Brian D. Guralnick Injury Lawyers handle the following types of cases for our Jupiter clients, among others:
Bicycle accidents are often quite serious because bicycles offer no frame protection for the rider. This is no exception – over 7,000 people required emergency room treatment for bicycle accidents in 2015. Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents in Jupiter include ignoring blind spots, failure to yield, opening doors into traffic lanes, cell use, and DUI.
Boating is particularly popular in Florida for obvious reasons. Correspondingly, boating accidents are particularly common. In some ways, the causes of boating accidents resemble the causes of road accidents – speeding, alcohol intoxication, and improper maintenance, for example. Other reasons are relatively unique to boating accidents – ignoring wake warnings, on-deck horseplay, and dock injuries. Luxury cruises carry their dangers, including falling overboard, slip-and-fall accidents, and food poisoning. Fortunately, cruise lines are almost always financially capable of paying a significant judgment.
Car accidents account for 200,000 injuries annually in Florida – one percent of the state population. While some accidents are nobody’s fault, some are the fault of the injured driver, and some are taken care of under Florida’s “no-fault” system, an appreciable percentage are caused by someone else’s negligence and are actionable in court. Our car accident lawyers combine decades of experience in personal injury lawsuits with effective legal strategies to obtain maximum compensation for our clients.
The lure of motorcycling isn’t hard to understand, given its individual freedom. Unfortunately, a motorcycle’s powerful engine, lack of rider protection, and inconspicuousness often collide with much larger vehicles. Catastrophic motorcycle accident injuries are distressingly common – brain damage, quadriplegia, neck injuries, and shattered bones are far more likely in a motorcycle accident than in an automobile accident. When a severe motorcycle accident occurs, don’t fall for the lure of quick cash by signing a preliminary settlement agreement. Instead, you should seek out the services of an experienced Jupiter personal injury lawyer.
Florida’s pedestrian accident rate is one of the highest in the nation – over 9,000 pedestrians were injured in 2015, including hundreds in Palm Beach County alone. The most common causes of pedestrian accidents caused by the driver are failure to yield, texting, DUI, turning into a crosswalk against the light, and backing into a pedestrian. Severe injuries are the norm in pedestrian accidents, and extensive damages awards are common for victims who choose the right personal injury lawyer. Our Jupiter pedestrian accident lawyers enjoy decades of experience in accident cases, and we will fight to ensure you are fully compensated.
Premises liability is the liability that the owner or renter of real property undertakes toward others who enter their property. These include retail customers, social guests, and even trespassers in some instances (naughty children, for example). Many injuries can be litigated under premises liability law, including slip and fall accidents, assaults by other guests, and even animal attacks. The degree of rights you enjoy depends on how the law classifies you – as an invitee, a licensee, or a trespasser.
Slip and fall accidents are right up there, with car accidents as the most common type of personal injury case. Slip and fall injuries can be debilitating and sometimes even fatal, especially if the victim is elderly. In many cases, a slip and fall accident is directly or indirectly caused by the property’s owner or renter – icy steps, weak or broken handrails, malfunctioning elevators, slippery floors, and broken pavements are common defective conditions that justify a lawsuit. Since proving liability can be challenging in a slip-and-fall case, the services of an experienced personal injury lawyer can make the difference between winning and losing.
Today, 18-wheeler trucks are the great white sharks off the highways, and even smaller trucks can be no less intimidating. A sedan, motorcycle, bicycle, or pedestrian can be crushed or sent flying across the road by the momentum of a truck. Palm Beach County, including trucks, witnessed over 2,400 commercial vehicle accidents in 2015. The most common causes of truck accidents caused by the truck driver are texting while driving, driver fatigue, falling asleep at the wheel, cargo overloading, hydroplaning, and DUI. If the truck driver was an on-duty employee of a trucking company, you might be able to file a joint lawsuit against the driver and the trucking company.
The victim of a personal injury lawsuit can file a lawsuit and allow their lawyer to handle most of the work, even while debilitated. So, what happens when someone dies in an accident? A wrongful death lawsuit is what happens. In Florida, a wrongful death lawsuit must be filed by the personal representative of the deceased victim’s estate, whether or not this person is a deceased relative. Proceeds of the lawsuit can be distributed to survivors or to the estate itself, depending on what is being compensated. Potential damages include funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of financial support by dependants, loss of the victim’s future earnings, loss of companionship and guidance, grief (if the victim was a child), and other losses.
The first line of defense against a personal injury defendant is supplementary insurance – uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, to be exact. This type of insurance will cover you if you are injured by an uninsured motorist or whose insurance is insufficient, together with your PIP insurance, to cover your claim.
If you failed to purchase this type of insurance before your accident – or if these resources turn out to be insufficient – then depending on your case, you may be able to pursue the time-tested “deep pockets” strategy. Find a second defendant whose resources are sufficient to pay your claim. For example, if you were injured by an on-duty commercial driver employed by a company, you could probably sue the employer. Other defendants are possible under certain circumstances.
No, you shouldn’t unless your personal injury lawyer advises you. A release will absolve the other party (typically an insurance company) from paying your claim. Any insurance company would love to have your signature on a release of liability in exchange for a small settlement, but that wouldn’t be fair to you.
Once a fair settlement agreement has been reached, a release of liability clause will be included in a settlement agreement that you both will sign. This clause ensures that you will never be able to sue the other party again over the same accident, even if your future expenses turn out to be more than you thought they would be and even if you discover a new injury from the accident that wasn’t apparent at first. For these reasons, you must be very careful signing any release.
A letter of protection is issued by your personal injury lawyer, guaranteeing that your medical bills will be paid out of any verdict or settlement you receive. This letter is sometimes necessary because doctors may refuse to treat you through your ordinary health insurance policy if your injuries were caused by an auto accident – they will expect you to rely on your car insurance instead.
Unfortunately, your car insurance might not be enough to cover the cost of your treatment; moreover, most car insurance companies won’t pay out until your treatment is completed – they expect you to pay your bills yourself and wait for them to reimburse you later. A letter of protection is designed to give the doctor an incentive to continue treating you in anticipation of a future verdict or settlement. Even if you receive no verdict or settlement, you will still be responsible for paying your medical bills.
In personal injury cases, MMI means “Maximum Medical Improvement.” MMI is essentially an opinion issued by your doctor that your recovery has reached the peak of what medical treatment can do for you. It doesn’t mean that you won’t have continuing pain or further treatment; it just means that your recovery phase has been completed.
MMI is critical because you must wait until you have reached this point before it will make any sense to calculate your future medical bills. Consequently, it would help if you reached MMI before you decide on the amount of the “future medical expenses” component of your personal injury claim.
Calculating your future medical expenses can be tricky after your reach MMI, much less before. It is critically important that you get it right because once a verdict is issued or you sign a settlement agreement, you won’t be able to come back and ask for more money later if you run out.
