Personal Injury Cases
Our practice is focused on representing injured people in Boca Raton and other Florida communities. We handle a range of injury matters, including:
- Auto accidents: In the most recent year for which the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics are available, 32,719 people died in 30,057 fatal crashes, and 2,313,000 people were injured on America’s roadways.
- Motorcycle accidents: Motorcyclists accounted for 4,668 of the nation’s fatalities in a recent year and for 88,000 injuries, according to NHTSA statistics. Of the motorcycle riders who died in those accidents, 1,854 were not wearing helmets.
- Bicycle accidents: Bicyclists lack the protection that passenger vehicles provide, and they are vulnerable to serious injuries in a collision with a motor vehicle. Helmets can reduce the risk of head and brain injuries in a bicycle crash.
- Trucking accidents: As reported on Florida’s Integrated Report Exchange System (FIRES), 34,433 commercial vehicles were involved in collisions in Florida in 2014. When a fully-loaded, 80,000 lb commercial truck collides with a 3,000 lb passenger vehicle, the occupants of the passenger vehicle face the risk of serious or fatal injuries.
- Workers’ compensation: The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) states that nearly 3 million nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by private industry employers in 2014. Nonfatal on-the-job injuries occurred at the rate of 3.2 injuries per 100 full-time workers.
- Premises liability: Premises liability claims can arise from a number of circumstances in which property owners have failed to maintain their property reasonably free of hazards, or to provide adequate warning of the danger. Examples of premises liability accidents include slip and fall accidents, assault due to lack of security, staircase accidents, and electrocutions.
- Nursing home abuse: The National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) reports on the high amount of incidents of abuse in nursing homes. According to the NCEA, a survey of Certified Nursing Assistants revealed that 51% had yelled at a nursing home resident, 23% had insulted or sworn at a resident, and 17% had shoved, pushed, or grabbed a resident.
- Wrongful death: Although no amount of money can ever compensate you for the loss of a loved one, if you are a surviving family member of the deceased, you may be entitled to hold responsible parties accountable and seek justice for your loved one in a wrongful death claim.
