Automobile, Motorcycle, & Truck Collisions
Our attorneys have represented many clients who were injured when other drivers ran red lights, ignored stop signs, drove recklessly, changed lanes improperly, failed to pay attention while talking on a cell phone, drove too fast, or failed to maintain a safe distance. Such collisions raise many issues regarding insurance coverage, past medical expenses, future medical expenses, permanent injuries, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and a host of other concerns. Our attorneys have successfully guided many clients through these claims.

DUI Victims
Our attorneys have represented countless people whose lives have been changed due to drunk drivers. Drunk drivers have caused death, paralysis, severe injuries, scarring, and tremendous grief. We have helped our clients and their families through these difficult times.

Nursing Home Abuse & Medical Malpractice
Florida law requires doctors, hospitals, and nursing homes to provide copies of medical records within ten days of a patient's request. They routinely refuse to comply with such requests. They use numerous tactics such as ignoring the requests, providing only some of the records (and withholding the damaging records), altering the records, claiming their computers are down, and claiming that they do not know how to comply with the requests. These violations of Florida law have become a standard business practice for many of these facilities. Our attorneys have developed a number of innovative and effective tactics for dealing with these abuses.

Automobile & Liability Insurance - Dishonest Insurance Companies
Florida law requires insurers to provide a written affidavit regarding insurance coverage (along with a copy of the policy) within thirty days of a request for such information. Many insurers routinely ignore such requests. Some insurers intentionally provide false information. In one case that our attorneys handled, the insurance company insisted, in writing, that there was no insurance coverage; the attorney's investigation and subsequent lawsuit uncovered $250,000 of coverage with that company. In another case that our attorneys handled, a different insurance company also insisted, in writing, that there was no liability insurance coverage. The attorney uncovered $30,000 of coverage after filing suit. Eventually, the attorney obtained the policy limits for the client. Afterwards, the attorney obtained an under-insured motorist recovery for the client.

Spinal Cord and Brain Injuries
These claims can occur in the context of automobile collisions, medical malpractice, seatbelt failures, SUV rollovers, or other types of negligence. The issues are complex and our attorneys have helped many clients deal with these claims.

Nursing Home Abuse
Nursing homes are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, Federal Law, and the rules and regulations promulgated by the Agency of Healthcare Administration. Nursing homes must monitor and update the care and treatment provided to their residents. Nursing homes must also contact family and the treating doctor whenever an event occurs that may affect the health and safety of the resident. Our attorneys are familiar with the regulations and how they can be used to support a valid claim for nursing home abuse.

Automobile Insurance
In most automobile collisions, Personal Injury Protection insurance (also known as No-Fault or PIP insurance) pays for 80% of reasonable and necessary medical bills, regardless of who is at fault for the accident. Insurance companies use a number of aggressive and inappropriate tactics to avoid their obligations to pay these bills. We protect our clients from these tactics. A favorite tactic of the insurance companies is to have patients examined by the biased doctor of their choice. These doctors get paid significant amounts of money to render an opinion that additional treatment is not necessary, regardless of the patient's condition. In each case, the written opinions are nearly identical except that the names of the patients change. The insurance companies try to use these opinions to cut off treatment much like HMO's try to avoid paying for treatment. Our attorneys have been very successful in defeating these opinions by showing the importance of the treatment to our client's health, the bias of the doctors due to the significant monies they receive from the insurance carriers, and the shoddy cookie-cutter examinations performed by these doctors.
