How Our Attorneys Can Help You
At Pike & Lustig, LLP, our skilled West Palm Beach business & personal injury attorneys can assist you in a number of ways following an accident and injuries. First, we can fully evaluate the circumstances of your case to help you determine liability in the accident by identifying any negligent parties. These parties can include drivers, manufacturers, government entities, and more. Even if the accident was partially your fault, you may still be able to recover for part of your losses under Florida law.
In some cases, our attorneys are able to communicate and negotiate with the insurance company of the responsible party to obtain a settlement that adequately covers your losses. This tactic can help you avoid the litigation process so that you can receive your compensation in a more timely manner. Unfortunately, insurance companies do not always offer a sufficient settlement, especially in cases involving catastrophic injuries. In such situations, preparing and filing a legal claim will likely be necessary for you to fully recover. Florida law only gives you a limited amount of time to file a claim, so you want to discuss your situation with a member of our team as soon as you can following an accident.
In order to succeed in recovering in your personal injury case, you must prove that the adverse party acted in a negligent manner. Negligence can take many forms in personal injury cases, including but not limited to:
- Distracted or drunk driving;
- Violating traffic, health, or safety laws;
- Failure to keep premises in reasonably safe condition for visitors; or
- Manufacturing companies selling defective products with parts that may malfunction.
Our West Palm Beach attorneys fully understand the laws of negligence and the evidence needed to prove negligence in court. Often, gathering strong evidence can assist us in negotiations for a favorable settlement agreement prior to trial. If the other party refuses to offer an appropriate settlement for your losses, we will provide zealous representation at trial to obtain a successful verdict. We have extensive litigation experience and know how to make the legal process as efficient and stress-free for you as possible.
