How Do I Know If I Have a Personal Injury Claim?

If you are considering a personal injury lawsuit, there are three main questions that you have to ask.

Am I injured? It might seem basic, but the existence of a documentable personal injury is crucial to making a personal injury claim. Injuries can be physical, mental, or both. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand the full dimensions of your injury and document injuries that can be hard to prove, such as mild TBI.

Why Do You Need a Medical Malpractice Attorney?

If you suspect that you or a loved one has been hurt by medical malpractice, you may be considering a medical malpractice lawsuit. If so, then you should consult with a skilled medical malpractice attorney to help you have any chance of succeeding in your lawsuit. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why doctors have advantages in the courtroom when it comes to medical malpractice, such as:

What Constitutes Identity Theft?

Identity theft is the use of another person's identifying information, such as name, social security number, credit card numbers, or other information, to commit fraud. The Federal Trade Commission identifies the most common types of fraud committed using identity theft:

Teens and Car Accidents

The good news is that the number of teenagers killed in car accidents in Florida has decreased dramatically, dropping from 414 in 2005 to 222 in 2009. In just four short years, the number of teen traffic fatalities has been cut in half in the state.

When there is a child injury at school who is liable?

Was your child hurt at school? If so, you may wonder if the school is liable for the personal injury and might therefore have to pay for your child’s medical bills. The answer depends on many different factors, and, unfortunately, is often not the one you want to hear.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Brain Injury

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is an ongoing psychological response to the experience of stress. It may be characterized by anything from bad dreams to major behavioral changes to severe depression to violence against oneself and others. Now a new study published by researchers from the University of California Los Angeles suggests that traumatic brain injury can make a person more likely to suffer from PTSD.

How Will a Criminal Conviction Affect My Immigration Status?

If you are in the United States on any type of visa, you know that your status is delicate. You may not know, however, that a criminal conviction can upset that status, resulting in your deportation or detention. If you are an immigrant facing a criminal charge in Florida, it is crucial that you work with a criminal defense attorney experienced in handling criminal defense for immigrants.

What if I’ve been accused of Sexual Battery?

The most important fact to remember after being accused of sexual battery or any other sex crime is that an accusation is not a conviction. The unfortunate truth is that it may seem like a conviction once accusations hit the paper or the grapevine, but remember that you are still innocent until proven guilty. If you begin to think of yourself as guilty, you may not take the appropriate actions to prove your innocence.

What If the Driver That Caused My Accident Had No Insurance?

One of the advantages of Florida’s insurance laws is the existence of personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. Your insurance is intended to cover you in the event of a car accident. So for most accidents, even those resulting in personal injury, it doesn’t matter whether the other driver was insured or not—your insurance covers you. The minimum legal coverage is $10,000 and automatically covers 80% of your reasonable medical expenses and 60% of lost wages.

Workers’ Comp: Nerve Damage

Workers’ Compensation, or workers’ comp for short, is a system that allows workers to receive partial wages after suffering a work-related injury. There are many different injuries that are common in the workplace, but one of the potentially most crippling is nerve damage.

Nerves are an essential part of your body—they carry signals from your brain to your muscles and sensory information back from your body to the brain. When nerves are damaged, the result can be:
