But if you’ve been injured, it can be difficult to enjoy the pleasures of your community. You may struggle to get around and watch bills pile up quickly. If your injuries are due to the negligence of others, you need legal representation that understands the urgency of your situation.

Many injuries occur when others don’t take the reasonable care required of them by law. This is called “negligence.” Others act in such a careless manner that they exhibit a conscious disregard for the safety of others. This is called “recklessness.”

Not everyone has an ongoing duty to look out for the safety of others under every circumstance. But the law does establish obligations for people involved in certain activities or based on their relationship to the injured person. For example:

Many life-shattering personal injuries are due to another’s careless or reckless behavior, like distracted drivers, inattentive landlords, or inconsiderate business owners.

There are as many causes of personal injuries as there are alligators in Florida! However, some causes are more common than others.

Auto accidents. Distracted driving, speeding, and unsafe road conditions are some factors that lead to avoidable collisions.

Motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists are particularly susceptible to suffering catastrophic injuries, like brain injury, spinal injury, or death.

Bicycle accidents. Bicyclists are also very vulnerable on the road. Inattentive or aggressive drivers can cause permanent, devastating injuries.

Pedestrian accidents. Florida is consistently ranked as one of the country’s most dangerous states for pedestrians.

DUI/DWI driving accidents. In addition to criminal punishment, intoxicated drivers who cause injury can be held liable for additional damages, including punitive damages, intended to punish their reckless behavior.

Animal attacks and dog bites. Both household pets and exotic animals can cause serious injuries, even if they are properly cared for and handled. Holding animal owners accountable helps keep everyone safe and minimizes the potential for future incidents.

Medical malpractice and negligence. Unfortunately, many Florida injuries are due to the malpractice or negligence of medical professionals.

Premises liability. Poorly maintained property may cause tenants, customers, and visitors to suffer harm, while negligent security holds a property owner accountable for providing safety from outside influences.
