If you have been injured by the negligence or wrongful conduct of another, you may be able to recover compensation for your legal damages, which include your past and future medical expenses, lost wages, mental anguish, and pain and suffering.

The right time to call a skilled Orlando personal injury attorney is now. Florida law provides a strict statute of limitations for filing a personal injury case, giving victims four years from the date of an accident and injury to file a claim. Preparing a claim can take time, however, and often involves extensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident in question. Investigation can help identify all possible negligent parties, gather evidence of their negligence, gain a full understanding of the extent of your injuries and the nature of related losses, among other things. Having all of this information is important to prepare and file the most effective claim possible. For this reason, you never want to wait until the last minute to call a personal injury lawyer to discuss a potential case. Instead, as soon as your health is stable, you should consult with an attorney in our office for a free case evaluation and legal counsel. Below are answers to some of the questions the attorneys at Hornsby Law Group encounter most frequently as we help people in Orlando, Winter Park and central Florida with their legal needs in areas such as auto accidents, workers’ compensation, homeowners insurance claims, and investment fraud. If you have other questions and need to speak with an attorney in one of these areas, contact our office for a free consultation with one of our able and experienced lawyers. The insurance company defense lawyers may argue that lack of a seat belt contributed to your injuries, and they may also try to claim you were negligent in other ways, such as speeding, not paying enough attention or not trying hard enough to avoid being hit. If they are successful in attaching some of the blame to you, your monetary award will be reduced proportionately. As your attorneys, we fight to make sure you are not unfairly stuck with blame for the accident you did not cause. The workers’ compensation system uses an administrative claims process instead of a lawsuit, where you are not required to prove your employer was at fault or negligent in order to recover compensation for an on-the-job injury. While in theory this should make it easier to receive compensation, you are at the same time prohibited from suing your employer for damages beyond what workers’ compensation provides. A limited exception exists when the injury was caused by an intentional act of the employer which was virtually certain to result in injury or death. An example may be an employer who forces you to work in a dangerous position without necessary safety protections required by law.
