Seeking Compensation for All Types of Injuries
The main purpose of a personal injury lawsuit is to seek compensation for the economic and non-economic damages associated with the injuries you have suffered due to someone else's negligence. Common types of injuries include the following:
- Neck and back injuries: Collisions, falls and other sudden accidents can cause serious damage to the neck, back and spinal cord, ranging from relatively minor whiplash to quadriplegia and paralysis. Many of these injuries require expensive pain management, extensive surgery or narcotic injections.
- Broken bones and fractures: There are many different types of damage that can be done to human bones, from clean breaks to comminuted fractures.
- Brain and head injuries: Trauma to the head can cause behavior changes, difficulty concentrating and other serious brain damage symptoms. This is referred to as a concussion or a closed-head injury. We work closely with neuropsychologists on brain injury cases
- Joint injuries: Injuries to the elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and other joints may require significant medical attention and recovery time. These are usually treated by orthopedic surgeons.
- Burn injuries: Depending on the degree of severity associated with a burn, there may be a risk of infection, amputation or permanent disfigurement.
Serious injuries can cause economic damages including medical expenses, lost wages and earning power, and vocational rehabilitation and pain management expenses. It is also possible in a personal injury lawsuit to seek compensation for non-economic pain and suffering.
Representing Grieving Families in Wrongful Death Lawsuits
When a car accident or any other type of accident proves fatal, the family of the person who has died has a right under Florida wrongful death law to pursue compensation from anyone whose negligence may have been responsible for the fatality that occurred.
The wrongful death act defines "survivors" and regulates damage awards. Mr. Gross and Mr. Schuster are thoroughly familiar with Florida's Wrongful Death Act.
Our law firm is devoted to helping both seriously injured people and grieving families pursue public accountability and fair compensation. Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your potential personal injury or wrongful death claim.
