What Kinds Of Injuries Does A Personal Injury Lawyer Handle?
When someone has harmed you through a careless or reckless action, you may be legally eligible to pursue financial compensation through a personal injury claim. Our legal team includes:
- Boca Raton Car Accident Lawyers: Palm Beach County saw over 26,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2023. Drivers have a duty of care to others when behind the wheel. When a driver breaches this duty and injures you, we can pursue them for compensation.
- Boca Raton Truck Accident Attorneys: Truck accident cases can be more complicated than a typical traffic crash case. The truck driver and their commercial trucking company can each be liable parties. Our lawyers can carefully investigate so that all liable parties are held accountable.
- Boca Raton Bicycle Accident Lawyers: Bike accidents often result in catastrophic injuries, which may lead to serious financial concerns. Our lawyers can seek maximum compensation so that you can confidently address your medical care and other needs.
- Boca Raton Slip and Fall Injury Attorneys: When a property owner fails to keep their premises safe, our lawyers can gather evidence that proves they were negligent.
- Boca Raton Motorcycle Accident Lawyers: In 2023, 372 people were injured in motorcycle accidents in Palm Beach County. If you were injured in such an event, you may be facing a changed future. Our lawyers can advocate for the compensation that addresses your needs.
- Boca Raton Pedestrian Accident Attorneys: Whether a car ran a red light or failed to yield at a crosswalk, we can fight for the financial justice you deserve.
- Boca Raton Wrongful Death Lawyers: If you lost a loved one after they suffered a personal injury, please accept our condolences. We can seek compensation for medical expenses related to their injuries, the loss of their financial support and companionship, funeral expenses, and more.
Don’t let negligent parties get away with the harm they’ve done. Contact the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine to discuss your legal options.
What Can I Get Compensation For After A Personal Injury?
After an injury, you will probably face a variety of unexpected costs. Our Boca Raton personal injury attorneys fight for compensation for all the losses associated with our clients’ injuries.
These may include:
Medical Bills Related To The Personal Injury
As anyone who has spent time in the hospital can attest, the cost of medical expenses adds up quickly. Even a short outpatient visit can lead to thousands of dollars in bills. Depending on the nature of your injury, you might also require weeks, months, or even a lifetime of rehabilitation and therapy.
We pursue compensation not only for your current medical bills but also for any costs you may incur in the future. By examining your diagnoses and consulting with medical experts, the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can pursue the responsible party for the full cost of your lifetime medical care expenses.
Injury-Related Lost Wages And Diminished Earning Capacity
You rely on your income to keep a roof over your head, food on your table, and clothes on your back. But what if your injury keeps you away from work or takes away your ability to perform your job for the rest of your life?
Our legal team pursues the party responsible for the income you have already lost from being away from work, as well as future earnings or benefits you will no longer receive due to your injury.
Pain And Suffering Caused By The Injury
Pain from an injury can be severe and disabling, and recovery can be a lengthy, even lifelong, process. While no amount of money can lessen the pain, pain and suffering compensation can keep financial woes from compounding your troubles as you fight back from your injury.
You may also be eligible for other losses, such as property losses, loss of quality of life, loss of enjoyment of life, and home modifications. Our personal injury law firm can explain more after we investigate your case.
How Your Boca Raton Personal Injury Lawyers Establish Negligence
To successfully recover the compensation you deserve, your lawyer must prove that someone else caused your losses. To do so, we must show that four key criteria have been met. These criteria are:
- The liable party owed you (or a loved one) a duty of care. For example, a truck driver owes a duty of care to everyone else on the road. They uphold their duty by following all applicable traffic laws.
- They breached their duty of care. For example, a driver consumed alcohol before driving.
- This breach directly caused you or a loved one harm. For example, a business owner left electrical cords lying around, and you tripped over one.
- The breach also caused you to have provable losses. For example, medical records can show the injuries that occurred because of the accident.
We prove these criteria through a meticulous investigation of the incident.
How Do We Investigate Your Personal Injury?
Our investigation may involve gathering and analyzing evidence in order to build our case. We may also consult with experts, such as accident reconstructionists. Helpful evidence depends on the nature of your accident, but common sources of proof that the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine collects include:
- Eyewitness testimony
- Police reports
- Black box data, if commercial vehicles were involved
- Maintenance reports
- Driving records
- Safety reports
- Physical evidence, such as skid marks
- Surveillance footage and photos
What Laws May Impact Your Ability To Recover Compensation After A Personal Injury?
While each case is unique and may have specific laws that apply, such as federal regulations for the trucking industry or the Florida Wrongful Death Act, there are two main laws that are likely to affect your case. These are:
Florida’s Statute of Limitations For Personal Injury Cases
Under Florida Statutes § 95.11, you generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit. While there may be exceptions, it’s important to discuss this timeline with your lawyer. Our Boca Raton attorneys can work to file your case within any applicable deadline.
Florida’s Modified Comparative Negligence Rule For Personal Injury Cases
Under Florida Statutes § 768.81, you may still be able to recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for your injuries. However, if you are 51 percent or more at fault, then you may be ineligible to recover compensation. Additionally, your recoverable compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault.
If you allow our accident injury attorneys to represent you, we can pursue evidence that protects your right to the maximum possible recovery.
What Should You Do After A Personal Injury In Boca Raton?
After an injury, you should always seek medical attention as your top priority. Untreated injuries can have serious consequences. In addition to seeing a doctor, actions that can be helpful for preserving your legal rights are:
Reporting The Personal Injury
Depending on how you were hurt, there may be different authorities to contact.
For example, if you slipped and fell at the grocery store, you would want to inform the manager. If you were involved in a traffic accident, call the Boca Raton Police Services Department. Police officers can help ensure everyone is safe at an accident scene. Additionally, they will write a police report detailing their observations. This report can be key evidence for your claim.
Document The Personal Injury
Take photographs of the accident scene and of your visible injuries, if you are able to do so. Once you are away from the scene, you should keep track of bills and receipts related to the accident and your injuries.
Our legal team can request copies of police reports and medical records on your behalf.
Continue Prescribed Treatment For Your Injuries
If a doctor creates a treatment plan for you, follow it to the best of your ability. Doing so is not only important for your recovery but also for preserving your claim. Insurance companies often point to stopped or delayed treatment as a way to minimize your claim. They may argue that you didn’t need the treatment because your injuries were not as serious as you said.
If you are concerned about medical expenses or have other worries about your treatment plan, talk to your injury lawyer in Boca Raton about what next steps you can take.
Have A Lawyer Present When Talking To Insurance Adjusters
A simple apology or a mistaken remembrance of your actions can negatively impact your claim. If an insurance adjuster comes to speak to you about the accident, have your attorney present. We can ensure that your legal rights are protected during this questioning.
If you are unable to have your lawyer present, then avoid apologizing or taking blame for the accident. Answer questions truthfully but directly. Do not hypothesize about your actions. If you can’t remember something, say you can’t remember it.
