Most – but not all – personal injury cases are based on a legal theory called negligence. What is negligence? Negligence essentially means that you’ve been injured because someone else wasn’t careful.

In order to win, you’ll have the burden of proving negligence. How? There are four different elements that you’ll have to establish: duty, breach, causation, and damages.

• Duty: The defendant must have owed you a duty of care, meaning that they had a responsibility to use “reasonable care” under the circumstances.
• Breach: The defendant failed to act reasonably under the circumstances, breaching the duty of care owed ot you.
• Causation: The defendant’s conduct was the direct and proximate cause of your injury.
• Damages: You’ve sustained damages, as a result.

This might seem straightforward, but proving negligence can be quite challenging. If you’ve suffered an injury because someone else was negligent, contact our St. Petersburg injury attorneys for immediate assistance. You’ll benefit from depth of knowledge that can only come from practicing personal injury law consistently for more than 66 years.

Our lawyers work on a contingency basis. This means that our fee totally depends on the outcome of your case. If we don’t win for you, you pay us nothing.

If we take your case, it means that we’re confident that we’ll win. So confident, in fact, that we’re willing to assume all of the financial risks associated with bringing a claim and demanding compensation.

When we win, our personal injury law firm gets a pre-negotiated percentage of your financial award. It’s that simple.

Whether you’re going to submit a claim to insurance, request workers’ compensation benefits, or file a personal injury lawsuit, you’ll only have a limited amount of time to do so.

• Insurance claims must be filed within a reasonable amount of time after an accident.
• Florida state law gives injured workers 30 days to report an accident and just two years to formally request workers’ comp benefits.
• Due to a recent change in the law, most personal injury lawsuits have to be filed within two years (if the accident happened on 3/24/2023 or later) or four years (if it took place before that date).
• The statute of limitations is two years wrongful death claims.

If you miss the deadline that applies to your case, you’ll forfeit the right to ask for the money you really need.

Protect yourself – and your ability to get the financial award you deserve – by calling our attorneys as soon as you can after you get hurt. Our St. Petersburg injury lawyers will handle these procedural issues on your behalf, and work hard to not only recover compensation for you, but also maximize your award.
