We Handle All Personal Injury Cases
Gross & Schuster handles all types of cases in Navarre, including:
Car Accidents
Car accidents are often caused by someone else’s negligence, such as texting while driving, speeding, or failing to yield the right-of-way. You may have the right to recover compensation from the at-fault driver, as well as compensation through your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance.
Uber & Lyft Accidents
Many people think of Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare services as safe alternative forms of transportation. However, their business model incentivizes unsafe driving habits, fatigued driving, and completing as many trips as possible. If a negligent rideshare driver injured you, contact our law firm for legal assistance.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle accidents often cause catastrophic injuries when the full weight and force of a motor vehicle are applied to a cyclist. Our law firm can handle your legal claim while you focus on your recovery and family.
Truck Accidents
Truck accidents are often complex cases because they may involve multiple liable parties. Our law firm can investigate the case and pursue full compensation from all responsible parties.
Bus Accidents
Bus accidents may involve lawsuits against corporate entities or governmental agencies. Our bus accident lawyers can help you navigate these complex legal claims.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents may cause catastrophic injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries or paralysis. Our team can compassionately guide you through the legal process so you can focus on your recovery.
Dog Bites
Dog owners and handlers can be held legally liable for dog bites that occur when they fail to restrict their animals. A dog bite lawyer can fight for fair compensation after you are injured due to their negligence.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Florida property owners can be held responsible for slip and fall accidents that occur on their property when they act negligently. We can fight to make things right.
Brain Injuries
The brain is a complex organ, so any damage to it can cause significant effects, including losses in cognitive function, personality changes, and motor function. Our brain injury lawyers can fight for the compensation you will need for future medical expenses and to compensate for diminished earning capacity.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are those that have a significant impact on your life or body function, such as:
- Amputations
- Paralysis
- Spinal cord injuries
- Extreme emotional injuries
- Deformity-causing injuries
- Burns and scarring
Our team can fight to pursue the justice and accountability you deserve after you have been seriously injured due to someone else’s negligence.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death claim allows you to seek financial redress from the parties responsible for your loved one’s death. Our wrongful death attorneys can help identify and pursue justice against them.
What Damages Are Available to Accident Victims?
Florida personal injury victims have the right to seek compensation for their economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages compensate victims for direct financial losses they suffer as a result of the accident, such as:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Diminished earning capacity
- Property damage
- Funeral and burial expenses (in wrongful death cases)
They also recover compensation for non-economic damages, which include intangible losses, such as:
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Emotional distress
- Disabilities and impairments
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of consortium
These damages include payment for losses you’ve already experienced, as well as those you can reasonably anticipate occurring in the future, such as future medical expenses and pain and suffering.
Personal Injury FAQ:
How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?
Every personal injury case is unique. The potential value of your case can depend on many factors specific to your case.
Some questions that may be asked to determine the value of your claim include:
- What was your health and age before the accident happened?
- What types of injuries did you suffer?
- Are your injuries permanent or temporary?
- Have your injuries affected your ability to earn a living?
- Are you permanently disabled and unable to work?
- How has the accident affected your life?
- What types of medical treatment did you require?
- Will you need future medical treatments?
- Have your injuries affected your relationships with loved ones?
- What is the value of the damages you have suffered?
An experienced personal injury attorney can carefully investigate your case and determine its value.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Personal injury lawyers generally work on a contingency fee basis, meaning payment for their services is conditioned on their ability to secure compensation on your behalf. If they are unable to secure an award or settlement, you do not owe them for their services. If they recover compensation, they receive a percentage of the award. This information is outlined in your retainer agreement.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After an Accident in Florida?
The Florida statute of limitations sets a two-year time limit for most personal injury cases. This means that you have until the second-anniversary date of the accident to file a lawsuit against the party responsible for your injuries. If you file your case after this deadline, the court can dismiss your case as untimely filed, and you can lose your right to recover compensation through the courts. This deadline is critical, so don’t miss it.
What is Negligence and How Do I Prove It?
An experienced personal injury lawyer can help establish the legal elements of negligence (duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages) by securing evidence such as:
- Traffic laws or other applicable laws
- Photos or videos of the accident
- Witness statements
- Testimony from expert witnesses
- Business records
- Maintenance and personnel records
- Medical records
- Wage loss statements
- Accident reconstruction reports
- Testimony from family and friends about how the accident has impacted your life
At Gross & Schuster, we have extensive experience identifying, compiling, and preserving critical evidence in personal injury cases.
Will My Personal Injury Case Go to Trial?
Most personal injury cases do not go to trial. Instead, they are resolved through an out-of-court settlement, usually with an insurance company. However, sometimes insurance companies refuse to make a fair settlement offer or need additional incentives to resolve the case, and a lawsuit is necessary. When this happens, working with an experienced trial lawyer is vital.
Terence A. Gross is a board-certified civil trial lawyer, a distinction held by only a small percentage of licensed Florida lawyers who demonstrate a commitment and capacity in a specialized area of law. If your case goes to trial, you want him by your side.
How Long Will My Case Take?
Some personal injury cases may take a few months to settle, but others take a year or more to conclude. Several factors can affect how long your case takes, including how long it takes to reach maximum medical improvement, the willingness of the defendant to settle your case, and whether your case goes to trial. We can review your case and explain the potential timeline based on your specific situation.
