Bicycle accidents are frequently catastrophic because bicycles lack the protection provided by automobiles. In Delray Beach, the situation is even worse – its bicycle accident death rate is the highest in the nation, and over 7,000 people are injured yearly. Some of the most common causes of bicycle accidents in Delray Beach include failure to take blind spots into account, failure to yield the right-of-way, opening doors into traffic, texting, and intoxication.
With its plentiful lakes and beaches, it is a boater’s paradise. It is also prime for boating accidents. There are numerous causes of boating accidents. Some of these causes – speeding, racing, intoxication, and improper maintenance – are common in car accidents. Other reasons for ignoring wake warnings and dock injuries are peculiar to boating accidents. On the other hand, cruise ships present risks that are more common to land-based accidents, such as slip and fall accidents and food poisoning.
Florida instituted a no-fault car insurance system because its courts were jammed with car accident lawsuits from the hundreds of thousands of injury accidents the state suffers from yearly. Although the no-fault system prevents injured parties from filing a lawsuit or even a third-party claim against an at-fault driver’s insurance company, if your injuries are severe enough, you can exit the no-fault system and file a lawsuit or a third-party claim (or both). Our Delray Beach car accident attorneys combine decades of experience in auto accident cases with sound, time-tested legal strategies for securing maximum compensation.
Riding a motorcycle might seem like riding a 21st-century version of a magic carpet until an accident happens. The combination of horsepower, lack of frame protection, low visibility, and oblivious motorists makes motorcycles more dangerous than either cars or bicycles. Two unfortunate aspects of motorcycle accidents are that (i) they are likely to be the other driver’s fault and (ii) serious injuries are particularly common. Brain damage, spinal cord injuries, paralysis, coma, neck injuries, and broken bones are too joint.
Walking is a lot more dangerous than it looks in – Florida suffers one of the highest pedestrian accident rates in the United States, with over 9,000 injuries annually. Pedestrians are injured every single day right here in Palm Beach County. The most common reasons for pedestrian accidents caused by a motorist are failure to yield, texting while driving, drunken driving, and turning into a busy crosswalk.
In Florida, as well as elsewhere, property owners and tenants are required to exert a reasonable effort to ensure the safety of visitors to their premises, including retail customers, social guests, and sometimes even trespassers. Any injury accident can create liability under premises liability if the owner or tenant fails to remedy or warn of certain dangerous conditions. In some cases, a tenant can even sue a landlord for the wrongful conduct of another tenant.
Slip and fall accident lawsuits are common in courts. These kinds of injuries, moreover, are often long-term or even permanent, especially if the victim is elderly. Slip and fall accidents can occur for many reasons – icy steps, missing guardrails, slippery floors (leading to occasional “banana peel lawsuits”), uneven pavement, and potholes- just a few of the defective conditions that can result in liability. Since proving liability can be complicated in many cases, the services of a top-tier personal injury lawyer can be invaluable.
An automobile or a motorcycle is no match for an 18-wheeler rig or even a medium-sized truck. Delray Beach sees its share of truck accident lawsuits in the wake of thousands of Palm Beach County truck accidents per year. The exact primary causes show up repeatedly – distracted driving, driver fatigue, tailgating, hydroplaning, and jackknifing are among the most common. You can sometimes sue both the driver and the trucking company.
Personal injury lawsuits are inappropriate when the victim dies in an accident. Instead, a wrongful death lawsuit is called for. Florida requires a wrongful death lawsuit to be filed by the personal representative of the victim’s estate. However, some proceeds can go directly to survivors (the rest goes into the estate). Damages might include funeral expenses, medical bills, financial support, future earnings loss, companionship and guidance, and emotional suffering (if the victim was a child).
Evidence is king in personal injury cases – without it, you cannot win. Many different types of evidence can be collected, including:
Sometimes, evidence is excluded by the Evidence Code. You might have trouble, for example, submitting a photocopy of a death certificate or oral testimony on the contents of a police report (if a written version is available).
An excellent personal injury lawyer should at least possess the following qualities:
The answer to this question depends on many factors, some of which are difficult to calculate. Some of the most important factors are:
Many other factors also come into play. One of the most important, however, is the skill of your personal injury lawyer.
Negligence is the “legalese” word for carelessness. It refers to the defendant’s failure to exercise the same degree of care that a “reasonable person” would be expected to exercise under the circumstances of the accident.
Since negligence can take so many forms, there is no specific formula to determine whether a particular action or failure to act was negligent – it all depends on the extent to which your lawyer can convince the court that a “reasonable person” would have exercised more outstanding care than the defendant did.
Proving negligence alone will not win a lawsuit – you must also prove that the defendant’s negligence was the actual cause of the accident. Even a drunken driver, for example, can win a lawsuit if they can prove that the accident would have occurred even if the driver had been “sober as a judge.”

My journey into personal injury law began in a deeply personal and heartbreaking way. When my mother’s malignant melanoma skin cancer was misdiagnosed, the delay in proper treatment allowed the cancer to spread throughout her body, ultimately taking her life.
