A wrongful death is defined when a person dies as the result of the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. These claims hold the responsible party accountable for the death and provide compensation to the surviving family members for their losses.
What types of damages can I recover in a slip and fall lawsuit?
You may be entitled to recover various damages including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage. If the situation involves negligence or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the responsible parties and deter similar conduct in the future.
How are trucking accidents different from auto accidents?
Trucking accidents often involve unique factors such as the size and weight of commercial trucks, federal regulations governing the trucking industry, and potential multiple liable parties including the truck driver, trucking company, and manufacturers. These complexities require specialized legal expertise and we have it.
How long do I have to file a claim after an auto accident?
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim after an auto accident in Florida is four years. It’s important to act promptly and consult with an attorney as soon as possible to make sure you meet all deadlines and preserve your right to pursue compensation.
Should we provide statements to an insurance company without an attorney’s help?
The more significant the injuries, the more consideration should be given to consulting with an attorney before providing any information to an insurance company. Without legal representation, any information given regarding the facts and circumstances surrounding the case may come back to haunt the injured party at a later date. Identifying information, such as names, addresses, and so on, can be provided without risk.
What is a normal settlement amount?
Insurance companies pay settlements because they have no other alternative, not because it is the right thing to do. The proper value of a claim is established when an experienced trial attorney reviews and interprets the case information, such as:
Medical expenses
Loss of past income
Future medical bills
The client’s age
Permanent limitations you now have
Impact on your future earning capacity
Activities you no longer do
Activities you do but no longer enjoy
Prognosis for further problems
Strength of lay witness testimony, etc.
A good attorney begins with one goal in mind—what a reasonable jury would award as fair and adequate compensation, but there is no set or average amount.
