How Will A Personal Injury Lawyer Help My Case

When you or a loved one is injured, your first priority should be to seek medical care and focus on your recovery. The claims process can be frustrating and could cause the added stress of dealing with property damage, gathering your medical records, and lost wages.

At Frankl Kominsky, our legal team will help relieve your stress by starting a claim for property damage, setting up a car rental, gathering medical records, and requesting police reports to build a strong claim against the at-fault party.

When one is injured in an accident, the at-fault party's insurance company will reach out for a recorded statement to lessen the value of your claim or may offer a quick and easy settlement without offering to cover medical treatment, lost wages, or property damage.

It’s important to note that shortly after a claim for property damage has been opened, the responsible parties insurance company will contact you for a recorded statement. The insurance company could even extend a quick and easy settlement to avoid paying for your medical treatment and lost wages.

After investigating your claim and building a strong case on your behalf, we file an insurance claim against the at-fault party. Depending on the type of claim, we could file against one of the following -

  • Car or Auto insurance;
  • Homeowner’s insurance;
  • Business liability insurance; or
  • Any policy, for instance, one that covers an all-terrain vehicle or a boat or watercraft

Once the claim has been filed, we present evidence and begin to negotiate a fair settlement for your injuries and damages.

Take Legal Action to Protect Your Rights

Whether you’ve been harmed by a highway accident, a slip and fall, or a malfunctioning product, you may be able to file a negligence lawsuit against the person or company responsible. Negligence simply means that someone is not behaving as responsibly as they should in a certain situation. The elements that a victim must show to succeed in this type of lawsuit are:

The defendant had a duty of care to act as the typical person would act in the same or similar circumstances;

  • The defendant violated this obligation;
  • The violation resulted in an injury to the victim that would not have happened otherwise; and
  • Actual damages arose from the injury.

An example of a situation that could lead to a negligence lawsuit is a store owner who fails to clean up spilled food that later causes a customer to slip and fall. If the owner puts a sign around the spill warning visitors of the dangerous condition, however, there may be less or no liability if someone is injured in the area. This is because the store already warned visitors of the risk, which became open and obvious.

Florida follows the comparative negligence rule, which means that a victim’s compensation award may be reduced by the proportion of his or her own fault. For example, if an injured person was 20 percent liable for the accident, he or she will be entitled to no more than 80 percent of the damages arising from it. In a comparative negligence system, more than one person may be partly responsible for a car crash or a slip and fall accident. If this is the case, and more than one insurance company is involved, things can quickly become complex. If you’ve been involved in an accident where your contribution may be in question, you should not hesitate to consult an attorney who understands the nuances of the law.
