Trusted Litigation Attorney For Personal Injuries

Accidents happen every day in Miami. Motorists fail to use reasonable care when they are on the roads, medical professionals fail to provide the necessary standard of care, and property owners neglect to ensure their premises are safe. All of these accidents result in injuries that range from minor to catastrophic. When people are injured due to someone else’s negligence, they should not have to pay for their own medical expenses and other losses. Below, our Miami personal injury attorney how to claim compensation after an accident caused by another person.
Practice Areas
Personal injury encompasses many different types of accidents. While many of the laws remain the same in these different types of cases, others are vastly different. For example, the same laws that apply in a medical malpractice case are not applicable in wrongful death claims. Our experienced attorneys can handle all types of personal injury cases, including:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Medical malpractice
- Premises liability accidents, including slip and falls
- Product liability
- Nursing home abuse
- Wrongful death
It is important to speak to a Miami personal injury lawyer after any of the above types of accidents. You may be entitled to compensation and an experienced attorney can help you obtain it.
Damages Available in Personal Injury Cases
After an accident caused by another person’s negligence, or carelessness, you may deserve compensation for your losses. In personal injury cases, compensation is known as damages and it is divided into economic and non-economic losses.
Economic damages refer to the losses you suffered that have a concrete quantifiable value. These damages include your medical expenses, lost income, property damage, and more. Not all losses are as easy to calculate as economic damages. These losses fall into the category of non-economic damages, which do not have an actual dollar value. These damages include pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and reduced quality of life.
It is not always easy to determine right away how much a personal injury claim is worth. Some of the factors that will impact any settlement you receive are as follows:
- The nature and extent of your injuries
- The extent of your other losses and what they have cost you physically, mentally, and financially
- The type of expenses you will incur in the future due to your injuries
- The extent to which your income has been impacted due to your injuries
- Whether your injuries are temporary or permanent
Generally, the more severe your injuries are and the more losses you have incurred, the more compensation you can receive in a settlement.
