Types of Personal Injury Cases

Among the kinds of cases handled by personal injury lawyers in Boca Raton Jessica Mishali are:

• Auto Accidents: Florida ranks third in the nation for automobile deaths with 3,300 residents needlessly losing their lives each year (U.S. Census). If you are injured due to someone else’s negligence, we will work diligently to help you gain compensation.
• Bicycle, Motorcycle, and Motorized Scooter Accidents: Individuals who ride two-wheeled vehicles have virtually no protection in an accident. For this reason, their injuries are often very serious, and often permanent.
• 18-Wheeler Accidents: Even though 18-wheeler operators can be among the most skilled drivers on the road, they often drive for long periods with little sleep. When a big rig crashes, other vehicles involved are often irreparable, and the occupants left with devastating injuries.
• Slip and Fall Accidents: Next to auto accidents, these are among the most common personal injury cases. Slip and falls can occur from poorly maintained stairs or surfaces, items that are spilled or obstruct passage, etc.
• Dog Bites: Many states have a so-called “one bite” dog law. Dog bite injuries in Florida, however, are treated under strict liability statutes. Given that many dog attack injury victims are children, such an experience can leave emotional scars.
• Product Liability: Consumers are really at the mercy of manufacturers. When a product either malfunctions or is improperly made, the victim may be injured or even killed.
• Wrongful Death: These cases are brought for loss suffered by the survivors, usually spouse and children. The death of a loved one is always devastating; when this person is also the major bread winner, the family may be left destitute.
• Swimming/Drowning: Children under the age of 15 have the highest incidence of death and injury in pool and lake accidents, but anyone may be a victim. Along with drowning accidents, this type of PI case may involve boating accidents, injury from an object, infection from improperly maintained pools, etc.
• Work Injury: Each year thousands of individuals suffer work injuries due to exposure to toxic chemicals, falls, ergonomic issues, and many more. Construction ranks highest in the nation for work injuries, but a person can be hurt even in an office.

Auto Accident Claims in Florida

No-Fault Insurance

• When you’re involved in an auto accident in Florida, your personal injury protection (P I P) will cover 80% of your medical bills up to $10,000. This coverage will apply whether you are at fault or not.
• However, in order to make a successful claim against the other driver saying they were negligent, you must have suffered a permanent injury.
• You have a duty to cooperate with your insurance company. However, you should not speak with the other driver’s insurance company, without first consulting with an attorney.
• It is important to have uninsured or underinsured coverage under your automobile insurance policy. If you have an accident with an insured motor vehicle or one that has insurance but not enough to cover your damages, you can make a claim against your own insurance company.
