A Miami personal injury attorney has experience dealing with any type of injury or harm caused by intentional harm, strict liability or negligence, whether the third party is another person, an entity or a business. The attorneys at Leighton Panoff Law specialize in these personal injury cases and we’re ready to put our expertise to work to help you get the compensation you deserve to cover medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, lost wages and more.

Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

If you’ve been hurt, you may be wondering if you actually have a claim to damages and compensation. That’s why it’s important to speak to a Miami, Florida personal injury attorney at Leighton Panoff Law as soon as possible. We’ll hear your story and determine if it qualifies for a claim or a lawsuit. For a valid injury claim, we’ll need to prove that the harm was caused by either strict liability, intentional harm or negligence.

Most personal injury cases involve negligence, meaning the third party did not show reasonable care and fulfill their obligation to keep you safe. We’ll carefully investigate the incident to prove these four necessary factors:
Duty of care, or the third party had a real obligation to show reasonable care to avoid accidents and injury.
Breach of duty, or the negligent third party exposed you to a substantial risk of injury, whether or not they realized it.
Direct cause of the injury, or the action (or lack thereof) directly resulted in your injury.
Real harm. We will prove that you actually suffered some type of harm from your injury, whether it’s medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering or even reduced work capacity.
