Handle All Communication Regarding Your Case
You may receive calls from insurance companies and at-fault parties involved in your accident after you sustain an injury in Brandon. We recommend you allow your lawyer to handle all communication regarding your accident.
Insurance companies focus on protecting their company and saving money while ignoring your best interests. They have a reputation for trying to convince injured individuals to accept a settlement right away. However, these settlements often do not provide acceptable coverage for your losses.
Our team can field all phone calls for you, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Go Over Settlement Offers in Your Claim
You may eventually decide to settle your personal injury claim in Brandon. However, we recommend that you do not consider settling until you understand all your losses. You may want to wait until you recover from your injuries to consider a settlement offer.
Once you’re ready to look at offers, we can assess them. We understand what standard offers look like in Florida and take steps to make sure our clients receive fair treatment. We stand up for your rights and can negotiate with insurance agents on your behalf.
Note that once you accept a settlement offer from insurance agents, you usually cannot change your mind. This means that you could be stuck with an offer that does not address all of your losses. Allow your lawyer to go over your deal before you sign any paperwork.
Recovering Compensation in a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Accidents can be expensive for accident victims, especially if they suffer permanent or life-changing injuries. Mounting medical bills, loss of wages, and miscellaneous expenses can drive victims and their families to financial hardship.
However, if an accident happens due to the negligence of another, the law generally offers recourse to victims.
Economic Damages
Brandon personal injury lawyers can help you hold the negligent party to account and pursue a fair settlement for your damages. While each personal injury case is unique, you could seek various economic damages such as:
- Medical expenses
- Costs for medical devices and accessories
- Rehabilitative treatments such as physiotherapy
- Prescription and over-the-counter medications
- Lost income
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket costs
- Costs of home healthcare assistance
Non-Economic Damages
In some personal injury claims, particularly when the victim suffered substantial injuries, non-economic damages may be available. These damages can be tricky to calculate as they do not come with receipts, statements, or a particular dollar value. However, if you suffered extensive injuries and losses, non-economic damages could be substantial and might include:
- Physical pain and anguish
- Emotional suffering
- Reduced life enjoyment
- Loss of a limb or a sense
- Disfigurement
- Permanent disability
We consider your options to secure economic and non-economic damages after your accident.

Types of Personal Injury Claims
While accidents happen every day, someone who gets hurt in an accident does not automatically have grounds for filing a personal injury claim. For a personal injury claim, it is important to note that the entity must have acted negligently in causing a victim’s injuries and damages.
There can be many examples of personal injury lawsuits, including but not limited to the following:
Car and Truck Accidents
If you suffered injuries and financial losses due to a careless or reckless driver, you could potentially file a personal injury lawsuit. Your Brandon personal injury lawyer can assist you with all motor vehicle accidents, including truck and bus accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, and others.
Slip and Fall Claims
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), falls can have devastating consequences for older adults who may have to give up independent living after a serious fall.
If a visitor to a property suffers an injury due to a lack of maintenance or the presence of a dangerous condition, they could potentially recover compensation with a lawsuit. Hazardous conditions can include:
- Missing lights
- Broken floorboards
- Wet and slippery floors
- Missing steps
- Potholes
- Loose rugs and mats
Slip and fall cases are just one type of potential premises liability claims. Premises liability cases can include negligent security, exposure to harmful toxins, and others. Your Brandon personal injury lawyer can advise you on all premises liability claims.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect
According to the National Council on Aging (NCOA), one in 10 Americans over 60 suffers from abuse. Seniors residing in nursing homes can be particularly vulnerable to physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse.
However, if your loved one had to endure egregious abuse or neglect in their nursing home, you do not have to stand for it. You can potentially hold the nursing home to account with a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
Boating Accidents
Warm weather and warm waters all year round in nearby Tampa Bay make Brandon an ideal place for boat lovers. However, tragic and sometimes fatal boating accidents can and do occur.
Suppose your boating accident and injuries happened due to the negligence of a company or someone operating the boat. In that case, you could have legal recourse and file a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party.
Product Liability Claims
If an individual dies or suffers injuries due to a defective product, they or their relatives could find legal recourse with a personal injury lawsuit. Product liability cases cover a wide range of defective items, including but not limited to drugs, appliances, toys, car parts, and other consumer products. You could have a claim if you or a loved one got hurt due to a marketing error, design defect, or manufacturing fault.
