Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

When clients choose to work with our team, they can expect dedicated legal professionals determined to fight for their best interests in every situation. Being injured in an accident can completely derail one’s life. When the negligent actions of another person are responsible for your injuries and suffering, our Fort Myers personal injury attorneys will fight for you to be compensated.

A skilled attorney from our firm will be able to help you secure medical treatment and a proper diagnosis, take actions to preserve the evidence and build your case, and assist you in calculating the full financial impact of your injuries and the amount you have a right to claim in compensation.

Most importantly, an attorney can bring your case from initial discussion through to resolution, negotiating on your behalf and even going to court if necessary. Insurance companies are trained to "spin" or interpret your case in a manner to minimize the value of your claim and justify paying you less money. Pittman Law Firm, P.L. may be able to help you secure financial compensation for your injuries so that you are not forced to pay the price for the other person's negligence.

How Much is My Injury Claim Worth?

If you have been injured in a slip and fall, car accident, or any other act of negligence, then you are probably wondering how much monetary compensation you will receive for your medical bills and damaged property. Not only do injuries affect you physically, but also emotionally, mentally, and financially. Luckily, the law allows injury victims to seek restitution from the individual or entity that was legally responsible for the incident.

There is no set calculator for personal injury damages. The amount of compensation you receive is proportionate to the losses you have sustained. The damages you can claim in a personal injury claim may include:

  • Compensation for all medical treatment, rehabilitation, and other hospitalization costs
  • Compensation for all lost income - if your injury kept you from being able to earn a living, then you may be eligible to be reimbursed for lost wages. If your ability to work is affected long-term, then you could be compensated for future lost income as well.
  • Compensation for damaged property - If your car, clothing, or other personal items were damaged in the accident, then you be paid for the repairs or fully compensated if they are lost for good.
  • Compensation for pain and suffering - If you are in serious pain and discomfort as a result of the accident, then you can be monetarily reimbursed for that.
  • Compensation for emotional distress, pain, and anguish - If you are emotionally, mentally or psychologically impacted by your injury or the accident itself, then you could receive additional compensation.
  • Compensation for loss of enjoyment - Has your injury caused you to lose out on the enjoyment of life, past hobbies, exercise or other types of recreational activities that you enjoyed prior to the accident, then that could lead to additional compensation.
  • Compensation for loss of consortium - This type of restitution is awarded to the family members of the injured party when their relationship dynamic or sexual relationship is impacted by their injury.

Our Fort Myers personal injury attorneys can help you determine how much your case might be worth during a free consultation. You can count on us to fight for every penny you deserve.

What is Considered Negligence?

There are many types of negligence cases, and while most situations are straightforward, it’s important to know and understand how the different types of negligence impact a case. 

  • Gross negligence is the most serious form of negligent behavior or conduct. The victim would need to prove the at-fault party seriously violated their duty of care through reckless behavior that caused harm and injury to another person. 
  • Comparative negligence is used to defend against liability claims. An attorney may claim the victim was partially to blame or in some way contributed to the accident. If argued successfully, a comparative negligence defense can negate a plaintiff’s claim for damages. 
  • Vicarious negligence refers to a party or individual who is not directly liable for an accident they caused. This form of negligence is usually applied in cases involving young children or employees. If the direct cause of the accident is not liable, then liability is assumed by an associated party. An example of vicarious negligence would be if the parents of a minor child were held accountable for their child’s liability.
