Our Plantation Personal Injury Attorneys Advocate for Fair Compensation

Depending on the accident that caused your personal injury, your injuries could range in severity. Some severe injuries include:

• Broken bones
• Spinal cord injuries
• Lacerations
• Nerve damage
• Traumatic brain injuries
• Dental trauma
• Soft tissue damage
• Internal organ damage

These injuries can lead to loss of income, physical pain, and mounting medical expenses. Our injury attorneys can examine the full extent of your losses and advocate for you to receive fair compensation for them.

Recoverable compensation in personal injury cases may include:

Injury-Related Medical Expenses

This includes bills for emergency room visits, primary care doctor or medical specialist appointments, medications, physical therapy, surgeries, long-term care, and more. A personal injury settlement should include both your current medical expenses and expenses you can expect in the future due to your injuries.

Injury-Related Job Losses

Lost wages, as well as reduced earning capacity, are typically recoverable. Our accident injury law firm may also be able to recover the loss of possible job benefits, such as PTO, bonuses, and salary increases.

Non-economic Losses Tied to Your Injury

These are losses that usually do not have a direct financial cost. These recoverable losses may include physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of consortium.

Fatal Injury Damages

In the tragic event that a loved one lost their life due to an accident, one of our wrongful death attorneys can help you seek compensation for their loss. You may be eligible to recover injury-related medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of the deceased’s financial support, loss of companionship, and funeral and burial expenses.

How Our Plantation Injury Lawyers Build Compelling Cases

Your claim must prove that your losses were due to someone else’s negligent actions. To prove this, Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s Plantation personal injury attorneys must determine who was to blame and then establish the four elements of negligence.

These four elements are:

• Duty of Care: Your lawyer must show that the other party should have acted responsibly towards you. For example, a dog owner has a duty of care towards others when they take their dog out in public.
• Breach of Care: Your lawyer must prove that the liable party breached their duty of care towards you. For example, maybe they purposefully let their dog off the leash.
• Direct Cause: Your lawyer will also need to prove that this breached duty of care was the direct cause of your injuries. For example, maybe their dog lunged at and bit you.
• Losses: Finally, your lawyer must show you suffered losses. For example, medical records can show the severity of the bite you received.

Who May Be at Fault for Your Plantation Accident?

Anyone who meets the four elements of negligence may be liable. Some examples are:

• A drunk driver who hits a pedestrian
• A government entity that fails to maintain safe roads, leading to a motorcycle crash
• A business owner who fails to promptly clean up a spill which causes someone to slip and fall
• A doctor who misdiagnoses a patient

Determining who was at fault can be difficult, especially when multiple parties carry some portion of the blame. That is where our legal team can come in.

How Do Our Lawyers Prove the Four Elements of Negligence?

The attorneys at our law firm prove negligence by investigating the accident and gathering evidence that helps support the liability claim. We may do so through some of the following actions:

• Interviewing witnesses
• Obtaining surveillance footage of the event
• Reviewing official documentation, such as police or incident reports and driving records
• Consulting with third-party experts, such as an accident reconstructionist
• Analyzing evidence gathered from the scene, such as photos of debris or skid marks

At Rosenberg & Rosenberg, we can handle your case no matter how complex it may seem.

What Should You Do if You’ve Been Injured in a Plantation Accident?

After an accident, your biggest priority should be your safety. Any actions besides seeking medical attention can be taken by our Plantation attorneys on your behalf.

If you are able to do so, though, here are some helpful do’s and don’ts for after an accident has occurred:

What to Do After an Injury

• Seek Prompt Medical Attention: Following up on your injuries with a doctor is essential, even if you choose to forgo emergency medical services. Doctors can diagnose the extent of your injuries and create a treatment plan.
• Report the Accident: Reporting the accident to authorities helps increase safety in the immediate aftermath. The police will create an official report of the accident, which can be helpful for your personal injury claim.
• Document Your Injuries: Take photographs of any visible injuries you have and of the scene of your accident.

What Not to Do After an Injury

• Take Blame: When talking to an insurance adjuster or other involved parties, avoid speculating about the accident or taking blame for it.
• Post Online: Avoid posting about the accident on your social media accounts, as these posts may be used against you.
• Stop Medical Treatment: Do not stop a prescribed treatment plan, as this may be seen as a sign that your injuries are not as severe as you have claimed.

Florida Laws That May Impact Your Plantation Personal Injury Case

Our injury attorneys ensure that your case meets all necessary legal requirements. Two laws that may impact your case are:

Modified Comparative Negligence for Personal Injury Claims

Modified comparative negligence means that an injury victim can recover compensation for their injuries even if they are partly liable. However, if they are more than 50 percent at fault, they cannot recover any compensation.

It is also important to note that your percentage of fault will reduce your recoverable damages. For example, if your damages are worth $200,000 but you were 40 percent at fault, then you would only be awarded $120,000.

Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits

Timeliness is essential in personal injury cases. Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you typically only have two years in which you can file a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit.

Rosenberg & Rosenberg’s legal team wants to start on your case as soon as possible to protect your rights.
