Holding the Responsible Party Accountable

Back and spine injuries often happen in accidents caused by negligence, and when that’s the cause of your pain and suffering, you have the right to go after compensation. Whatever and whoever contributed to your accident, we’ll investigate your case to figure out who’s responsible and hold them accountable.

What Compensation Can You Recover?

When you file a personal injury claim, you may be able to recover compensation for:

• Medical Expenses: Hospital stays, surgeries, therapy, rehab, medications, future care
• Lost Wages: For work you missed while recovering from your injury
• Loss of Earning Capacity: Long-term or permanent disability that prevents you from returning to work at all or in the same capacity
• Pain and Suffering: Physical pain and emotional distress
• Property Damage: Repairs or replacement of your car and any personal property lost or destroyed in the accident.

We’ll work with medical professionals and financial experts to calculate the full impact of your injury and help you go after the highest payout possible.

The Legal Process for a Back and Spine Injury Claim

Investigate Your Case

After you’ve decided to work with us, we’ll start by gathering all of the facts. That includes going over your medical records, accident reports, and witness statements. The stronger the evidence, the better your chances are of securing fair compensation.

Negotiate With the Insurance Company

Insurance companies rarely have your best interests at heart. Their goal is to pay out as little as possible to claimants — or, ideally, find a way to deny a claim completely. They use several tactics to do this, such as shifting blame onto you or saying your injury isn’t as bad as you say it is. We won’t let that happen. We’ll negotiate aggressively to make sure you get what you deserve.

Take Your Case to Court (if Necessary)

Most injury cases settle before they make it to the courtroom, but if insurance refuses to make a fair offer, we’re prepared to take your case to trial. We’ll present the strongest possible argument to a judge and jury to get you the best possible outcome.

Don’t settle for less than you deserve. The right legal team can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.

Frequently Asked Questions

When you’re dealing with a back or spine injury, you probably have a lot of questions about what comes next. Here are some of the more common ones that we hear.

How long do I have to file a claim for a back or spine injury?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is usually two years from the day of the accident. However, some cases involve exceptions that could lengthen or shorten that time, so it’s best to talk to an attorney as soon as you can.

What if I did something to contribute to my injury?

Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, so you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced based on your level of liability.

How much is my claim worth?

The value of your claim will depend on several factors. The severity of your injury, the costs of your hospital bills and lost wages, and the impact on your mental health all affect the final amount. We’ll determine the full scope of your losses and make sure you go after everything you’re entitled to.

What should I do after a back or spine injury?

Your health is the top priority, so seek medical treatment immediately. Follow your doctor’s instructions, and keep all records related to your injury. Contact a lawyer as soon as possible to go over your legal options.

If you have any other questions about your case, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help you understand your rights and the process involved with your personal injury claim.
