The Dickstein Law Firm focuses on recovering compensation for personal injury clients. We have won substantial awards for people injured in a variety of situations. Our personal injury practice areas include the following and more:

Car Accidents

Car accidents make up a substantial portion of our practice in Central Florida. Every day, dozens of people suffer severe injuries on Florida’s roads and highways. We help those victims recover compensation for their injuries so they can get their lives back.

Florida has unique laws when it comes to car accident liability. You can recover compensation even if you were partly at fault for the collision. The state also requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, and you typically must file a claim through your own PIP policy before going after the other driver and their insurer for damages.

That said, if your PIP policy fails to cover the losses associated with your accident, you can pursue the other driver for everything that is left over. We take on that process for you to make sure you collect what you deserve.

Truck Accidents

Accidents involving 18-wheelers are often catastrophic. These trucks are exponentially bigger, heavier, and more destructive than any other vehicle on the road. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration reports that in 2017, there were about 450,000 crashes involving large trucks. When a car collides with one, its occupants often suffer severe, life-changing injuries.

If you were injured in a truck accident, we can take action against the truck driver as well as the trucking company. Florida’s vicarious liability laws hold employers responsible for damages caused by their workers. Additional parties may also share in the liability for your injuries, including the shipping company and the truck manufacturer.

Uber and Lyft Accidents

Car accident claims involving Uber or Lyft drivers can be highly complex. Such companies provide generous insurance policies to their drivers, but these policies only pay out in limited situations. After an accident, the ride share company will likely do everything possible to argue that the circumstances surrounding the crash make it ineligible for an insurance payout.

The Dickstein Law Firm will take on the ride share company as well as the insurance company and make sure you get the compensation you deserve regardless of how the accident happened.

Slip and Fall Accidents

A slip-and-fall accident can lead to severe bodily injury, lost time at work, and the need for expensive surgeries or medical procedures. The person or business that owns the property where the injury occurred may be liable for some or all of the expenses associated with your fall. Florida’s premises liability laws spell out the duties owed by property owners and managers to their guests. Our Goldenrod personal injury lawyers will investigate your injury and gather evidence proving that the property owner or manager had a duty of care to you and failed to uphold it.

Bicycle/Pedestrian Accidents

Bicyclists and pedestrians have rights to the road in Florida. If a motorist violated those rights and injured you, we will go after them and their insurer. We will help you get compensated for the financial losses associated with your injury as well as for your pain and suffering.

Dog Bites

If you suffered an attack or bite from a dog or other pet, such as a cat, hamster, or reptile, there is a strong chance we can go after the owner for damages. Florida’s laws are very strict when it comes to liability for injuries caused by pets. According to Florida Statutes Title XLV. Torts § 767.04., by presenting evidence that the owner knew of the pet’s aggressive tendencies, or that the pet was not properly restrained at the time of the attack, we can hold the owner liable and make them compensate you for your injuries.
