Miami Gardens Personal Injury Accidents

No matter who you are or where you live, injuries can happen. Sometimes, they are unavoidable. However, in many cases, the injury could have prevented. It may be the fault of a person or party who acted negligently or irresponsibly. If you or someone close to you has been injured within the last four years, please do not assume that it is your own fault, or that the injury is only minor. Often, the injury may seem minor at first, but it may be more serious than you think. Sometimes, what appears to be a simple cut, scrape, pulled muscle or strained ligament can develop into a serious medical condition that can bring you years of pain, loss of function, ongoing treatment, and gigantic medical bills. Generally, it is best to treat every injury as being potentially serious and potentially costly. That is why it is so important to contact a Miami Gardens personal injury lawyer if you or a loved one has been hurt. The statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in Florida is four years, so it may not be too late to contact a personal injury attorney to explore your rights and options.

A personal injury claim is typically filed when an injury is sustained due to the actions of someone who acted in an inappropriate manner, or who failed to act in line with their duty. This standard can cover a wide range of circumstances. Many of our laws focus on the idea of reasonable expectations of people’s behaviors and duties. When people fail to live up to the expectations of the society, they may be found to be responsible for the consequences. For instance, a medical doctor who fails to prescribe the appropriate treatment for a patient may cause permanent harm to that individual. People who operate vehicles and other machinery without proper training or precautions may cause serious injury or even death to others. Irresponsible pet owners may allow their pets to attack innocent bystanders. The list of possibilities is virtually endless. The best way to determine if you should file a personal injury claim is to contact a qualified personal injury attorney within the four year statute of limitations.

If you have sustained an injury due to the actions of a responsible party, you may be eligible to collect on a range of damages. Most people probably expect that they will be compensated for medical bills, but the claim may bring in awards for other damages, including future medical care, loss of earnings, transportation, physical therapy, psychological therapy, pain and suffering, paralysis, loss of movement or function, disfigurement, reduction of quality of life, and many other crucial factors.

If you have suffered an injury, you may require the help of a skilled personal injury attorney.
