- Wrongful Death
- Workers CompensationOften, construction sites are dangerous places. There may be heavy equipment on site, as well as construction workers who have many different tasks and may not have the training or experience to carry them out. Generally, construction workers can only recover workers' compensation in connection with their own employers. However, they may have claims for negligence against non-employer entities that were responsible for their injuries. For example, if a framing subcontractor employee is electrocuted at the construction site due to mistakes made by the electrical subcontractor, they may be able to recover workers' compensation benefits from their employer, the framer, and also sue the electrical subcontractor for negligence and other causes of action in civil court. Similarly, if a construction accident is partly a result of a defective product, the worker may be able to sue the manufacturer. Nursing Home Negligence
- Premises LiabilityMotorcyclists are mostly unprotected if they collide with a larger vehicle. Their injuries may be catastrophic or fatal, even when the other driver in the collision is able to walk away unscathed. Common motorcycle accident injuries include skull fractures, fractured ribs, broken jaws, eye injuries, broken arms and legs, neck and back injuries, soft tissue injuries, internal organ injuries, and internal hemorrhaging. In Florida, some motorcyclists choose not to wear helmets, and Florida law does not require motorcyclists to wear helmets. Thus, not wearing a helmet does not mean that you were at fault for an accident. Our car accident attorneys can help Miami riders prevent a defendant from improperly shifting the blame to them. Premises Liability
- Personal InjuryIf you were harmed because of another party's negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, you may be able to recover compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Personal injury lawsuits are filed in civil court. Often, damages are pursued under a theory of negligence, in which it is alleged that the defendant acted below the standard of care for a certain situation. Most personal injury lawsuits settle before trial. However, having an experienced trial attorney with a strong reputation makes it more likely that you can obtain a favorable settlement. Defendants and insurers that believe that you may not be willing to take a case to trial may try to take advantage by not offering you the settlement that you deserve.
- Medical MalpracticeWhen you go to the hospital for medical care, you trust that you are receiving appropriate care. Unfortunately, doctors and other health care providers do make mistakes, and these mistakes can have injurious consequences. Not all mistakes are considered medical malpractice. To show medical malpractice, we will need to prove that a doctor owed a professional duty of care, deviated from that duty of care, and caused your injuries as a result. We will need to retain a credible expert to provide opinions about what the professional duty of care was under the circumstances, how the health care provider deviated from it, and causation.
