Bradford County Personal Injury Lawyer

Accidents happen quickly, and unexpectedly. When they do, the injuries sustained can have a dramatic effect on your life. You will incur high medical bills to treat the injury, and you may lose income if you cannot return to work. Even more so, you may not be able to enjoy the things you once did, including taking part in hobbies or even playing with your children. If your accident was caused by another person’s negligence, you can file a claim against them for compensation. Our Bradford County personal injury lawyer can help  you claim the fair damages you are entitled to.

Practice Areas in Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law encompasses many different practice areas. Although negligence plays a role in most personal injury cases, each area is governed by a different set of laws. Our Bradford County personal injury lawyer can help with any of the following:

  • Car accidents: Under Florida’s no-fault auto insurance laws, you can file a claim with your own insurance company after an accident. Through your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage, you can obtain compensation for all of your medical expenses. If your injuries are very serious, you may also be able to file a claim with the at-fault party’s insurer.
  • Truck accidents: Truck accidents are vastly different from other auto crashes. The injuries are more serious, there are many potential liable parties, and they are governed by both state and federal law.
  • Motorcycle accidents: Motorcycle accidents are also different from other cranes on the road because motorcycles are not considered vehicles under state law.
  • Bicycle accidents: Bicyclists have little to no protection when they are on the road. When they are struck by a vehicle, they will sustain extremely serious injuries.
  • Pedestrian accidents: Pedestrians are at great risk when they walk around Bradford County. Pedestrians are entirely exposed and when they are stuck by a vehicle, the injuries are catastrophic.
  • Premises liability accidents: Any accident that occurs on another person’s property falls under premises liability law.

When to File a Personal Injury Claim

Any time you are injured by another person’s carelessness, it is important to speak to a lawyer about whether you can file a claim. If you have a legitimate case, you then only have four years from the date of the accident to file your claim. The time limit is known as the statute of limitations. If it expires, you will likely lose your legal right to claim any damages at all.
