Bradenton Injury Law Firm FAQs

Why Should I Work With An Attorney?

Thousands of accidents happen in Florida each year, each one with the injured party making an insurance claim of some sort. The insurance industry will do what they can to minimize, delay or even deny fair compensation needed to fully recover. Often they will move to take advantage of your situation, especially if you have been severely injured and must rely on others to make decisions.

The longterm effects of being injured in an accident can be difficult to fully understand, and as a result an insurance company will frequently offer a smaller amount quickly before the full gravity of the long-term problems facing the injured victim has been realized.

Our attorneys have been helping people in Bradenton and throughout Florida, in part by fully calculating the cost your injury will have. We work with professional life-time care planners who can calculate your long-term financial needs taking into consideration all aspects affected, from the lost wages, reduced income, medical bills, ongoing physical therapy and more.

In many case it will not be necessary to take a case to trial, this is in no small part because the insurance industry is very aware of which law firms can and will take a case in front of a jury and as such they will be reluctant to have their case presented and decided by a jury.

However in some instances it may become necessary to do so. Our attorneys have years of experience in Florida's court rooms, and have won millions of dollars for our clients every year.

Auto Accidents

Automobile accidents occur daily on Florida roads, and Bradenton’s large population means that a huge number of them happen here. If you’re involved in an accident on the road that wasn’t caused by you, and you’re facing a financial burden because of it, you shouldn’t hesitate to contact our legal team. Proving that another motorist was to blame for your accident is the primary focus of an auto accident case, and there are also numerous factors that go into determining what kind of compensation amount you really deserve. Speaking with an attorney is the best way to move forwards with your case.

Personal Injury

If you’re injured in an accident in Bradenton that wasn’t your fault, you may be able to seek financial compensation for your injuries. Personal injury law can involve a wide range of accidents and injuries, including things like slip and fall cases, auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, and more. The key is being able to show that the other party acted in a reckless or negligent manner. Don’t accept an early cash settlement offer – you may be given a lower amount than you’re really entitled to. Let our team help guide you through this process and help you get the compensation you deserve.

Motorcycle Accidents

Bradenton has plenty of motorcyclists on the roads, and when they’re involved in an accident it can be incredibly serious. The very nature of motorcycles mean that many injuries involve head or spine trauma, broken bones, and even death. If you’re involved in a motorcycle accident that was caused by someone else, you should be able to seek the compensation that you deserve. Motorcycle accident law cases are handled similarly to auto accident law cases, but the big difference lies in the additional complexities and the often much more serious injuries. No matter the situation, our legal team is here to help you.

Truck Accidents

Trucking accidents can be among the most serious any motorist can be involved in, and thousands of trucks are on the Bradenton roads every day. If you’re involved in a truck accident, a number of factors will come into play beyond just the extent of your injuries. Trucking companies spend millions on lawyers and insurance companies to help protect themselves, especially when their own actions led to the accident. That’s why you need an attorney on your side who will stand up to the trucking companies and get you the compensation that you’re owed. Our team is ready to fight for you.

Slip And Fall

Bradenton is home to a diverse population, and at any time one of them could be involved in a slip or fall that leaves them injured. Whether it’s broken bones, head trauma, or some other injury, these accidents can cause significant pain and hardship. And while much of that pain is physical, the financial impact can’t be ignored as well. Recovering from a slip and fall injury fully means being able to move on without a financial burden. You’ll have to prove that the property owner was negligent, and that their negligence led to your injuries if you want to receive compensation. We can help.

Dog Bites

When most people think of personal injury law, they think of auto accidents or falls. But in Bradenton, dog bites are a very real issue as well. Throughout Florida, more than 600 people are sent to the hospital each year because of dog bites. And if you’re bitten by a dog whose owner failed to take proper steps to control or secure, or if you weren’t warned of its aggression, you could be able to seek compensation for your injuries and avoid the financial burden that can come with high medical bills and lost time from work due to a bite.

Wrongful Death

When a loved one passes away because of the actions of someone else, it can lead to not just sorrow, but anger. And their loss will be felt in many ways beyond the emotional. For many, picking up the pieces and moving on is even harder due to the financial strain that losing a loved one can bring. A wrongful death lawsuit makes it possible to seek financial compensation for your loss and receive some assistance in moving on. It can never bring back your loved one, but it can make it possible to escape financial burdens and live your life the way they would hope you could.
