We Charge Nothing Up Front

The last thing you need is an additional financial burden during this already challenging time. Our catastrophic injury lawyer in Hollywood, FL, can take your case on contingency, meaning you owe us nothing until we obtain compensation for you. 

We Can Recover Damages for Current and Ongoing Expenses

Catastrophic injuries cause long-term or permanent physical complications that interfere with day-to-day living. As a result, you may have significant medical bills and other ongoing expenses related to your accident, injuries, and treatment. In general, our catastrophic injury lawyers can pursue compensation for these damages:

• Medical damages. Our attorneys will seek reimbursement for your current medical bills and pursue compensation for your future treatment. We want you to have the resources to pay for surgeries, medical equipment, physical therapy, long-term nursing services, lifecare costs, and other necessary care for as long as you need it. 
• Physical, mental, and emotional suffering. A catastrophic injury can rob you of your ability to achieve life goals, prohibit you from engaging in activities you used to enjoy, and alter your relationships with friends and loved ones. We can seek financial awards for these and other non-economic losses, including physical pain, disabling injuries, stress, depression, and anxiety. 
• Lost earnings. You may have to take an extended leave, change jobs, or quit the workforce because of your injury. We can help you pursue your lost wages, bonuses, tips, benefits, and compensation for the loss of your future earning capacity. 
• Various out-of-pocket expenses. We will review your case and determine if you qualify for other awards, including compensation for vehicle or personal property damages, household services, rental car fees, medical travel expenses, or medically necessary home/vehicle modifications.

Wrongful Death Damages

Our attorneys can also assist with a wrongful death case if your loved one suffered a fatal injury. According to Florida Statutes § 768.21, surviving family members can receive compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial costs, lost income, and lost support and services. In addition, survivors may also secure awards for their pain and suffering. 

We know that taking legal action can be difficult after a tragic loss. We are sorry for what you and your loved ones are going through and hope to take some of this burden off of your shoulders. We will take legal action on your behalf, so you deal with as little added stress as possible.

Do Not Wait Too Long To Pursue Compensation

Florida Statutes § 95.11 gives personal injury victims up to two years from the time of their accident to file a lawsuit. The statute of limitations also allows up to two years from your loved one’s passing to file a wrongful death case. 

Make sure you do not let these deadlines expire. Doing so may leave you with no options for recovering your losses.

Our Hollywood, FL, Catastrophic Injury Lawyers Will Pursue Responsible Parties

We believe those who hurt others with their negligent actions should pay for the harm they cause. Our catastrophic injury attorneys will help you build a robust case based on the four elements of negligence:

• Duty of care. We will show the at-fault party had an obligation to act in a reasonably safe manner (e.g., drive according to traffic laws or treat patients according to the accepted standards of care). 
• Breach of duty. We will prove the liable party failed to uphold their duty of care.
• Causation. We will demonstrate that the liable party’s breach of duty was a direct cause of your injuries. 
• Damages. Finally, we will prove that your injuries led to economic losses and pain and suffering. 

To construct our case, we will collect evidence, which may include:

• Expert testimony
• Eyewitness statements
• Police reports
• Surveillance video
• Cell phone footage
• Medical records
• Photographs of your injuries
• Physical data from the scene of your accident
• Bills, paystubs, receipts, and other proof of losses

Will Your Case Settle?

We may be able to secure a settlement for your damages instead of taking your case to court. Most cases settle out of court, but each case is unique. Your lawyer may decide that litigating your case will be your best chance of recovering what you deserve.

Whatever your best options are for recovery, we will not back down until we resolve your case, even if that means going to trial.
