Common Types of Personal Injury Cases Handled by Lawyers in Tallahassee

Do you need a personal injury lawyer in Tallahassee? Answering this question starts with understanding what a personal injury lawyer does. In general, personal injury lawyers help people who have suffered injuries due to circumstances beyond their control. If your injuries are someone else’s (or a company’s) fault, you may be entitled to significant financial compensation, and hiring a personal injury lawyer will be the first step in the process of seeking the financial compensation you deserve.

There are several types of personal injury cases—and some lawyers only focus on handling certain types. At Searcy Denney, however, our lawyers handle all types of personal injury cases. No matter what happened, we can help you understand your situation; and, if you have a personal injury claim in Tallahassee, our lawyers can fight to recover just compensation on your behalf.

Do You Have a Personal Injury Claim in Tallahassee?

So, do you need a personal injury lawyer? If you suffered injuries due to any of the following, we encourage you to contact us promptly for a free consultation:

Auto Accidents

Auto accidents are among the most common types of personal injury cases our lawyers handle in Tallahassee. If you were injured in a car, motorcycle, truck or SUV accident, our lawyers can conduct an investigation to prove who was at fault in the collision. Then, using the evidence we collect during our investigation, we can fight for a fair settlement on your behalf while you focus on your physical and emotional recovery.

Boating Accidents

Boating is a way of life for many Tallahassee residents. From Lake Jackson to the Gulf of Mexico, if you were injured in a boating accident, our lawyers can help you seek the financial compensation you deserve. Boating accident cases frequently involve insurance claims as well—and, here too, conducting a thorough investigation as soon as possible can be critical for maximizing your chances of a full financial recovery.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Dog bites and other animal attacks can result in severe physical injuries and serious emotional trauma. Florida’s personal injury laws cover these cases as well; and, if you or your child was bitten or attacked in Tallahassee, our lawyers can fight to hold the appropriate party accountable. Like other types of personal injury cases, individuals and families who have dog bite and animal attack cases can seek just compensation for their medical expenses, lost earnings, other out-of-pocket costs, and non-financial losses such as pain, suffering, emotional trauma and loss of enjoyment of life.

Golf Cart Accidents

Riding on a golf cart should not be dangerous. Unfortunately, in far too many cases, it is. Careless, aggressive and distracted drivers present serious risks to golf cart drivers and passengers. If you got hit while riding on a golf cart in Tallahassee, you should speak with a personal injury lawyer about filing an insurance claim as soon as possible.

Major Catastrophes

We also represent victims following major catastrophes. This includes personal injury cases involving aviation accidents, railroad accidents, building collapses and other life-altering events. As you might expect, these cases are often exceedingly complex, so it is essential to have a team of highly-experienced personal injury lawyers on your side. At Searcy Denney, our personal injury lawyers have helped victims and their families win billions of dollars in financial compensation. We can use our experience to help you no matter what happened—and no matter how big the company is that we need to sue on your behalf.

Medical Mistakes

Medical mistakes are alarmingly common. As a result, if you have concerns about the care you or a member of your family received at a healthcare facility in Tallahassee, you should not ignore them. Medical malpractice cases present a variety of unique challenges as well, but at Searcy Denney we handle these challenging cases on a regular basis. We know what it takes to hold hospitals, doctors’ offices and other healthcare providers accountable, and our experience includes helping patients and families recover just compensation for diagnostic errors, surgical errors, medication errors and virtually all other types of medical mistakes.

Pedestrian, Bicycle and Scooter Accidents

If you were injured while walking, jogging, biking or scootering in Tallahassee, you may have a personal injury claim against the driver who hit you. Pedestrian accidents and other similar types of accidents often result in severe traumatic injuries—and these injuries leave victims facing substantial long-term costs. Our lawyers regularly handle these cases as well. We can quickly conduct an investigation to gather the evidence we need to prove liability; and, with this evidence in hand, we can fight to recover the compensation you deserve for your financial and non-financial losses.

Premises-Related Accidents

Premises-related accidents are also among the most common types of personal injury cases we handle. These cases are governed by Florida’s premises liability laws. Under these laws, different types of property owners and tenants (i.e., homeowners and businesses) can be held liable in different circumstances; so, here too, it is critical to have a highly experienced personal injury lawyer on your side. Whether you slipped, tripped or got injured in any other type of premises-related accident in Tallahassee, we can help make sure you do not settle for less than you deserve.

Product-Related Accidents

We also handle all types of product-related accidents. If you got hurt when a product broke, failed, caught fire, exploded or didn’t do what you expected it to, you should talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer promptly in this situation as well.
