Broward County Personal Injury Lawyer

Lawlor, White & Murphey

Skilled Personal Injury Trial Attorneys Protect The Rights Of Injured Accident Victims In Broward County

Florida law permits injured parties to recover compensatory damages when another person causes an accident or somehow causes their injuries. This statement initially seems clear-cut, but most injured parties may be uncertain where to turn for help in recovering fair compensation for personal injuries and compensation may even be the furthest thing from their minds while recovering from serious physical harm. Most injured parties quickly learn, however, that they need fair compensation in order to aid in their actual physical recoveries—medical expenses pile up quickly, and the responsible party should be held accountable for the negligent or reckless actions that caused the injury in the first place. Whether you are a resident of Hollywood, were visiting the area on vacation, or are a seasonal resident, you deserve just compensation if you were injured in an accident that was caused by someone else’s careless actions. At Lawlor, White & Murphey, a knowledgeable Hollywood personal injury lawyer and investigative staff will keep you 100% apprised of your case progress while handling every aspect of pursuing your claim for fair compensation so that you can focus on recovering from your physical injuries and moving on with your life.

Establishing Your Right to Compensation in a Hollywood Personal Injury Lawsuit

Florida law establishes certain minimum threshold standards that must be satisfied in order to pursue a formal lawsuit for compensation in a personal injury case in Hollywood. In legal circles, this is known as the “serious injury” threshold, and generally requires that your injuries result in:

  • Serious and permanent loss of an important bodily function
  • Significant and permanent disfigurement or scarring
  • Injuries that, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, are permanent, or
  • Death

When an injury does not rise to the level required under Florida’s serious injury law, the injured party is generally not entitled to recover compensation from the person who caused the accident. Many clients read this four-part list and think that only the most severe of injuries will qualify—but the law is really designed to allow recovery in any case where the injury prevents you from performing in your daily life, while simultaneously preventing frivolous lawsuits seeking compensation for extremely minor injuries.

For example, in most cases, even a broken wrist will rise to the level of a serious injury because it impairs an important bodily function—namely, accomplishing any activity for which you may require the use of your wrists, such as writing, typing, or lifting.

This is where getting to know our personal injury clients on a personal level allows us to provide much more effective legal representation. Injuries impact people differently. In every case we take on, we thoroughly investigate and gather evidence to make a strong argument detailing how the injury has specifically impacted your life so that we can maximize your compensation award and hold the responsible party accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Determining the value of non-economic damages requires a more subjective analysis, as these damages can include elements such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional anguish caused by permanent or ongoing disfigurement or scarring
  • Trauma caused by the accident
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Loss of a loved one’s companionship in a wrongful death case

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Hollywood

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Should I speak with the insurance company if I'm in an accident?

What do I have to do to file a personal injury case in Hollywood, Florida?

Your first step should be to schedule a consultation with an experienced lawyer. Usually, negotiation with the relevant insurance companies begins the process of recovering compensation for your injuries. While you can make the insurance claim on your own, exercise caution in accepting a settlement award and remember that most initial offers will undervalue your case. We can negotiate with your own insurance company and a third-party insurance company on your behalf. Filing an actual lawsuit for personal injuries requires going to the courts and filing formal documents, which we can also complete for you.

If the insurance policy agreed that I deserve compensation for my injuries, why would they send me an initial settlement offer that undervalues my personal injury case?

While many don’t realize it, even your own insurance company is likely to undervalue your case because all insurance companies are motivated by profit, which means they will always attempt to minimize their liability even if you clearly deserve compensation. This is an unfortunate reality and often leads to multiple rounds of offers and counteroffers, which is where the help of a skilled personal injury attorney becomes valuable.
