Personal Injury and Medical
Malpractice Victims
Many sources have cited Pompano Beach, Florida as a top location for both permanent residences and vacation real estate. With over 100,000 people, the coastal city is bustling and is developed to bring out both the beautiful beachfront and the historic charm of downtown. People are always out and about enjoying the Florida sunshine, riding bikes, driving with the top down, or simply walking around town.
Like any other busy community, people who live or work in Pompano Beach are regularly at risk of being involved in a car accident, as are visitors to the city. About 254,000 people sustained injuries in Florida car crashes in 2016 alone, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and many of those car accidents took place in or around larger beachfront communities like Pompano Beach.
If you are seriously injured in a Florida car accident, you may find yourself facing extensive costs and losses. It is critical that you discuss your legal options for financial recovery with a Pompano Beach car accident lawyer at the Law Offices of Joseph I. Lipsky, P.A. as soon as possible.
Some car accident victims find their lives permanently changed after a crash due to catastrophic injuries that leave them with permanent disabilities. Such injuries can include spinal cord injuries that lead to paralysis and traumatic brain injuries that cause cognitive or physical impairments. The costs of living with a disability are extensive, especially because many disabilities prevent people from returning to their previous jobs and can limit earning potential.
However, with the rising costs of health care in the United States, even a relatively minor injury that eventually heals can result in extensive costs. Some common losses from any type of car accident injury include the following:
Medical Bills: Car crash victims can have bills for emergency transportation, emergency room care, hospitalization, diagnostic tests, surgeries, medications, medical equipment, physical therapy, home health care, and more.
Lost Income: Victims can lose income while they are in recovery and some people never regain their previous earning abilities after an injury.
Pain and Suffering: Many serious injuries can cause physical and emotional pain and suffering for victims, which can sometimes be chronic. The law allows victims to recover for noneconomic losses as well as tangible financial losses.
Determining the true value of all of your losses is essential to obtaining the compensation you need and deserve from your insurance company or from another party in a personal injury claim. Our firm has the resources needed to fully assess your losses and the best method of obtaining adequate payment.
