Serving Personal Injury Victims in South Florida

Personal injury accidents can happen when you least expect them. An infinite number of scenarios could lead to a personal injury. These situations may occur in a car, on a boat, walking on city sidewalks, or even testing a brand-new blender. These accidents are devastating to individuals who suffer from injuries that could keep them from experiencing a fulfilling life. Although you can’t fully protect yourself from the negligence of others, you can protect your injury claim with the help of a competent South Florida personal injury attorney who makes your recovery his top priority.

At Baker Legal Team, Attorney Robert Baker is Board Certified by the Florida Bar to handle complex personal injury cases (less than 1% of attorneys in Florida are board-certified). As a former prosecutor, Robert Baker brings his insider knowledge to you for a more compelling case. Our firm can’t undo the trauma of suffering an accident because of another person’s lack of care, but we can make it possible for you to seek the treatment you deserve.

How Do You Know If You Have a Legitimate Personal Injury Case?

Florida personal injury laws provide avenues for people who have survived severe accidents and sustained bodily injuries to receive fair compensation to cover various expenses that result from the accident. A personal injury claim or lawsuit can stem from a reckless, careless, negligent, or intentional act by another party. Victims pursue such claims when the responsible party fails to uphold their duty of care.

“Duty of care” is a legal obligation that we all have to consider the safety of others. We are generally required to act toward others with the watchfulness, attention, caution, and prudence that a reasonable person in these circumstances would use. A person whose actions do not meet the standard of care would be considered negligent. When those actions contribute to a personal injury, you need a personal injury lawyer to hold that person liable for the harm they have caused you.

Types of Personal Injuries in South Florida

In legal terms, a personal injury can be any injury to a person’s body, emotions, or reputation. The most common basis for personal injury claims is negligence. Still, strict liability (when a defendant is held liable for an action regardless of what their intent or mental state was at the time, common in product liability accidents where they did not intend for their product to cause harm) and intentional wrongs (an intentional act of the defendant, such as battery or assault) can also be grounds for a personal injury suit.

No matter what kind of personal injury you may be suffering from, you deserve the help of an experienced attorney to help put your mind at ease. Baker Legal Team can help hold negligent parties accountable for injuries such as:

  • Dog bites
  • Broken bones
  • Whiplash
  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injuries
  • Loss of limb
  • Severe lacerations or puncture wounds
  • Internal bleeding
  • Burn injuries
  • Significant scarring and disfigurement
  • Paralysis
  • Wrongful death

We also fight for clients who have sustained psychological distress due to their injuries. It is not uncommon for injury victims to endure feelings of dread, worry, sorrow, and even suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Sometimes, the mental anguish that victims endure after suffering an injury can be more painful than any of their physical pain. For victims suffering from emotional trauma, Robert Baker will work diligently to obtain compensation for necessary counseling and therapy to get them back to feeling like themselves again.

Insurance companies seldomly offer victims a fair settlement because they are looking out for their own wallets, so do not feel pressured to accept a lowball offer because of your financial situation. With Baker Legal Team, you will benefit from having practiced negotiators on your side who will fight tirelessly for your interests.

Compensation For Personal Injury Victims in South Florida

If you were hurt because a person breached their duty of care, you deserve legal representation to protect your interests. Injury victims are legally entitled to seek compensation to recover from a variety of losses you incur due to the accident, including, but not limited to:

  • Past and future medical expenses
  • Lost wages, including future lost wages and benefits
  • Diminished earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Physical disfigurement
  • Permanent disabilities
  • Mental anguish
  • Loss of companionship
  • Pain and suffering
  • In-home rehabilitation expenses
  • Funeral expenses
  • Physical therapy costs
  • Household out-of-pocket expenses

In some cases of extreme negligence, reckless disregard for the life and safety of others, or intentional harm done, it may be possible to recover punitive damages. The court may award punitive damages in cases where compensatory damages may be insufficient. They also serve to punish the liable party and set an example for others to be more careful.

There may be one or more liable parties in your personal injury case, and they may be individuals, corporations, or a combination of the two. When you are unsure of whom to hold responsible for your injuries, you should turn to a knowledgeable lawyer who can help you establish negligence.
