How Our Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You

When you retain the services of Phillips | Tadros, P.A., a Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer can help you pursue fair compensation by:

• Explaining your rights and determining the potential value of your injury claim.
• Identifying all possible sources of compensation.
• Investigating the incident to determine who might be liable and gather valuable evidence to support your claim.
• Communicating with insurers and other parties on your behalf.
• Obtaining medical records, incident reports, and other essential documentation.
• Interviewing witnesses who saw the accident occur.
• Working with expert witnesses, such as medical experts and accident reconstruction specialists, who can offer professional testimony for your case.
• Managing essential case documents, details, and deadlines on your behalf.
• Filing claims paperwork and negotiating aggressively to maximize your settlement.
• Taking your case to court and representing you at trial if the insurance company refuses to agree to a reasonable settlement.

Could I Still Have a Case Even If I Was Partly to Blame for My Injuries?

Yes, you may still be entitled to compensation even if you are partly to blame for the accident that caused your injuries.

Per Florida Statutes § 768.81, plaintiffs may still seek compensation if they contributed to their injuries, even if they share most of the blame. However, the courts can reduce the amount of money a plaintiff recovers from a personal injury claim based on the plaintiff’s percentage of fault. For instance, a plaintiff seeking $100,000 who is found to be 20 percent to blame for an accident can receive up to $80,000.

Because the amount of compensation you can receive is impacted by who is at fault, it is always best to work with a personal injury attorney to prove the other party is to blame and maximize your compensation.

Common Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

The experienced lawyers at Phillips ǀ Tadros, P.A., handle various types of personal injury cases in Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and Southeastern Florida, including:

• Car Accidents – Florida ranks third in the nation for the number of registered automobiles and has some of America’s deadliest highways. It’s no surprise that many traffic accidents occur on Florida’s dense, congested roads.
• Rideshare Accidents – Many people choose rideshare services like Uber and Lyft as safe and convenient alternatives to walking, biking, or using designated drivers. However, studies suggest these services are not as safe as they seem, as using a rideshare service may increase a person’s risk of being injured in an accident.
• Truck Accidents – Thousands of large commercial trucks travel daily along Interstate 95 and other major Florida highways. Motorists that share the road with these 80,000-pound vehicles are often at risk of truck accidents that could cause catastrophic injuries.
• Motorcycle Accidents – Florida ranks second in the United States for the number of registered motorcycles, and it’s not uncommon to see motorcyclists on Florida highways. However, motorists often fail to notice motorcyclists until it’s too late to avoid collisions. Further, motorcyclists are highly vulnerable to severe or life-threatening injuries when involved in traffic wrecks because they have little protection compared to other motorists.
• Bicycle Accidents – Many bicycle accidents occur when motorists fail to pay attention or yield the right-of-way to cyclists, who have little to protect them against injuries from the blunt-force impact of the crash aside from their helmets.
• Pedestrian Accidents – Pedestrians are among the most vulnerable road users, with no seatbelts, airbags, or helmets to shield them from the worst of a crash. Many pedestrian accidents result in life-changing or even fatal injuries.
• Distracted Driving Accidents – Driver distraction and inattention are among the top contributing factors in traffic accidents throughout the U.S., and Florida is no exception. When drivers are texting, talking on a cell phone, eating, drinking, or otherwise distracted, they are less likely to see imminent traffic hazards and stop in time to avoid accidents.
• Hit-and-Run Accidents – Under the law, Florida drivers must stop and remain at the scene any time they are involved in traffic accidents. But some motorists choose to flee, leaving crash victims to seek help alone.
• Workplace Accidents – Many Florida workers suffer preventable work injuries yearly. Fortunately, injured workers are eligible for medical and wage replacement benefits through Florida’s workers’ compensation system.
• Slip-and-Fall Accidents – Slips, trips, and falls often cause severe injuries, especially among older adults or when falls occur from heights. Falls are also common in the workplace.
• Premises Liability Injury Cases – When property owners, managers, or occupants fail to keep their premises safe and secure for visitors, those who suffer preventable injuries may have grounds for premises liability claims.
• Dog Bite Injury Cases – If a pet owner fails to keep their dog securely confined or restrained, the owner may be strictly liable for any bites or attack injuries the dog inflicts, regardless of the dog’s prior behavior.
• Burn Injury Cases – Severe burns are some of the most devastating injuries from accidents. Extensive burns can result in permanent scarring and disfigurement, preventing victims from working, socializing, or living independently.
• Traumatic Brain Injury Cases – A severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in permanent brain damage, changes in personality, difficulties with cognitive functioning, and other long-term or fatal health complications.
• Spinal Cord Injury Cases – The spinal cord carries signals from the nervous system throughout the body. When it is damaged, patients can experience a partial or complete loss of function and sensation below the location of the injury.
• Wrongful Death Cases – In the most tragic cases, injury victims do not recover. When this occurs, surviving family members might have grounds to file wrongful death claims seeking compensation for their loved one’s death.

No matter how serious or complex your injury case might be, a Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer at Phillips | Tadros, P.A., can help in your matter.
