When We Can Help You
In most cases, you should contact
us immediately after a serious injury to yourself or a serious
injury or death of a family member, since it may be one of the
most important things you can do to protect yourself and your
family. As you would suspect, there are often times special
local, state or federal laws that apply to certain types of
accidents – and we may need to get special notices out to the
appropriate parties as quickly as possible. The sooner we get
involved in the case, the sooner we can gather the appropriate
evidence, evaluate the facts and obtain witness statements.
Remember, there are certain statutes of limitation that may
apply – and if a lawsuit is not filed within this specified
period of time – you or your family will be forever barred
from doing so in the future.
A wrongful death action is a
statutory right to sue a person or business responsible for
causing a death. This statutory right is given to the
surviving family members of a deceased. In order to bring a
wrongful death action, a death must have been caused by the
wrongful, negligent, careless, or reckless act of a person,
company or municipality. The Florida Wrongful Death Statute
was adopted so that the family members of a deceased can bring
the legal action that the deceased would have brought, had
death not occurred.
If we are not retained immediately
(which is generally the best thing to do), we can always be
retained anytime prior to the formal resolution of the Serious
Injury or Wrongful Death Claim – as long as the statute of
limitation has not yet expired.
What We Can Do To Help You
Our law firm understands that
serious injuries or even death sustained as a result of the
negligence, carelessness or even intentional acts of others
can be devastating – not only for the injured person(s) but
their family. For serious injury cases, we will focus on your
immediate needs of getting your medical bills paid in a timely
fashion, making sure you do not suffer economically due to a
wage loss, and ensuring that you are getting the best quality
medical treatment for your injuries. If you also have a
property damage loss (such as a damaged motor vehicle) in
addition to your physical, mental and emotional injuries, we
will assist you with this situation as well. For wrongful
death claims, we will focus on the immediate needs of dealing
with the local, state or federal authorities in their
investigation of the wrongful death, dealing with the county
Health Department to conduct an autopsy to determine the cause
of death, dealing with the county Vital Statistics Department
to obtain certified Death Certificates and dealing with the
funeral home to assist with the burial planning.
Once your immediate needs are met,
we will work closely with your insurance company, the at-fault
parties’ insurance company, and your medical providers as well
as any other relevant parties to insure that all of your needs
are being handled appropriately and quickly. Our goal will be
to expeditiously resolve your personal injury claim or
wrongful death claim for the maximum amount of compensation
available for your past, present and future medical bills,
your past, present and future lost wages and your past,
present and future pain & suffering, mental anguish and
emotional distress.
Personal injury claims and
lawsuits arise when people are injured by the negligent,
careless or intentional acts of others, or injured from
defective products. Wrongful death claims and lawsuits are
almost identical except that the person actually died from the
injuries sustained by the negligent, careless or intentional
acts of others or death caused by a defective product. If a
person or company is determined to be legally liable for
injuring (or killing) someone else due to their negligence or
carelessness or even intentional acts, then they may be
required to pay the injured person (or their family) monetary
damages that are designed to put a person back to where they
were prior to their injury (i.e. compensatory damages). In
certain instances, punitive damages may also be awarded to the
injured person (or their family) if the actions of the
at-fault party were so extreme. Punitive damages are intended
to punish the at-fault party and prevent them from harming
others again in the future.
You should hire The Law Offices of
Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. to assist you with your Serious
Injury or Wrongful Death case because there are many potential
hazards in attempting to resolve these types of claims on your
own. Foremost among them is that many insurance companies
(even your own) may deny coverage for legitimate claims or
deny injured people a fair and reasonable settlement for their
injuries. Your insurance policy alone is not enough to
guarantee you coverage or a fair representation from your
insurance carrier.
The Law Offices of Joseph A.
Porcelli, P.A. has represented numerous injured parties in
disputes with their insurance company or the at-fault parties’
insurance company with regard to personal injury claims or
wrongful death claims, quite possibly even someone that you
know. Most people do not have the experience of resolving a
serious injury or wrongful death claim with their insurance
company or the at-fault parties’ insurance company and are at
a decided disadvantage when they attempt to do so on their
own. Our years of experience in assisting injured people helps
level the playing field to your benefit by maximizing the
value of your serious injury or wrongful death settlement in
an expedient and professional manner.
How You Pay For Our Legal Services
We offer a FREE
SAME DAY CONSULTATION and we always accept the above Serious Injury and
Wrongful Death cases on Contingency Fee Basis. Putting it another way, if we do not obtain a recovery on your behalf,
you will owe us NOTHING in legal fees nor do you have to
reimburse us for your costs or expenses of our legal
representation. Furthermore, if either the at-fault insurance
company and/or your insurance company did not follow strict
guidelines in evaluating and paying your claim, they may be
subject to a potential “Bad Faith” lawsuit, which may provide
you with additional compensation beyond that listed in the
applicable insurance policies.
