Listed below are some of the areas of Florida legal specialties that we handle:
A personal injury
is typically any injury to your physical or
emotional being, resulting from the negligence
of another. A personal injury
may be caused by negligence, accidental wrongdoing,
intentional wrongdoing or strict liability. Also called tort law, personal injury law
encompasses a full range of legal claims, from
wrongful death, auto accidents, and medical
malpractice to defective drugs, product liability,
and workers' compensation.
Negligence occurs when the person or person's
actions were unreasonably unsafe. Strict liability
can make a person or persons responsible
for damages their actions or products cause,
regardless of any fault on their part. Intentional
wrongdoings are those wrongs which the person
or persons knew or should have known would
occur through their actions or inactions. Some
examples of intentional wrongs are: assault,
battery, defamation, false imprisonment and
intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The main concern at the law firm of Mittelberg & Nicosia is to protect the rights of innocent victims
and to pursue justice for the damages caused by the responsible parties. The personal injury attorneys
you hire will first want to prove that the
defendant is in fact responsible for the injury.
After that has been established, the lawyer
may seek damages on your behalf. Injuries suffered
as a result of these types of accidents can
be severe and life altering. Our firm understands
that your immediate goals after going through
such trauma are to get your medical bills paid
and covered, make sure you do not suffer financially
through any lost wages, and make sure your
insurance company will pay for future treatment
relating to your injury.
In a personal injury case the injured person
may sue for monetary damages. Among the types of damages the injured party may recover are:
loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses. They include both present
and future expected losses. Generally, there
are two types of damages: compensatory and
punitive.
Compensatory damages attempt to put an injured person back in the position he
or she was in before being injured. In some cases, punitive damages are also
awarded in these lawsuits. Punitive damages are intended to punish wrongdoers
and prevent them from harming others.
The attorneys at Mittelberg & Nicosia are aggressive, accomplished,
well known and respected in the South Florida
area. We guide our Florida personal injury
clients through the legal, personal and financial
challenges they encounter on their way to recovery
from their accidents. WE ACHIEVE RESULTS.
Many personal injury cases are time sensitive
due to the statute of limitations placed on
them and we recommend they be handled in a
timely manner.
