Personal Injury, Hurricane and Property Damage Attorneys in Bonita Springs, FL

If you or a loved one have been injured in an auto accident, slip and fall, by a dog bite or anyone or anything else, or your home was devastated by one of Florida’s notorious hurricanes, you may not know what you need to do to recover financially.

Do you call the insurance company? Are you just going to be stuck dealing with the monetary consequences and live with the results? Or should you speak with an attorney?

If you were injured due to another person’s negligence, like an irresponsible dog owner let their aggressive pet run around without a leash and you were bitten, or a drunk driver hit your car, it’s in your best interest to speak with an attorney.

As citizens and community members, we all have a legal duty to one another, specifically to do no harm. When people act negligently and without regard for the potential consequences their actions can have for others, they can be held financially accountable when other people are injured due to those actions.

For example, if there’s a spill in a grocery store, the store and its employees have a responsibility to clean it up as soon as possible to prevent people from slipping and falling. If they fail to do so and their inaction results in someone else’s injury, they can be held liable because they could have prevented the slip and fall as well as the ensuing consequences that event has on the injured party. The same can be said for dog bites and many auto accidents and boat accidents.
