Personal injury law refers to cases where the plaintiff sustains wounds due to another party’s negligent actions. The defendant can be anyone, including other individuals, a business, a medical professional, or a workplace. Some of the most common types of personal injury cases we handle include:
Automobile Accidents
Residents of Florida typically rely on cars, trucks, and motorcycles for everyday transportation. However, sometimes motor vehicle accidents happen, and drivers and passengers suffer serious injuries. Our attorneys work to establish the facts of your accident and obtain the compensation you can use to recover from your injuries.
Workers’ Compensation
It’s not unusual for accidents to occur while on the job. Whether your role involves using heavy machinery or you sit at a desk every day, you may be the victim of an unexpected accident at work.
When accidents occur, your employer’s workers’ compensation insurance agency may minimize your injuries to avoid paying you what you are due. Morgan & Morgan can work on your behalf to make sure that you receive fair payment.
Medical Malpractice
We trust physicians and surgeons to act responsibly when caring for our medical needs. However, sometimes doctors fail to exercise reasonable care for their clients. As a result of their negligence, patients may suffer severe injuries.
If you believe you’re the victim of a negligent doctor, it’s essential to get legal advice from our experienced medical malpractice team.
Slip and Fall
Slips and falls involve injuries sustained because of improperly maintained premises. You can be the victim of a slip and fall accident anywhere—at a grocery store, shopping mall, or even a friend’s home.
Slip and fall accidents often result in injuries like broken bones, concussions, and spinal cord damage. Attorneys at Morgan and Morgan can pursue negligent parties for damages to help you recover from your slip and fall accident.
Wrongful Death
Sometimes, an accident results in death. If you are a relative of a person whose accident led to their death, you may recover damages for funeral expenses and loss of companionship or parental guidance. A personal injury attorney can work with you to determine the circumstances of the accident and conclude who was at fault.
While these are some of the most common types of personal injury cases, many other potential claims exist. An attorney at Morgan & Morgan can evaluate the circumstances of your accident to determine the appropriate steps to take.
