• Miami Accidents due Product liability. As consumers, we expect products to work as intended by the manufacturer or designer. When products contain defects or malfunction, users can be seriously hurt or killed.
• Accident due to Premise liability. In Florida, the owners of property have a duty to keep visitors safe from harm. Unfortunately, slip and fall accidents are one of the most common premise liability accidents. Slip and falls can occur due to inadequate lighting, uneven surfaces, or improper maintenance of a building.

• Wrongful death. When loved ones are killed in accidents, their survivors are often able to initiate lawsuits to recover compensation for burial costs, lost wages, and other damages associated with the death.

When compensation is awarded for personal injury accidents, Florida courts take both economic as well as non-economic damages into consideration.

Economic damages are the most common, and they refer to losses that can easily be assigned a monetary value. Some of the most common examples of economic damages include medical bills, lost wages, and any other financial losses incurred as a result of an accident. It is much more difficult to assign a monetary value to non-economic damages. Some of the most common types of non-economic damages include pain and suffering. Our lawyers will fight for the maximum amount of compensation possible.

Some of the most helpful steps that you can take after being injured in an accident include the following:

• Get to a safe place. Immediately after an accident, you should focus on your safety. If you remain in a dangerous situation, there is a risk that you could get hurt even worse. Sometimes, it is not always possible to do so, in which case you should remain still.
• Contact emergency services. As soon as you are able to do so, you should contact emergency services. After law enforcement and other emergency workers arrive, you should make sure to tell them how the accident occurred so a report can be written.
• Receive medical care. When emergency medical workers arrive at the scene of the accident, they will examine your injuries and instruct you to receive medical treatment, if necessary. Follow their instructions and see a doctor right away.
