While the details and severity of every case are different, some of the most common types of personal injury accidents in Southchase are:

• Car accident: The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles states that of the more than 400,000 car accidents that happen each year in Florida, over 166,000 of those accidents result in personal injuries.
• Medical malpractice: Medical errors are the third-leading cause of death in the United States. These cases can be highly complex and require the victim–or the victim’s family–to show that there was a breach in the duty of care towards the patient.
• Slip and fall accident: Property owners and business owners have a duty to keep their premises safe from hazards. If the slip and fall was the result of negligence on the part of the property owner, they have breached their duty to the victim and may owe damages.
• Dog bites: Dog bites can cause serious harm, whether from the bites themselves or a possible disease that can follow. Dog owners in Florida are liable for the injuries if their dogs bite someone, regardless of whether the owner had a prior warning that the dog could inflict harm.

These are just a few of the possible accidents that can result in serious personal injuries. If you or a loved one is suffering because of someone else’s negligence, contact a Southchase personal injury lawyer at The Dickstein Law Firm at 1-888-352-4878 for a free consultation.
