If you’ve been hurt in an accident, someone may be legally liable, whether you were hurt in an automobile or motorcycle accident, in a store parking lot or on the job. If you’re thinking that it’s time to consult with a Florida personal injury attorney, Leighton Law is here to help. Our firm handles personal injury cases of all types and we work hard to represent you and get you the compensation you need for medical expenses, out-of-pocket costs, pain and suffering and lost wages. We have been representing injury victims for over 28 years and have offices in Miami and Orlando to cover the state of Florida.

Personal injury law is designed to protect you in the case of injury, whether it’s the result of a third party’s negligence, inaction, strict liability or intentional actions. Leighton Law is prepared to hear your case and offer you the best representation possible.

Do You Have a Case?

Once we hear your story, we’ll determine if you actually have a case. To establish your personal injury claim, a personal injury attorney must show the third party has legal responsibility for your injury. There are three types of liability that may be involved: intentional harm, negligence and strict liability, which involves responsibility without an actual act of negligence. Examples of strict liability include a dog bite injury or a defective product that hurt you.

Along with proving third party liability, we must also prove the actual damages you sustained. This can include any property damage, as well as medical bills, future medical expenses, lost wages and loss of support if a loved one was killed. Depending on the situation, you may even recover compensation for lost earning potential, a lifestyle change and pain and suffering. Some cases also lead to punitive damages, which are a punishment to the third party for their actions.
