Workers Compensation Immunity

Typically in Florida employers have what we call workers’ compensation immunity, meaning that you cannot sue them if you’ve been injured at the workplace or on the job, but that only applies if your employer carries workers’ compensation coverage for you.

So if you’re injured at the workplace, or on the job, or at a construction site and you do not have workers’ compensation benefits that provide you medical treatment or loss of wages, it’s imperative that you contact a reputable law firm to assess whether or not you have a viable claim against your employer for that injury that you’ve suffered on the job.

2 Types of Damages in Wrongful Death Lawsuit in Orlando

The Wrongful Death Lawsuit in the state of Florida has two basic types of damages: Economic Damages and Non-Economic Damages.

Economic Damages

Economic  Damages are those damages that we can put on the board – lost wages, funeral, medical bills, that type of thing.

Non- Economic Damages

Non-Economic Damages would be pain and suffering, impairment to the quality of life – things of an intangible nature. If you’ve lost a loved one due to a wrongful death, call Colling Gilbert Wright & Carter: 1-800-49-LEGAL.

Importance Of A Doctor Post-Injury

If the accident you’ve been involved in has resulted in you feeling injured, then it is important that you go to the doctor so that your injuries not only can be treated, but so that your injuries can also be documented for the claims handling process. Never allow a lawyer or a law firm to dictate your medical treatment. If you feel injured, if you feel hurt, if you feel different than you did before an accident, it’s imperative that you go to a doctor, you seek medical treatment, so that you can be adequately treated for your injuries and so that your injuries and damages can be adequately documented.

Defective Product Injury Claim

If you’ve been injured by a product, it may very well be that the product had either a design defect or a manufacturing defect, which are two variations of product liability or product defect law. A design defect means that the product was designed in such a way that it was unreasonably dangerous and maybe could have been designed more safely. A manufacturing defect means that the product, although it may have been designed appropriately, suffered from a defect at some point during the manufacturing process. Either way, if the defect caused an injury, you may have a basis for the claim.

The best way to determine whether or not the product may be defective is to contact an experienced product liability attorney, who generally is going to be able to research and provide information with respect to any recalls or other lawsuits or litigation involving the same or similar products.

Partial Fault In An Auto Accident

Any individual who is in an accident in Florida and who is driving can be found to be wholly or partially responsible for that accident. A jury is always going to be asked to assess the relative fault of each of the parties involved in the litigation. And if, for example, you have one vehicle – the other vehicle where someone ran a stop sign – but perhaps in your vehicle you were not wearing a seat belt, a jury can assess your responsibility for your injuries because you were not wearing a seat belt.
