Car Accidents
Have you been in a car accident that has caused you an injury, or has your loved one been recently involved in a fatal accident? If so, you may have a right to compensation. The Law Offices of Herssein and Herssein are here to help.
In many car accident cases, some damages you may be entitled to are medical expenses, lost income, loss of enjoyment, pain and suffering, and emotional damages. In the case of death by car accident, a loved one can collect damages for medical and funeral expenses, emotional anguish, lost earnings, and even loss of consortium (companionship).
There are many different types of accidents that qualify for this category. Here are some examples that you could get compensation for:
- Fatal car crashes
- Accidents on the highway
- SUV rollovers
- Seat belt or air bag injury
- Tire blowouts
- Car repair defects
- Whiplash
Most people do not even realize that something as small as a rear-end collision can have horrible results such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, chronic pain, or even permanent disability. It is not uncommon for recovery to take months, or even years, from one of these accidents.
Florida is a 'comparative negligence' state. That means that any negligence on the victim's part (such as not wearing a seatbelt) will reduce the reward. Our job is to show that the driver who caused the crash is most at fault, and not the victim.
