Sex Crimes
The average payout for a personal injury case would be hard to determine without consideration for many details. For starters, different types of cases are handled differently, the types of results found in car accidents, slip and falls, nursing home abuse, clergy sexual assault, aviation wrongful death, amusement park death and disfigurement, hotel parking lot negligent security, truck and semi accidents and motorcycle crashes, just to name a few, are all so different – and then you could get into the types of people that have those cases, their backgrounds, their wage loss and business opportunity – or how about the jurisdictions? It’s common knowledge in the Florida legal community that some jurisdictions have a jury pool that take corporate responsibility and insurance company promises more seriously than others. So I guess the answer is, it all depends. How Do I Find a Good Personal Injury Attorney?

Assault
Murder
A Wrongful Death can occur when the actions of a person, persons or company are determined to be negligent and they cause or are determined to be the legal cause of an injury which leads to a death that otherwise was avoidable. It is important to note that Wrongful Death is not the same as Murder. Murder is generally defined as an intentional act and us commonly resolved in criminal court, although they can also give rise to civil claim. In Florida, a Wrongful Death lawsuit can be based on simple negligence like a car accident or pedestrian accident, or something more complicated, like nursing home abuse or medical error and malpractice.

Employment Law

Workers Compensation
Wrongful Termination
Employment Discrimination
Wage and hour violations can involve wage theft, a failure to pay the minimum wage, a failure to pay overtime, and more. Whether you are paid hourly or on a salary does not affect whether you are entitled to be paid overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Your eligibility for overtime is dictated by whether you are an exempt or non-exempt employee, based on the legal criteria for these categories and your job duties, occupation, and wages. There are harsh penalties that can be rendered against an employer that fails to pay overtime or retaliates against you for seeking unpaid wages. Employment Discrimination

Property Law

Premises Liability
Florida is a popular state for motorcyclists, but it also has a high rate of motorcycle accidents. Motorcyclists deserve the same respect on the road as anyone in a vehicle. Unfortunately, drivers of larger vehicles do not always give them the right of way when they are entitled to it. Some drivers fail to give them enough space when making turns or changing lanes. A motorcycle rider may be able to recover compensation from a driver who caused a crash. Our Hernando County injury lawyers can help a victim fight back against any allegations that they were at fault so that they can maximize their damages award. Premises Liability

Health Law

Personal Injury
A personal injury matter may involve any careless, reckless, or intentional act that causes harm to a victim. There are various theories under which a personal injury lawsuit may proceed. The most common theory is negligence, in which an injury attorney in Hernando County can help a victim argue that the defendant failed to use reasonable care, thereby causing harm to the victim. However, defendants also can be held liable under a theory of strict liability in some cases. Our firm handles lawsuits arising out of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, and other accidents.
