Your accident attorney’s job is to show the court how the driver behaved negligently and how those actions caused an accident that led to your injuries. But when the accident was related to a DUI, the burden of proving negligence changes. When the other driver is arrested for and found guilty of a DUI, you can use this as proof of negligence as a matter of law.

Traffic Violations
Drug Crimes
The general theory of liability in most defective drug cases is a failure to adequately warn. Over and over again, we investigate large pharmaceutical companies that initiate studies and knowledge of dangerous consequences but do not warn consumers of possible dangers and side effects. Products are often over-marketed and falsely advertised, and consumers do not have a balanced or accurate idea of the drug or its consequences.

Auto Accidents
Dog Bites
If you or your child was bitten by another person’s dog, you may be eligible for compensation. Florida is a “strict liability†state, which means a dog’s owner is liable for injuries if their dog bites another person when they are legally on private property or public property. Even if the owner had no prior warning or knowledge that their dog was going to bite you, they may still be held liable.
