When you’re injured, there’s a good chance someone is legally responsible, whether it’s a construction accident, an auto accident, negligent security, a slip and fall or a defective product. When you need a Florida personal injury attorney to represent you, turn to Leighton Law. We have offices in Miami and Orlando and have been representing people injured in Florida for over 37 years. We specialize in personal injury representation for all types of cases and we’ll help you get the compensation you deserve to cover your medical bills, pain and suffering and other expenses. This form of law is designed to protect you when you’ve been harmed by intentional actions or neglect by a third party. We’re ready to hear your story and make sure your rights are protected.
To establish a claim, you need a personal injury law firm to prove legal responsibility of the third party. This responsibility is proven by showing liability and damages, or your losses. Liability is divided into three main categories: intentional acts of harm, acts of negligence and strict liability, which means the third party may be liable for damages without negligence or carelessness. This type of case usually applies to defective products and animal injuries, such as dog bites.
Damages can include anything from loss of support from a loved one, property damages, current medical expenses, future medical costs and lost earning potential to lost earnings while you recover, pain and suffering and even a change in your lifestyle.
There are many types of personal injury cases, including:
Negligent security
Construction injury Florida cases, if you’ve been injured on the job site using heavy equipment, tools or faulty scaffolding
Injuries from a violent crime
Wrongful death
Slip and fall accidents
Defective products
Dog bites and animal injuries
Motorcycle, auto, ATV and commercial truck accidents
Nursing home and assisted living neglect
Medical malpractice, including birth trauma, failure to diagnose, misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, surgical errors and prescription drug mistakes
If you’ve been injured in any type of accident and you feel someone was liable or responsible for your injury, it’s important to seek legal counsel as soon as possible. When you’re ready to hire an injury lawyer, Florida law has very strict statutes of limitations on these cases. In 2023 the statute of limitations was shortened to two years, so you must act quickly. If you wait too long, you may miss your opportunity to recover the compensation you deserve.
At Leighton Law, we will work tirelessly to represent you and help you recover the highest compensation possible to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses and your pain and suffering. We will investigate your case and gather strong evidence of liability and damages and protect your rights. Never accept a settlement until you speak with a lawyer!
