Even minor injuries can result in lost wages, mounting medical costs, and increased stress in your personal life.

However, no matter what you choose to do, it is important to know your legal options moving forward. Here at Bogin, Munns & Munns, we have helped clients in the Orlando area fight to protect their right to compensation.

Understanding Negligence and Personal Injury Law

When it comes to knowing if you have a claim that you can file, you first need to understand how negligence works. Negligence is when another party fails to exercise their duty of care toward you and others around them. Duty of care is the responsibility everyone in society has to ensure they don’t take risky or unnecessary actions that can lead to harm.

If someone fails to uphold their duty of care, that makes them negligent and thus liable for whatever damages they cause. If your accident happened due to the negligence of another party, the law entitles you to file a claim against them.

Still, even if the law is on your side, that doesn’t mean you’re automatically guaranteed compensation. It’s notoriously difficult to fight for compensation on your own, especially against an insurance company that has a lot of legal resources. Therefore, it’s in your best interest to hire a personal injury lawyer that can assist you in winning the financial compensation for which you are entitled.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Our lawyers in Orlando can handle several types of personal injury cases. The following list includes some of the most common:

  • Automobile accidents: A negligent driver causes a motor vehicle accident that injures another driver or pedestrian. This can include auto accidents that involve cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, scooters, boats, and commercial vehicles.
  • Premises liability accidents: A premises owner knowingly allows a dangerous condition to persist. This can involve slip and fall accidents, swimming pool injuries, negligent security, etc.
  • Defective products: A product manufacturer knowingly releases a flawed or defective product that may harm the purchaser.
  • Workplace accidents: Including lack of training or safety standards, heavy machinery accidents, and long-term exposure to dangerous chemicals. Slip and fall accidents can also occur during work hours.
  • Medical malpractice cases: A doctor’s negligent actions fall below a reasonable standard of care and harm their patient.
  • Dog bites: According to OFCA § 767.04, Florida is a “strict liability” state, which means that dog owners are legally responsible and liable for any of the injuries caused if their dog bites or harms someone.

If you got injured in a situation where you believe that another party’s negligence was the cause, our Orlando personal injury lawyers will help you explore all of the legal options you have surrounding your case.

Common Injuries in Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury cases take many forms, and the injuries may vary significantly between victims. Accidents such as car crashes, heavy machinery malfunctions, medical malpractice, and more can all be considered personal injury cases. They all may carry a wholly unique set of injuries. However, even the simplest of accidents, such as a slip and fall accident on a wet bathroom floor, can cause just as much damage as an auto accident under the right circumstances.

Common injuries seen in personal injury cases include:

  • Whiplash, which is common in motor vehicle accidents
  • Broken bones
  • Bruising and lacerations
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord injuries (SCIs), which may result in paralysis or a loss of motor function
  • Lost limbs
  • Burns
  • Certain diseases, such as lung cancer from long-term exposure to toxic substances like asbestos or other chemical hazards
  • Mental illness from head injuries or overall trauma
  • And more

The individual who caused your accident does not even have to be directly responsible in a physical sense. Instead, their negligence may have put into motion a string of events that eventually caused your injuries to occur.

Determining their involvement may take research and time, which the Orlando personal injury lawyers at Bogin, Munns & Munns will be happy to do. Over the years, we have worked with clients with virtually every injury imaginable, so we know what you are going through and how to deal with pushback from insurance companies.

We will do everything in our power to gather the evidence necessary to reveal the truth, which includes obtaining medical documents, speaking to eyewitnesses, bringing on experts to recreate the accident scene, having forensic evidence examined, and more.

Types of Damages You Can Win a Settlement for

No matter how your accident took place, even if you are not sure who was truly responsible for your injuries, our team of attorneys will work to reveal the truth in a court of law. The compensation awarded in these cases can be for many types of loss, pain, suffering, and inconvenience, including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Motor vehicle repairs
  • Loss of wages or job
  • Mental anguish, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, strained relationships, loss of passions, depression, and more
  • Physical suffering, such as chronic pain, disfigurement, scarring, impaired movement, and paralysis
  • Wrongful death
  • Changes in quality of life
  • Medical costs, including hospital bills and medication
  • Future economic losses and medical expenses
  • Future anguish, pain, and stress

It’s essential that you calculate all of your damages accurately. If you and the insurance company settle for an amount that you later learn didn’t include all of the damages you sustained, that can lead to lots of issues down the line, and it may be impossible to get further compensation.

This is why we recommend you get help from one of our experienced lawyers. We can calculate all of the damages you sustained and ensure all of them get factored into your settlement so you can avoid a situation like this.

Never Settle for Less

Insurance companies will often claim that the injuries and damages you suffered aren’t worth that much. They may also tell you that hiring a lawyer isn’t worth it and that you should settle with them as soon as possible under their terms. While insurance companies may seem like they have your best interests at heart, the truth is that they don’t.

While there’s no accurate way to tell you how much your settlement is worth without first reviewing the details of your case, most insurance companies can severely undervalue how much your damages should actually be. So never settle for less and always fight to receive a fair settlement that covers your damages properly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Visit the ER, Urgent Care or your doctor as soon as possible.  Quite often injuries suffered in motor vehicle accidents do not become apparent until the day after or even several days later.  Sometimes adrenaline and shock covers the pain until some time has passed.  Even if you got checked immediately after the accident, you should see a doctor for these new pains.  They might give the doctor reason to examine you more extensively than previously expected.  Just because it may have taken a couple days to feel any pain, that does not mean you are any less entitled to compensation for your injuries.  If you have yet to do so, contact a personal injury attorney and they can help you review your case.

Chapter 7: This is known as “liquidation” or a “straight” bankruptcy.  It is used to eliminate debts such as medical bills and credit card debt (which are unsecured), and certain taxes.  Some personal property may be protected from creditors by filing Chapter 7, and can be filed by either individuals or businesses. Chapter 11: This type of bankruptcy is known as “reorganization.”  All debts (including loans, taxes, rent, and equipment payments) are discharged by Chapter 11.  It can be filed by individuals or businesses, with the benefit of the business being able to remain operational while the reorganization is in progress. Chapter 12: Specially tailored for family farmers and fishermen, this type of bankruptcy is a personal or corporate repayment plan.  Chapter 12 allows the business to remain operational while the debt is paid off over time, and attempts to keep the operation from having to liquidate assets. Chapter 13: Also known as “debt adjustment,” Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a repayment plan for individuals and sole proprietorships with regular income.  It allows for debts to be paid off over time while helping avoid foreclosure or repossession of vehicles or property.  Even debts such as child support, mortgages, and money owed to the IRS are included in this method of repayment.

Despite common belief, there are certain instances when student loans are dischargeable in bankruptcy.  For more information, contact a bankruptcy attorney today.

Probate is the administration process performed by the court when handling an estate on behalf of a deceased party. The state looks at the assets left by the deceased and creates an inventory which will be used for tax purposes and distribution to any beneficiaries. The state of Florida has two types of probate administration: Formal and Summary.
