What Compensation Can You Pursue in a Pembroke Pines Personal Injury Case?

Depending on your accident, you may have suffered severe or catastrophic injuries. These can include spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, road rash, lacerations, burns, internal organ injuries, and fractures. Any injury can be life-changing.

When you’ve been injured, your losses often don’t stop at the physical pain. You may also be dealing with emotional trauma, financial instability from missing work and mounting medical bills, and the loss of the future you’d planned. Our injury claim lawyers will listen to you to fully understand what you’ve lost so that we can fight for you to receive fair compensation.

We may be able to recover damages for losses such as:

• Current and future medical expenses, such as for surgeries, emergency room visits, diagnostic exams, and more
• Long-term care needs
• Home modifications
• Mobility devices
• Lost wages and loss of possible job benefits

• Physical pain and suffering
• Emotional distress

• Loss of consortium

You deserve to be compensated for your losses. Contact Rosenberg & Rosenberg today to get started on your case as soon as possible.

What Does Negligence Have to Do With Your Personal Injury Claim?

To recover compensation in a personal injury claim, you will need to show that someone else was at fault for your injuries. Examples of negligence in these cases include:

• A car crash where the at-fault driver was intoxicated
• Someone speeding through a red light and hitting a pedestrian in the crosswalk
• A trucking company hiring an unqualified driver who ends up in a collision
• A store manager not addressing a tripping hazard

In all these examples, someone’s careless act breached their duty of care to the accident victim. Duty of care refers to someone’s legal obligation to act with a reasonable amount of care when interacting with others.

Our Pembroke Pines personal injury attorneys can carefully investigate your accident to determine who acted negligently. We may do so by:

• Interviewing witnesses
• Gathering evidence from the accident scene, such as photographs of skid marks where a crash occurred
• Obtaining surveillance footage
• Reviewing police or incident reports, driving records, and other official documentation related to the accident
• Consulting with experts, such as an accident reconstructionist

Once your lawyer has determined who is liable, we can ensure that sufficient evidence has been gathered to prove the at-fault party’s identity.

It’s important to note that Florida operates on a comparative negligence rule. This means that if you were partly liable for your injuries, you are still able to recover compensation if you were not over 50 percent at fault. Your recoverable economic and non-economic damages, however, will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

When Should You Call a Lawyer for Your Personal Injury Case in Pembroke Pines?

In most cases, the sooner you begin working on a personal injury claim, the better. When you hire Rosenberg & Rosenberg, we will promptly collect evidence. Evidence is often time-sensitive. For example, a witness’s memory of the event may fade as time passes.

In addition to gathering evidence in a timely manner, you will also need to consider how time impacts the legal process. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally only have two years to pursue a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit.

Your Pembroke Pines lawyers can act quickly to file your case within all applicable deadlines.

What Should You Do After an Injury in Pembroke Pines?

No matter the nature of your accident, it’s essential to prioritize your health and safety. Assess if you, or anyone with you, needs immediate medical care before you do anything else. If you do not wish to receive emergency medical services, it’s still important to seek medical attention as soon as you are able. Your doctor will be able to properly diagnose any injuries you have and get you started on a treatment plan.

In addition to medical care, other actions to take include:

• Reporting the Accident to Authorities: The police are the right authority to call after most accidents. However, if your accident took place inside a business, you should report it to a store manager or supervisor.
• Document Any Injuries: After an accident, it can be helpful to photograph the scene where the accident took place, as well as your injuries. These photos can be beneficial, time-stamped evidence for your personal injury claim.

If you are unable to take these actions, our accident injury attorneys in Pembroke Pines can take them on your behalf. Your lawyer can also handle conversations with authorities and insurance adjusters as needed. When speaking directly to either, avoid taking blame for the accident, as this can be used against you.

What Happens Once You File Your Personal Injury Claim?

Once your claim is filed, the insurance company will investigate the claim and then make their decision. They may:

• Ask for Additional Information: In some cases, if there are inconsistencies or they believe they have insufficient information to decide on your claim, an insurer may request additional details.
• Deny Your Claim: If your claim is denied, the insurer will need to give you their reason for doing so. Our legal team can appeal this decision, which may require providing additional evidence.
• Accept Your Claim: If the insurer accepts your claim, they will make a settlement offer. If this offer is too low, your lawyer can re-enter negotiations with the insurance provider. If you agree to the settlement, they will pay it out promptly and your claim will be considered closed.

Rosenberg & Rosenberg understands what makes a strong claim—and what tactics insurers use to deny compensation to injury victims. Our family-owned firm wants to fight for your rights.
