  • medical bills
  • lost wages
  • pain and suffering
  • and other damages.

Back and Neck Injury

Amputation Injury

The surgery is often permanent and requires extensive rehabilitation in order for a person to make an effective transition to their new physical circumstances. Hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer can help get you the financial compensation you need to get your life back.

Electrocution

Electrocution victims may suffer burns, organ damage, or even death; they may be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit if someone else’s negligence caused the electrocution. Burns, abrasions, and lacerations are also common types of personal injury that can lead to a lawsuit in Sarasota.

Wrongful Death

In worse cases, an injury from a personal injury accident can cause death. Surviving family members may be able to file a wrongful death case. A wrongful death case is a legal action that can be brought against an individual or company when the negligent or wrongful act of another caused the death of someone. This action is typically brought by a relative of the deceased, such as their spouse, parent, or child, asserting that their loved one would not have died if it were not for the negligent or wrongful act of another. Wrongful death cases cover both non-intentional and intentional acts, including:

  • medical malpractice
  • car accidents
  • defective products
  • workplace injuries
  • and criminal activity.

If a jury finds negligence in a case involving a wrongful death, monetary damages may be awarded to compensate for lost wages and pain and suffering.

  • pain and suffering
  • emotional distress
  • inconvenience
  • destruction of one's quality of life
  • scarring or disfigurement
  • and loss of enjoyment of activities.

Economic Damages

Economic damages are losses that arise from an injury or harm to another’s property, business, or finances. Economic damages include:

  • medical expenses
  • lost wages
  • repair costs for damaged property
