Naples Personal Injury Law Firm

With all of the television and radio advertisements for Naples personal injury lawyers one thing is clear, the lawyers  paying for all this marketing must be making money. Whether or not it makes financial sense to hire a Naples law firm is a completely different question. There are many factors that must be considered before answering this difficult question, for example is one party clearly at fault or is liability for the crash being contested. Another factor to be evaluated is whether or not the at fault party has insurance or collectable assets to satisfy an injury claim and if so what are those assets or insurance limits and how does that relate to your financial needs. Study after study has continued to prove that injured parties most often to better after hiring an attorney and we believe that is due to the fact that it is just plain difficult to advocate effectively for yourself without sounding needy or worse becoming emotional and acting irrational as it relates to your claim or medical treatment.

The phrase Personal injury law is part of a legal area within our civil laws known as tort law. A tort is a harmful act (or failure to act), which often results in a physical injury to the victim. The basic principal of tort law is that an innocent victim should be compensated financially for his or her losses by the person responsible; while this system is less than perfect and money wont solve many of the problems created after a serious injury, it's the best system that exists and it can go a long way in terms of paying for lost wages, past and future medical bills as well as some compensation for pain and suffering. Given the cost of medical care combined the cost of living in Naples, these costs and expense can pile up quickly; our team is familiar with the medical providers and billing procedures by many of the local doctors offices and even Physicians regional, Naples Community Hospital (NCH) or the Cleveland Clinic.

In Florida, some types of cases can be both a tort (civil) and a criminal matter. When this situation occurs, it is the state attorney who evaluates whether or not to prosecute the offender for the crime. Regardless of the state’s decision on the criminal action, your right to pursue civil action is not affected.

Most personal injury lawsuits in Florida are brought under the claim of negligence. In order to this claim, the injured party must prove the following 4 elements:

1. That the defendant owed them a certain duty;
2. That the defendant breached that duty;
3. That the defendant’s breach was the cause of the injury, and;
4. That the plaintiff suffered an injury.

Our experienced team of  Naples personal injury lawyers can quickly determine if the above-mentioned elements exist in your case, if so you may be entitled to compensatory or even punitive damages. While the above factors can easily be looked up in a legal book or the Florida statutes, nothing in a book will tell you of you are making a good financial decision or what specific course of action that you should take when dealing with experienced insurance adjusters. That is where the experience of an established Naples personal injury lawyer comes into play; for example if you call our law firm we will quickly be able to give you examples of similar cases that we have handled, we will also be able to discuss with you how those cases are both similar or different from your case and together we can come up with a plan of action that combines the unique aspects of your case and our decades of experience.
