Dangerous conditions in stores, parking lots, and office buildings injured many thousands more people. Others suffered disabling injuries at work or from defective and dangerous products and medicines.

Personal Injury Law in Fort Lauderdale
If you or a loved one have suffered a personal injury that occurred because of the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity, you already know how much a significant injury and the resulting pain and disability impact your life.
Most people who want to focus only on recovering and adapting to changed life circumstances are unable to deal with insurance companies or corporations that prioritize their interests over theirs. That’s where the experienced team of injury lawyers at Steinger, Greene & Feiner can help.
Florida law generally requires that a case of negligence show that another person or business had a duty to the injured person — or the public in general — to act with reasonable care to avoid causing injuries. If that legal duty is breached and the negligent act causes injuries, an injured person is entitled to show the damages they are legally entitled to recover. Other types of injury cases involve damages resulting from intentional, reckless, or criminal acts or selling or marketing defective products.
