What is “Personal Injury”?

The field of personal injury involves many types of accidents and injuries. The one thing they all have in common is that someone is injured because of the acts or negligence of another, whether it is a person, businesses or product. When the injury occurs through the fault of another, the person injured may be entitled to monetary compensation. The Legal Solutions Group provides strong, aggressive counseling and representation to personal injury clients. Only through skillful lawyering and a strong courtroom presence can you obtain fair compensation for personal injury damages. We are available for a free consultation by contacting our office or calling 305-503-2808.

While it is important to remember that all cases are subject to statutes of limitation, taking care of the injured person and their family along with their future is the primary purpose for considering litigation.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

“Personal injury cases” covers many kinds of injuries. Some examples of personal injury attorney cases include: Wrongful Death, Catastrophic Injuries, Spinal Cord Injuries, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Car and Truck Crashes, Motorcycle Accidents, Scooter & Moped Accidents, ATV Accidents, Bicycle Accidents, Aviation and Plane Crash Disasters, Commercial Litigation, Resort Torts (resort injuries), Hotel and Motel Accidents, Cruise Ship injuries, Negligent Security, Sexual Abuse and Assault, Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect, Automobile Defects, Surgical Negligence, Medical Malpractice, Hospital Negligence, Legal Malpractice and Defective Products.

Negligent security cases involve someone who has been injured due to a violent or sexual crime. The case may be brought against the owner or manager of the premises or business where the crime took place as well as the criminal. Those who are in control of a property or location are most often defendants in cases like these. A business is in a much better position to know of the dangers of a particular property than the customer or visitor. They are also in a better position to take reasonable steps to prevent the crime and protect people.

The field of negligent premises security includes recovery for injuries caused by criminal assaults, rapes, sexual assaults, robberies and attacks due to inadequate premises security, inadequate lighting, improper premises or building design, and other inadequate conditions in commercial and residential premises. These frequently occur at hotels and motels, malls, shopping centers, restaurants, apartment complexes, schools, stores, amusement parks, parking garages, gas stations/mini marts, resorts, airports, churches and office buildings.

Medical malpractice involves medical mistakes by a health care provider, whether it is a doctor, hospital, nurse, dentist, medical/dental office or staff. When these professionals make a mistake that causes injury to a patient, this is what is commonly known as medical malpractice. This is exactly the time to contact an experienced Miami medical malpractice attorney.

How big is the problem of medical malpractice in America?

Recent studies have found that as many as 440,000 people are killed each year because of preventable medical errors in the United States.

In a 2005 study of 39 million patient records, 241,280 deaths during Medicare hospitalizations were attributable to one or more common preventable medical errors. Interestingly, only 1 out of 10 medical mistakes end up being brought as a malpractice case.

What should I do if I was a victim of medical malpractice?

Well, if you’re based in Miami, you should definitely contact our law firm as a leader in the Miami medical malpractice attorney firms space. Together, we will help you better understand your rights and needs and provide a comfortable environment to move forward.

What kind of medical malpractice damages can you recover?

It really is different with every case, but depending on the injuries you suffered as a result of a medical negligence or malpractice event, you may be entitled to economic, non-economic and punitive damages.

Cruise Ship Accident Lawyers

Boating and cruise ship accidents occur frequently, especially in Florida. Florida is where most cruise ship accident cases must be brought because of the contract that is a part of almost every cruise ship ticket for passage.

Cruise Ship Accidents Lawyers – Things to know

Our cruise ship accident lawyers can help families who have lost loved ones from a boat crash or help recover substantial damages for people hurt while boating in Florida.

Cruise ships are not merely large boats, they are virtual floating cities. These maritime hotels, however, often lack fundamental safety policies, protocols, and procedures to protect passengers from harm..

We have obtained numerous substantial recoveries against cruise lines on behalf of cruise ship passengers for slips and falls, cruise staff misconduct, on board sexual assaults and shore excursion injuries.

We continue to aggressively litigate cases against the cruise lines, most of which require that suit be brought in Fort Lauderdale, Florida pursuant to the contract between the passenger and cruise line in the ticket for passage.

You must act quickly to preserve your rights if you have been injured aboard a cruise ship or on a shore excursion while on a cruise. Time is of the essence as the statute of limitations for boating accidents is very narrow.

Travel, Vacation and Theme Park Injury Lawyers

With 82 million visitors each year, Florida is a tourist haven.
Resort Torts are personal injury cases for negligent or criminal acts that occur in a resort, vacation, travel or recreational setting. These may involve aspects of hotel and motel safety, cruise ship litigation, pleasure boating and jet ski incidents, amusement park and theme park liability, aquatic, diving and swimming incidents, foreign travel and medical emergencies, gaming and casinos, aviation, rental car liability, moped, bicycle and motorcycle safety, buses and tour guides, travel industry liability for crime victims, and medical care provided to vacationers.

Resort Torts can encompass a vast array of types of cases, but they all have one thing in common: tourists, business travelers and locals alike are all exposed to risk while traveling, vacationing or engaging in resort or pleasure activities.

Because Florida is a resort destination, and due in large part to our year-round climate that encourages resort activities, these injuries occur with great frequency here. It takes aggressive, skilled lawyers to overcome some of the hurdles thrown in the paths of victims.

We continue to work hard to be the very best cruise ship and vacation accident lawyers in Miami, with an emphasis on obtaining the very highest recoveries in these cases.

While employees should be valued as assets—sharing common values with its employers’ brand and representing its interests to customers—sometimes work relationships turn into negative situations.

Before parties find themselves in a troublesome situation, its best to plan ahead and establish corporate guidelines ensuring agreements are drafted by an experienced business lawyer and signed to protect both the employee and employer. The goal should always be to reduce exposure and risk by being proactive.

Business can protect themselves and their employees by having employment contracts and corporate policies, including:

• Employment Agreements
