Named for the orange groves that were once present in this community, Naranja is recognized as a census-designated place connected to the Miami-Dade area. Although small – Naranja’s population is only about 8,000 – tragedy can still befall those who live, work, and play in this tiny community. A slip and fall, trip and fall or car accident can leave you and your family struggling with serious injuries for months or years, while a slip and fall can deprive you permanently of your mobility and independence.

The process of recovering compensation for your personal injuries can be convoluted and difficult for the ordinary person to complete – especially if he or she attempts to do so while wrestling with the physical and mental effects of a serious or catastrophic injury. In general, though, the recovery process proceeds through the following stages:
In most cases, the process begins with an investigation conducted by your attorney into the facts and circumstances of your injury accident. This is completed so that at-fault parties can be identified and your legal theory of recovery developed.
Next, the litigation process begins in earnest with the injury victim’s filing of a complaint against the at-fault party or parties. This document outlines the facts and legal authority that the victim believes entitles him or her to a financial recovery. The at-fault party or parties will then have an opportunity to respond to the claims of the injury victim as well as to raise any claims he or she may have against the injury victim.
If the case is not resolved based on these initial pleadings, the case will proceed through the discovery process. During discovery, each side deposes witnesses and discloses evidence that each side believes will be important to its legal theory. At the conclusion of the discovery process, one side may be entitled to judgment as a matter of law if there are no genuine facts in controversy and the law is clear as to who should prevail.
Otherwise, the case will proceed to trial before a judge or jury. Each side will have an opportunity to present evidence in support of its own claims as well as to rebut the claims of the opposing party. At the conclusion of the trial, the judge or jury will enter a verdict in favor of one party or the other.
