Personal Injury Attorneys with 25 Years Experience
Navigating the ups and downs of everyday life is a lot like sailing. On a nice sunny day, you can dock your boat in still waters and relax, soaking up the sun. Other days, there might be a little rain or choppiness, but you persist. When you are injured at the hands of another due to their reckless or negligent behavior, it can be very difficult, if not impossible, to continue sailing on.
Picture your injury as a leak. When the water starts to rush in, slow or fast, it’s time to call someone in to help. Whether you have been injured while out and about on the town or while in your car, any damage that was caused by knowingly negligent behavior leaves you eligible for compensation. A personal injury lawyer has the knowledge and experience to help guide you through the decision-making process and get the most possible compensation available.
Common Examples of New Port Richey Personal Injury Cases
No two personal injury cases are the same. The common thread is the disruption of your everyday lifestyle at the hands of another person, business, or entity. This disruption can stem from not just the time and expense related to needed medical care, but also the pain a person experiences following injuries from a premises hazard. Loss of income is another concern. Common examples of New Port Richey personal injury claims include the following:
Premises Liability
If you are injured while on someone else’s property due to negligence, this falls under the category of premises liability. Florida premises law generally requires you to be an invited or welcomed guest on the premises. However, there are exceptions.
Common examples of premise liability can include slipping and falling at your favorite restaurant, tripping over an unmarked or cracked threshold, or even suffering an injury because of a dangerous pothole or ramp.
Car Accident
The Sunshine State has long, open roads that can go from empty to packed in the blink of an eye. Motor vehicle accidents are unfortunately common, with the number one cause being speeding. Being in a car accident because of someone else’s reckless driving can truly alter the course of your life, with injuries ranging from whiplash to broken bones and paralysis.
Product Liability
When you purchase a product, you expect a certain standard of quality. Any hazardous parts must be properly documented, and warnings must be given or in plain sight. Burn injuries are a common injury suffered by victims of product malfunctions. If you are filing a product liability claim, your personal injury lawyer can help establish a lack of clear warning and use their professional contacts to collect expert testimony.
Wrongful Death
When an individual passes away due to negligent behavior, the survivors of the victim are eligible to file a wrongful death claim.
Wrongful death cases are extremely sensitive and can be difficult to take on alone. McPherson & Thomas, P.A. understand deeply the overwhelming nature of these cases and have successfully supported many Florida families during their time of need.
How Our Personal Injury Attorneys from McPherson & Thomas, P.A. Can Help
Filing a claim can be overwhelming, especially while recovering from a life-altering injury. Partnering up with an experienced personal injury firm like McPherson & Thomas, P.A. means you can sit back and focus on yourself while we do the hard parts. We can help by:
- Gathering evidence: An important part of a personal injury claim is demonstrating your injury was the primary result of another’s negligent or wrongful behavior. This is most easily done through evidence gathered at the scene, such as video footage of the accident, photos, eyewitness testimony, traffic camera footage, police reports, medical reports, and more.
- Recovering damages: A settlement with insurance companies usually means you may receive an inadequate sum of money and a pat on the back before you are left to fend for yourself. A personal injury lawyer will fight for the compensation that actually makes sense for your case and your injuries. Both economic and non-economic damages can be sought after for personal injury cases.
