Personal Injury Law

Personal Injury

A personal injury can be a devastating event physically, emotionally, and financially. By contacting an attorney at Donet, McMillan & Trontz, a personal injury victim can find out if they are qualified to collect compensation for the injury and damages they’ve sustained through a personal injury settlement. It is always wise to confer with a personal injury lawyer as soon as the injury occurs to find out the legal rights and options available and to make sure the individual's rights are protected.

Who Is Responsible For the Personal Injury?

More than one person can be held liable for the personal injuries sustained, and forced to share in the responsibility of a full personal injury settlement. A number of insurance policies may provide coverage that can jointly contribute to the settlement amount. In order to completely understand what actions can be taken, it is essential to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as the injury happens.

What Does Florida Law Recognize as Personal Injury Damages?

Personal injuries can occur in a wide range of accidents. However, most personal injuries are attributed to motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, and sports injuries. A great many personal injury cases unfortunately result from car crashes.

When this occurs it is not just the hospital and doctor bills that can be a burden but the loss of salary, benefits, and normal life activities. Both the injured person as well as their loved ones may have compensable damages under Florida law. Pain, suffering, and mental anguish are also factored into personal injury settlements.
