Miami Catastrophic Injury Attorney
Personal injury claims and lawsuits arise when people are injured due to the negligence or intentional acts of others. When such acts cause injury to another person, the actions constitute a "tort" or a civil wrong that provides the basis for a lawsuit. If a court determines that a person is liable or legally responsible for injuring another, that person may be forced to pay the injured person compensatory damages. In a civil system of law, compensatory damages are monies awarded to injured people to "make them whole" or restore them to a condition prior to the injury. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to the injured person. Punitive damages refer to money intended to punish wrongdoers and prevent them from harming others in the future.
Our firm has more than 38 years of experience litigating all types of personal injury claims, including those arising out of:
- Automotive accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Boating accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
If, in the unfortunate event, a tort or civil wrong leads to the death of a person, the Florida wrongful death statutes allow a decedent's beneficiaries to file a lawsuit and recover compensation. The types of damages recoverable in a wrongful death action vary depending on the specific situation. Claimants may recover for burial and funeral expenses, loss of future earnings, loss of benefits, loss of companionship and care, and for mental anguish.
