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.

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.

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

- A property owner who allowed dangerous conditions to occur without warning visitors
- A homeowner who failed to secure a swimming pool to prevent drowning

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.

Justin A. Took great care of me during this process. My accident was April 1 and it is now July 5 and … More we have come to a resolution. On top of that he made sure I had the best of care from the recommended specialist he sent me to. Unfortunately, I had to get surgery due to injuries sustained from the accident but I was well taken care of, everyone he sent me to provided 5star service. If you live in the treasure coast you need to have his number on speed dial for any unforeseen injury related accidents, trust me you won’t be let down. The information provided to you is made clear and he is ALWYAS available for any and all questions. He continued to check on me after surgery making sure I was recovering properly and I appreciate that. Hopefully, I have no future accidents but I’ll know who I can trust. Thank you Justin, for everything!!
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
