Holiday Personal Injury Attorney

Personal injury victims have important rights under Florida law to compensation following an accident. However, few victims can realistically handle their own claims, even if they wanted to. Painful injuries require dedication and focus to heal, while the legal side of negotiating a claim is exhausting. Contact an experienced Holiday personal injury attorney at Wendy Doyle-Palumbo, P.A. Our law firm can negotiate a settlement for anyone hurt in common accidents in and around our community.

Proving You Have a Valid Case

Getting injured does not automatically give you a right to demand compensation. After all, you could have injured yourself due to your own carelessness.

Instead, we need to prove someone is liable for your injuries. We can handle some of the most common accidents including:

Sometimes we need to show the defendant acted negligently. That is true of most motor vehicle collisions. We can find evidence the driver who struck you was on their phone, distracted, fatigued, or chemically impaired. Other drivers are simply impatient or aggressive and can tailgate or take some other dangerous maneuver.

Let us review the law to identify what evidence is most helpful. You can help your case by contacting our office to schedule a consultation. We will follow up with witnesses and begin the negotiation process.

Compensation for Bodily Injuries

Our personal injury clients usually struggle with some of the most consequential injuries, including broken bones, sprains, burns, nerve damage, concussions, or back injuries. What can you receive?

We first negotiate economic damages, including the full cost of your medical care. If you can’t work, we also request lost wages or income, including any side hustle or gig income.

We also can request compensation for damaged property, such as a damaged car or motorcycle. The cost of motor vehicle repairs has skyrocketed recently, and a negligent driver should fix your vehicle if they were to blame.

We also negotiate compensation for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. Bodily injuries cause immense suffering, with people unable to sleep or enjoy time with friends and family. The defendant should pay something for this pain.

Some factors will reduce a possible settlement, such as the defendant’s lack of resources. But comparative negligence is a big consideration. If you are partially at fault—less than 50%–then your settlement is reduced. And under changes to the law (in 2023), anyone who is more than 50% liable will receive nothing.
