, and this amount is simply too much for them to pay. Even if they could manage to cover the costs, many accident-related injuries, such as whiplash, require specialized treatment. An experienced Westchase personal injury attorney can help you access medical treatment without upfront costs and guide you to the most qualified providers.
All accident victims in Florida have similar immediate needs, including:
Head and neck injuries, such as whiplash, are common in these accidents. After a collision, many victims are completely disabled for weeks or months. If the accident was not their fault, they deserve compensation.
Existing medical conditions can increase the likelihood of falling or worsen the severity of injuries. Insurance companies cannot use these vulnerabilities to deny or reduce compensation for victims.
Opioid overdoses, involving drugs like heroin and powerful painkillers prescribed by doctors, were virtually unknown in the 1990s. Today, they cause more deaths than car accidents. Possible responsible parties include the doctor who prescribed the wrong medication or the property owner who ignored drug abuse on their premises.
Misdiagnosis, a common form of medical malpractice, affects many families in Westchase. Misdiagnosis is often the result of a doctor’s failure to listen or refusal to order necessary diagnostic tests.
While the majority of cases are settled out of court, not all cases reach a resolution immediately. Most insurance companies are required to settle claims quickly if the cause of an accident is clear. However, liability can often be unclear due to legal doctrines such as comparative fault.
A Westchase personal injury attorney must act to protect the legal rights of the victim and apply pressure on the insurer to settle the claim. In many cases, this involves filing court documents to move the process forward.
This approach can sometimes prompt a quick settlement. However, in some situations, a judge may need to appoint an independent mediator. Both sides are required to act in good faith during mediation. Mediation is often successful, largely due to the court’s oversight.
Damages awarded can include both economic and noneconomic losses, such as compensation for pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence, it’s crucial to understand your rights and explore your options. Kevin L. Sullivan II a Westchase personal injury attorney is dedicated to helping accident victims navigate the legal process and secure the compensation they deserve.
