Parkland Personal Injury Attorneys

Proving liability is a complex yet crucial step to recovering compensation for your injuries. The plaintiff bears the burden of proof in personal injury claims, meaning you are responsible for establishing liability by a preponderance of the evidence. In other words, you must prove that the defendant’s negligence “more likely than not” caused your injuries. This is why working with a skilled injury lawyer is essential.

Our attorneys can help you prove liability by establishing the following elements:

1. Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as maintaining reasonably safe premises for customers or obeying traffic laws.
2. Breach of duty. The defendant breached this duty by acting negligently, such as running a red light or failing to address known hazards on their property.
3. Causation. The defendant’s negligence is the proximate cause of the accident and your resulting injuries.
4. Damages. You suffered compensatory harm (damages) as a result of the defendant’s breach.

At The South Florida Injury Law Firm, we have a deep understanding of personal injury law to identify negligent parties, gather evidence, and fight for a full settlement on your behalf.

Depending on the circumstances of the accident, various damages may be available in a personal injury claim. Common types of recoverable compensation include:

• Economic damages for direct financial losses, such as medical expenses, treatment costs, lost earnings and future earning capacity, and property damage.
• Non-economic damages for indirect losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

In rare cases involving extreme negligence, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the defendant and deter repeat behavior in the future. Our attorneys can assess every avenue for financial recovery and fight for a comprehensive settlement that covers all your current and future care needs.

If you were injured while biking at Pine Trails Park, you may be entitled to compensation if you can prove the accident was caused by another’s carelessness. Our firm can help you obtain critical evidence like police reports, medical records, witness testimonies, and expert statements to support your claim and hold the at-fault party accountable.

Liability for a slip-and-fall injury at the Parkland Farmers’ Market depends on where and how the accident happened. For example, if you slipped at a vendor’s booth, the vendor may be liable for damages. If the fall occurred in a common area like a walkway or entrance, the city or event organizer may be responsible for failing to maintain a safe environment.

It's important to understand that lawsuits filed against a city or government entity may be subject to different rules and shortened filing deadlines under Florida law. Our attorneys are well-versed in these legal complexities to thoroughly investigate the accident and work tirelessly to hold the appropriate party accountable.
