Our lawyers will review the facts of your case and determine what is necessary to show the responsible party’s conduct caused your injury.

Proving Liability for Your Injuries in a Traffic Collision

In Florida, drivers must carry Personal Injury Protection automobile insurance of $10,000. If you suffer an injury in a traffic accident, your own insurance covers the first $10,000 for your injuries regardless of who is at fault.

You can file a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party if your injuries are serious. If you are not sure if you meet the limit, contact an attorney at The Dickstein Law Firm.

In a personal injury lawsuit, our car accident lawyers must show the other driver was negligent because he or she did not drive in a safe manner. Examples of negligent conduct by a driver include the following:

• Driving in excess of the speed limit or too fast for the weather conditions
• Failing to stop at a stop sign, running a red light, or failing to yield the right of way.
• Following your vehicle too closely
• Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs
• Failing to pay attention (talking on the phone, texting, adjusting the radio or GPS, or daydreaming)

Our lawyers must show the accident caused your injuries. How will our lawyers do this?

• Visit the accident scene, look for tire marks on the pavement or debris in the area, and take pictures.
• Get footage of the accident from a traffic camera.
• Hire an expert to reconstruct the accident.

Proving Liability for Your Injuries in a Slip and Fall Case

If you suffer an injury on another’s property, you may get compensation for your injury. What must our lawyers show?

• A hazard existed. Someone slipped on a grape in a grocery store, stepped in a hole on someone’s property, or fell on a broken step.
• The owner or operator knew or should have known of the hazard and did not remove the hazard or warn you. For example, water was on the floor long enough and the owner should have known of the hazard.

What will our lawyers do?

• Interview employees or others who saw the accident.
• Talk to employees to see what cleanup procedures were in place.
• Get access to any video footage of the accident.
• Check to see if a business violated a building code.
• Investigate to see if similar accidents occurred at the business.

Proving Liability in Dog Bite Cases

Dog bite cases differ from other personal injury accidents. Our dog bite lawyers do not have to show the dog owner was negligent. If a dog bites you, the dog owner is liable even if the dog never bit anyone or never displayed violent propensities.

Impact of Your Fault in a Personal Injury Case

Under Florida’s pure comparative negligence rule, your fault does not preclude a personal injury lawsuit. Your fault reduces your recovery by the percentage of your fault.

Filing a Timely Personal Injury Lawsuit

In Florida, you must file a personal injury suit within four years of your injury. Do not wait until the time is about to expire to bring your suit. Our lawyers need to start collecting evidence. Skid marks fade, employees change jobs, and memories fade with time.
