Every year, far too many people in the U.S. are injured in preventable accidents. Individuals who drink and drive cause devastating car crashes. Hospital patients suffer when careless nurses give them the wrong medication. Children are bitten when dog owners recklessly let their pets roam without a leash. The injuries that come from these and similar accidents can seriously impact someone’s life. Not only do victims have to cope with the pain and suffering of the incident itself, but they are forced to live with the aftermath.

WHO IS LIABLE FOR MY ACCIDENT?
Personal injury cases are highly circumstantial and warrant a detailed discussion with an experienced attorney. However, a general rule for determining who is at fault for a personal injury accident is to investigate the actions of the individuals involved and determine if someone behaved in a reckless or negligent manner. Drivers, medical practitioners, property owners, truck drivers, bicyclist, manufacturer, pharmaceutical companies, and other parties may be held liable if their negligence caused you harm. To learn more about your rights and the actions you may take if you have been harmed by the careless actions of another person or party, contact us at (561) 689-8180 to speak with an experienced attorney today.

Injuries impact a startling number of people every day.
Every year, millions of people in the United States seek medical treatment for nonfatal preventable injuries. In 2021, 62 million people – or about one in five – were treated for such injuries, according to the National Safety Council. Preventable injury is consistently the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S. and the leading cause of death for those in the prime of their lives, from childhood through middle age. Preventable injuries caused approximately 225,000 deaths in the U.S. in 2021. Men are more likely to die from preventable injuries, accounting for 67 percent of preventable injury-related deaths that year. While there are various reasons these injuries happen, a surprising number are due to the negligence or carelessness of individuals and corporations. The law mandates that people behave responsibly to keep others safe. For instance, drivers must obey traffic laws and be careful behind the wheel, property owners must keep their premises free of hazards, and corporations must design and manufacture products that meet safety standards. When these parties fail in their obligations, they can cause significant harm to those around them. In Florida, the most common preventable injury-related deaths are caused by poisoning, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and choking. Poisoning is the leading cause of preventable injury-related deaths in 41 states, including Florida, and Washington, D.C., while motor vehicle accidents are the second-leading cause in 20 states, including Florida. These deaths are all too common, and many could be prevented by exercising reasonable care and behaving responsibly to keep others safe.
Injuries and the Law
When a person or group directly or indirectly causes an injury, the responsible party should financially compensate the victims. This basic concept, rooted in fairness and justice, is the foundation for personal injury law. Civil law, including personal injury law, is distinct from criminal law. In criminal law, the government brings charges against a defendant accusing them of committing a particular crime. A criminal case may end with punitive measures for the defendant such as jail time or heavy fines. On the other hand, civil law involves private citizens or groups asking for damages from the party responsible for causing an injury. The defendant in a civil law case would not go to jail, but might be required to pay financial compensation to the victim or victims.
Personal injury cases often rely on the concept of “negligence” to determine whether or not someone could be held responsible for another party’s injuries. For example, many people would assume a doctor who misdiagnoses a patient would not be liable for any resulting injuries. However, the doctor may be guilty of some form of negligence, especially if the medical professional lacked the skills necessary to properly tend to the patient, if they were unfocused during the examination, or if they made a careless error. According to the principle of negligence, someone does not have to intend to harm you in order to be held responsible for your injuries. If you were seriously hurt by someone’s carelessness or recklessness, you can still seek financial compensation from them

If you or someone close to you has been injured by someone else’s negligence, you need to seek immediate legal counsel. The law stipulates that you only have a set amount of time to pursue a civil case against the party responsible for your injury. In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is four years after the accident. Additionally, it is best to speak to a lawyer sooner rather than later so that they can gather the evidence necessary to build a strong case.
