Personal Injury
A personal injury is any harm caused to any person, such as a broken bone, a cut or a bruise. These injuries may result from the negligence acts or admissions of another person or business entity. In Florida, negligence is defined as the failure to exercise reasonable care or such care that a reasonable prudent person would have exercised n the same or similar circumstance. If a personal injury results from the negligent acts or admission from another then you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. Compensation may consist of money for medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, permanent injury and disfigurement, and loss of income or ability to earn. The amount of compensation is determined by nature of your injury and the circumstances of the incident.
Claims for personal injury may arise from automobile or truck accidents, product defects, medical malpractice, construction accidents, defects in someone’s property or premise, accidents or injuries arising our of the work place, and many other circumstances. If you have suffered from any injury caused by another person or business you should consult with an attorney to discuss the circumstances and whether another person or business is legally responsible or liable to pay compensation. Each fact pattern involved in a personal injury case is different from another. No matter how we would like as attorneys and legal professionals to make a check list or create rules that would help us to evaluate in a systematic and a uniform way the cases that we are presented with it is not possible to turn it into a mathematical equation. You must sit down with the client and evaluate so many multiple factors and create an opinion to a client. Ultimately the opinion will depend upon the experiences and skills of the attorney who is evaluating your case. We invite you to look at the attorneys at Burnetti, P.A. and know that we seek to create an environment that allows you to “get to know” the person in your attorney and not just add up all of the years that each attorney has practiced in a cumulative that number and find out what law school they attended. At Burnetti, P.A. we want you to get to know the person and hopefully make a connection with that lawyer as a person to assure you and your family the kind of service you deserve.
