MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS

When you are injured in an auto accident, you need to seek medical attention right away (within 14 days) so your P.I.P. Personal Injury Protection benefits will apply. Each driver in Florida is required to maintain P.I.P. insurance in the amount of $10,000.00 which will cover 80% of your medical bills and 60% of your lost wages. This coverage is also referred to as No-Fault insurance.

At Mowrey Law Firm our attorneys and dedicated staff are here to assist you through the difficult time after you have been injured due to the negligence of the operator of a motor vehicle. We understand what it means to be injured, out of work and hurting. The stress and fatigue that occurs as a result of another’s negligence affects you and your entire family. We are here to help you recover for your losses and damages.

Many auto accidents are caused by the driver texting or talking on a cell phone while driving. In Florida, courts all over the state are allowing for punitive damage claims due to texting and/or talking on a cell phone and causing an accident that severely injures and often takes the lives of innocent people.

DAMAGES

In a negligence case there are two types of damages: economic and non-economic.

You may need to present copies of records to show what your actual losses have been, are and will be.

Non-economic damages are damages for loss of enjoyment for the capacity of life, pain & suffering, mental strain, fatigue, loss of consortium (claim of a loved one’s loss of companionship, love, affection, etc.) and punitive damages. These damages are not based on a record that can be shown but on real emotion and feeling. These damages are quite often the larger damages awarded and recovered.

MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS

Every day more and more people are injured in Florida while riding motorcycles. In Florida, an operator of a motorcycle is not required to wear a helmet, only protective eye covering. Accidents on motorcycles can have a devastating effect on the lives of those injured and their family.

P.I.P. coverage does not apply to motorcycles in Florida and therefore an injured party from a motorcycle accident can seek damages for economic and non-economic damages without having to pass an injury threshold, as is required in a P.I.P. coverage case.

Coverage for damages can come from many different areas:
– The owner of the vehicle that caused the accident
– The owner of the motorcycle if driver is not the owner
– The driver of the motorcycle’s insurance (uninsured / underinsured motorist coverage)
– Leasing company

You need an attorney that knows how to locate the coverage you need to help you recover damages for your losses.
Property Damage to your motorcycle can be difficult to fully recover. Property damage claims to motorcycle owners are very important when your bike requires replacement or substantial repairs. The insurance company wants to settle for the cheapest parts and replacement they can, don’t let them. Let the attorneys at Mowrey Law Firm help you recover all that you deserve.

TRUCKING ACCIDENTS

More and more individuals are injured in trucking accidents every day. The trucking industry is under a strain to deliver their loads at a break neck pace and innocent people are severely injured and killed as a result. It is important to have an attorney that understands how the trucking industry works and to how to recover.

The trucking industry is highly regulated by the Federal government and the State of Florida. The attorneys at Mowrey Law know how to determine if the driver of the truck has violated Federal and Florida law to help you recover damages for your losses. The industry mandates drivers keep proper log books, bills of lading, permits, weigh logs and many other requirements.

The liable parties in trucking accidents can often times be many. Quite often the liability will be that of the following: the driver, owner, employer, leasing company, trailer manufacturer, trailer owner, lessor of tractor and/or trailer and even the owner of the product or freight being transported.

The hiring practices of the trucking company, the safety program and the maintenance records are vital to analysis of the liability.

WRONGFUL DEATH

Wrongful Death Claims in Florida are governed by the Florida Wrongful Death Act, Florida Statute 786.16. These claims arise when the negligence or wrongful acts of one person or entity causes the death of another. The Wrongful Death Act allows for the individuals who relied upon the deceased for monetary, emotional, and structural support to bring a claim against the negligent party to seek damages. The spouse, parents, and/or children have the ability to file suit to recover for their losses.

The attorneys at Mowrey Law Firm can assist you in understanding the laws that apply to potential wrongful death claims. When families are dealing with the loss of a loved one, the attorneys at Mowrey Law Firm are here to help you through these difficult times.

MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Medical Malpractice is defined as the improper, unskilled, or negligent treatment of a patient by a physician, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, or other health care professional. A person who alleges negligent medical malpractice must prove four elements: (1) a duty of care was owed by the physician; (2) the physician violated the applicable standard of care; (3) the person suffered a compensable injury; and (4) the injury was caused in fact and proximately caused by the substandard conduct. The burden of proving these elements is on the plaintiff in a malpractice lawsuit. Medical Malpractice claims can arise from many situations such as: Hospital negligence, doctor negligence, improper surgery, negligent surgery, fatigued medical professionals, birthing injuries or improper communication.

Pursuant to Florida law, there are very specific requirements in order to pursue a Medical Malpractice claim. If these requirements are not completed in a timely fashion, your claim may be forever barred. At Mowrey Law Firm we have the resources and relationships with all the necessary parties to properly review, evaluate and handle medical malpractice claims.

You have 2 years to file a lawsuit on a medical malpractice claim.
