Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Lakeland & Bartow

I handle personal injury cases in Lakeland and Bartow involving:

• Boating accidents - Lakeland is composed of 38 named lakes as well as many other unnamed bodies of water. With so many recreational waterways, boating and jet-skiing are popular activities. When boat operators do not obey the law or commit an infraction, such as driving while intoxicated, injuries can result. If you have been the victim of a boating accident, do not hesitate to retain my legal representation.
• Dog bites - Florida is a statutory strict liability state. In other words, a dog owner is liable for the damages suffered by any individual bitten by his or her dog, whether the dog has shown a pattern of viciousness in the past or not. If you were negligent, however, this will result in the owner's liability being reduced by the percentage that your negligence contributed to the accident. For more information about dog bite cases in Florida and to tell me about the particulars surrounding your personal injury claim, contact my office today!
• Motorcycle accidents - Motorcycle accidents can result in extremely traumatic injuries such as neck and back injuries, broken bones, road rash, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and more. It is important to document your injuries and property damages, and keep copies of your medical bills. There could be multiple parties responsible, from another driver, to the motorcycle manufacturer, to the city where the accident occurred (if a pothole or other road condition contributed to your accident). We can help you identify all liable parties and fight for the maximum compensation.
• Victim of crimes - Individuals who were injured as a result of a crime are eligible to pursue civil suits. These cases can occur in addition to the criminal prosecution of the offending party. I can help you seek compensation not only from the offender, but any other entities who contributed to the offender's actions or your injuries.
