At Morgan & Morgan's Tallahassee personal injury attorneys handle a variety of injury cases, including:
Why File a Lawsuit?
By filing a lawsuit, you are given a chance to recover compensation for
losses that were only incurred because another individual or entity
acted negligently or carelessly. While taking legal action may not be
your first priority following an accident, an attorney can help examine
the cost of your current and future losses and file a claim seeking this
amount from the party responsible for your injury. In a personal injury
claim, your attorney may seek compensation for the following:
- Current and future medical expenses, including the cost of physical
therapy, surgeries and home modifications
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of life’s enjoyment
- Loss of companionship, comfort, affection, etc.
In cases of wrongful death, your attorney may be able to recover
compensation for funeral expenses, loss of household services and loss
of projected earnings.
The purpose of monetary damages is to restore the victim financially,
emotionally, and physically. While a personal injury lawsuit cannot heal
an injury or bring a loved one back, it can provide financial stability
during a difficult time.
In addition, by taking legal action, you can
hold the party responsible for their actions or failure to act and, in
rare cases, may be entitled to punitive damages, which are awarded to
discourage similar conduct among others.
Can I Sue for My Injuries?
It is important to remember that not all injury victims will be able to
file a claim for their losses. A number of factors, including the cause
of your accident and the severity of your injury, will be considered in
determining whether you have legal recourse.
Only a qualified attorney in Tallahassee will be able to determine whether you are eligible for a personal injury lawsuit; however, Florida accident victims should be aware that the majority of personal injury cases are based on the theory of negligence.
When a person or entity fails to exercise a certain level of care to
protect others against the risk of unreasonable harm, they may be deemed
negligent and could be held liable for any resulting damages should an
accident occur.
For instance, a doctor who fails to order a certain
diagnostic test that another physician in a similar situation would have
ordered may be liable for any damages if a patient is injured due to a
missed diagnosis. In another example, a driver may be considered
negligent if he or she violates Florida law by speeding or driving under
the influence and causes an accident.
