What is Considered a Personal Injury?
Personal injury is any physical, mental, or emotional injury that a person may suffer as a result of the negligence of another. In some accidents, it may be immediately apparent that someone's carelessness contributed to your injuries and damages, such as a rear-end collision or being T-boned. In other cases, such as a slip and fall accident, it may not be so immediately obvious. In some instances there may be what is referred to as comparative negligence, meaning you still may have a damage recovery but it is apportioned by the degree of fault. It only benefits you to have an experienced personal injury attorney evaluate your case and represent your interests. NeJame Law has recovered millions upon millions for their clients and is dedicated to obtaining the maximum recovery for you.
There are many different types of personal injury cases under Florida Law that we handle, including:
- Auto accidents: Car accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents account for a large amount of the personal injury claims we see. Also, if you've been injured in a car accident or were involved in a school bus accident, you can trust us to know how to find the maximum insurance that may be available through the at fault party to compensate you fully for your injuries.
- Medical malpractice or Pharmaceutical Negligence: Unfortunately, our own doctors, surgeons, and other medical professionals can sometimes make errors, leaving us in pain and sometimes permanently injured. NeJame Law will assist you in determining who is responsible for such life shattering mistakes such as birth injuries, surgical errors, and prescription overdoses.
- Boating accidents: Boating is a favorite pastime of many residents and tourists throughout Central Florida, though it can often end in injury when excessive speed, inexperience, or alcohol intoxication are involved. Our firm can help you seek justice after an injury on the water.
- Serious and Catastrophic Injuries: Some injuries are more serious, or catastrophic, than others and lead to lifelong disability and other complications. Our firm takes these cases seriously and can help you get the justice you deserve after suffering from burn injuries, brain injuries, and neck and back injuries.
- Food poisoning: Restaurants, cafes, and other establishments can be at-fault for instances of food poisoning. However, some measure of permanent or ongoing injury is usually necessary for a substantial claim. We can guide you through this in making a determination.
- Police brutality and misconduct: If you have been injured by an overly aggressive, violent, or negligent police officer and subject to police brutality, we will evaluate your claim with you. This area of the law can be especially challenging and we have the expertise to guide you through it.
- Premises liability: This area of the law covers a range of matters such as being attacked or hurt by the negligent hiring or supervision of another. A lack of providing proper security, not having properly lighted premises, or falling down stairs that weren't maintained properly, or being involved in theme park accidents are but some examples. Property owners are responsible for keeping their premises safe and when they violate this obligation, they are accountable. Other types of premise liability accidents include slip and falls and dog bites.
The injuries a person can sustain in an accident vary. Some may seem relatively minor at first but only get worse over time. Conversely, some people fortunately heal fully and quickly. The amount of your financial recovery depends on many factors including these, but also may include one's age, financial situation, employment, dependents, lifestyle, pre-existing injuries, and degree of injury. Whether whiplash (soft tissue injury), broken bones and fractures, spinal cord and neck injuries, traumatic brain injuries, loss of limbs, or death, we are here to help. The sooner you retain your lawyer, the better it typically is. Obtaining pictures of the accident or injury, securing witness statements, advising on a path of treatment, or a response to an insurance company inquiry could all be essential in securing and maximizing your claim for damages.
Can Families File Claims After Death?
In addition to helping injured individuals seek compensation for their damages, we also provide comfort and guidance for grieving families who have lost spouses, siblings, and children in accidents. In addition to recovering medical bills, property damage, and lost wages, we can recover additional damages through a wrongful death claim. Some of these damages include loss of companionship, burial and funeral expenses, and lost income.
Though your loved one is no longer with you, our lawyers utilize our knowledge, care, and concern to make sure that you have the requisite guidance, representation, and answers as you navigate these painful, new, and very sad waters.
Florida's Statute of Limitations
Acting quickly after an accident is important if you wish to increase your chances of recovering compensation. Individuals who have been injured don't have all the time in the world to file personal injury claims—every state, including Florida, has an established statute of limitations. In our state, for injuries that occurred after March 24, 2023, victims have two years from the date of injury to file a civil lawsuit. For injuries that occurred before March 24, 2023, victims have four years from the date of their injury to file a civil lawsuit. Medical Malpractice claims, wrongful death, and cases involving defamation have a two year statute of limitation as well.
