Injuries Resulting From Negligence

There are a considerable number of ways a personal injury can occur. Perhaps the most common cause is traffic accidents. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety, an average of 1,025 accidents occurred every day throughout the state. Many more accidents happen due to other reasons every day.

Through hard work and diligence, we have recovered over $1 billion for our clients. Many of our outstanding settlements and verdicts for our clients have resulted in multimillion-dollar awards. Each case is unique, with its own set of facts, circumstances, and legal issues, but we approach them all with the determined goal to get our clients the full compensation they deserve. That compensation may include medical expenses, lost income or wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and more.

These incidents exact an enormous toll on victims, their families, and the state. Whether you were hurt by a traffic accident or experienced some other type of personal injury, there should never be a question about recovering the financial resources you need to deal with medical expenses, lost income or wages, vehicle property damage, pain and suffering, or the emotional and financial repercussions of a family member who has been killed. Call our personal injury attorneys in Port St. Lucie, today at (772) 200-4696 for a free consultation.

What Are the Costs of Unintentional Injuries?

The National Safety Council has provided estimates on the average economic cost of injuries. The average comprehensive cost including lost quality of life totals:

  • $4,538,000 for death due to motor vehicle crashes
  • $230,000 per incapacitating injury in motor vehicle accidents
  • $58,700 per non-incapacitating evident injury from motor vehicle accidents
  • $28,000 per possible injury from motor vehicle collisions
  • $4,700,000 from public non-motor vehicle injuries resulting in death

Because every case is different, you may sustain more or less costs than these average estimates. It is important for an experienced attorney to help you understand the full extent of losses before you agree to settle an injury claim.

How Can You Get Costs Covered After a Personal Injury?

Most individuals and families cannot cover the cost of injuries out-of-pocket. Not only do you have medical expenses but you may also have time missed from work, a loss of future earning potential and the loss of a loved one’s income he or she would have earned over a lifetime.

Your family could face significant financial hardship after an accident if you do not take advantage of the protections afforded by Florida law. Florida law says that you are entitled to be compensated by a person or a company who was responsible for causing your injury. Damages in a personal injury lawsuit or a personal injury settlement should cover:

  • All medical expenses including future treatment you will need
  • Loss of income including any ongoing reduction in earning potential
  • Pain and suffering compensation
  • Emotionsl distress compensation
  • Wrongful death damages including funeral costs, lost companionship and the loss of the financial contributions the deceased would have made if he or she had not been killed

A Steinger, Greene & Feiner litigator will help you pursue a claim to obtain the damages the law says you deserve. You can pursue a case in court, or negotiate a settlement with the help of an experienced attorney who can deal with the insurer on your behalf.

We handle the following cases in Port St. Lucie: 

When Can You Pursue a Claim for Injury Compensation in Port St. Lucie?

You can pursue a claim for compensation any time you suffered harm or a loved one was killed because of a person or company’s failure to live up to a legal duty. You could sue:

  • A property owner who allowed dangerous conditions to occur without warning visitors
  • A homeowner who failed to secure a swimming pool to prevent drowning
  • A canine owner whose dog caused injury or death due to a bite or attack
  • A motor vehicle driver, truck driver or trucking company responsible for causing a collision
  • The manufacturer of a defective or dangerous product including drugs and medical devices
  • A nursing home responsible for the abuse or neglect of a patient

These are just a few examples of situations in which a personal injury claim could be made to obtain compensation.

Proven Personal Injury Attorneys

A fair settlement is not what you can expect to receive from the insurance company. Their goal is to reduce payouts on claims so they can remain highly profitable. Our proven and committed legal team understands the tactics these companies regularly use to pay claimants as little as possible. We routinely battle their schemes in and out of court, and have developed effective methods for doing so.

With a legal team of more than 30 lawyers and more than 140 staff, including investigators and other assistants, we have the resources needed to get the job done efficiently. You can bring your personal injury case to us with confidence, knowing you will pay nothing until we recover the compensation you deserve. Throughout the entire case, we will be by your side, providing the guidance you need.

    Alfred Bell and Justin Alperstein are amazing. The insurance company gave a lowball offer after I broke my leg at a VRBO. They were able to get me an extremely fair settlement. You definitely want to have Mr Bell on y.our side. He knows … More what he’s doing. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

According to Florida’s car accident laws, you have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit, in most cases. This is known as the statute of limitations. Every Florida driver is required to carry personal injury protection insurance (PIP), which covers a percentage of your medical bills, lost income, and other out-of-pocket expenses after the accident. You may receive benefits from PIP regardless of who was at fault for the accident, but you may be eligible to also file a third-party insurance claim or lawsuit for expenses not covered by your PIP.

If you were partially at-fault for the accident, you may not be entitled to full compensation for your expenses because of Florida’s full comparative negligence fault rule. This rule states that the plaintiff’s compensation amount will be reduced by a percentage that equals their share of fault for the accident.

No lawyer can tell you exactly how much you will receive for your car accident injuries, but they can help you estimate the amount you can seek in your lawsuit. The amount of damages awarded to car accident victims may include past and future medical bills, past and future lost wages, car repair costs, and other expenses related to your injuries and property damage. The amount may also include a monetary value for any pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment in life you experienced.

For personal injury cases like car accidents, you pay no fees upfront to your lawyer. In fact, you only pay us if we get money for you through your settlement or jury-award through the courts.

Our car accident lawyers are dedicated to helping you recover every dollar you're entitled to, and we use our intimate knowledge of Miami’s courts to help win your case. Call us any time at (772) 200-4696 for your free, no-obligation consultation with our team today.
