The Abrahamson & Uiterwyk Attorneys and Injury Law Team

“A system of hiring an attorney on an hourly basis rewards inefficiency, creates delays and commonly creates negative issues between the lawyer and the client. Representing clients on a contingency basis in which the law firm earns a percentage of the settlement, however, is much more rewarding for the client and the injury attorneys.”

– Erik Abrahamson, Injury Attorney & Partner

CONTACTA CON NOSTOTROS

Car Accidents: Florida roads are the fourth most dangerous in the United States on a per-capita basis, and deaths and injuries have increased dramatically in recent years. Florida personal injury law protects your right to pursue compensation, and it’s “modified comparative fault” principles allow you to seek at least some compensation so long as you were not more than 50% responsible for the accident.

Drunk Driving Accidents: Drunk driving accidents are utterly avoidable, yet they account for at least a quarter of all traffic fatalities in Florida. Many people don’t realize that you can win a DUI accident lawsuit even if the defendant is acquitted of DUI charges in criminal court.

Brain Injuries: Because the brain is the body’s command and control system, brain injuries tend to result in lifelong debilitation and even death. Unfortunately, in some cases, you might not even be aware of a brain injury until weeks or even months after an accident. Brain injury cases tend to be scientifically complex and can result in huge damages awards.

Product Liability: When a defective product injures you, you are entitled to more than just your money back – you are entitled to seek full compensation for all of your losses, both economic and non-economic. In certain cases, you can win a products liability lawsuit without having to prove that the defendant was at fault.

Birth Injuries: Nearly one percent of all deliveries result in birth injuries, not including birth defects that were already present while the baby was in its mother’s womb. While some of these injuries are not serious, some of them involve lifelong debilitation. Mishandled births can also cause injury to the mother.

Construction Accidents: Construction workers are killed and injured on the job at rates that are nothing short of deplorable. Although many of these accidents are covered under the workers’ compensation program, when the defendant is not the injured worker’s employer, it is possible to file an ordinary personal injury lawsuit.

Pedestrian Accidents: A car is made of steel and the human body is made of flesh. When these two meet on the road, catastrophic injury or death is a likely result. Pedestrian accidents kill close to 5,000 people every year in the United States, and they account for nearly 15 percent of all road deaths in Florida. Unfortunately, Florida suffers the third-highest pedestrian fatality rate in the nation.

We also handle the following types of cases:

A Florida driver’s legally mandated personal injury insurance only covers 80% of their medical costs and 60% of lost wages. The personal injury insurance caps benefits at $10,000 for medical and disability benefits and up to $5,000 for wrongful death.

Because medical bills and lost wages from a car accident usually exceed those limits, the injured party is likely to sue. The driver responsible for the accident (or their insurance company) should pay for the injuries they caused.

This is just a small portion of the complicated amount of information you need to know, understand, and utilize to ensure your car accident settlement is adequate to your present and future needs. If you experienced a car accident, we absolutely think you should get a Florida car accident lawyer to help with your case. Over the past 35 Years, our car accident attorneys have represented over 20,000 injured victims and won millions of dollars of compensation.

$20,000,000

Verdict

A teenage male was killed while riding an ATV.

$20,000,000

Verdict

Premises Liability / Wrongful Death

Pasco County, FL

A teenage male was killed while riding an ATV. His neighbor invited him to drive the ATV. He was permitted to operate the ATV without proper safety equipment and without adult supervision. While operating the ATV on the defendant’s property, the teenage male struck a barbwire fence and was decapitated. The defendant’s homeowner insurance failed to timely appoint an attorney to represent the defendant. Subsequent to a default judgment granted by the Court against the defendant, the attorney, who was finally appointed for the insurance company, withdrew from representation of the defendant and we proceeded to trial. At trial, the jury found in favor of the teenage male and awarded his parents $20 million in damages. After trial we proceeded against the insurance company in an effort to collect the judgement. Of course, the insurance company had various defenses which they vigorously asserted. Ultimately a seven figure settlement was reached which enabled our clients to receive some compensation for the tragic loss of their son.
$11,100,000

Verdict

Our client was riding his motor scooter on the Melbourne Causeway (US 192) when he was rear-ended by the at-fault driver.

$11,100,000

Verdict

Motorcyle Accident

Brevard County

Our firm's recent jury verdict illustrates the importance of drivers being diligent in watching out for motorcyclists. Our client was riding his motor scooter on the Melbourne Causeway (US 192) when he was rear-ended by the at-fault driver. He sustained a traumatic brain injury resulting in severe brain damage. He had over $800,000 in medical bills and had significant limitations as a result of the brain injury. We took the case to trial. On the evening of August 11, 2011, a Brevard County jury rendered a verdict in favor of our client for just under $15 million dollars. The jury found that our client was 25% comparatively negligent for not wearing a helmet. Thus, the net verdict was over $11.1 million dollars. We were able to collect the entire insurance proceeds. We pursued a "bad faith" claim against the insurance company in which we attempted to collect the judgment amount which was in excess of their insurance policy. We also pursued an action against additional defendants which were alleged to have contributed to our client's serious injuries. That case was eventually settled for a substantial amount. We hope that these results will enable our client to receive the medical treatment and continual care which he needs for the duration of his life.

Motor Vehicle Accident

Collier County, FL

A 12-year-old child sustained severe injuries as a result of being struck by a cement truck. At the time of the incident, the child did not have access to the crosswalk due to the fact that the sidewalk was under repair. Given that the driver did not have sufficient time to stop, the child was struck by the cement truck. A law suit was filed against both the driver of the truck and his employer and the contractor who was working on the road and sidewalk.

If an Accident Victim Dies, Can a Claim Still Be Filed?

Yes. Instead of the victim filing a personal injury claim, the personal representative of the victim’s estate must file a wrongful death claim. The personal representative is either the victim’s estate executor listed in the will or another party appointed by the court. Any damages awarded will be distributed among the estate and certain eligible relatives.

Who Can I Sue if I Am Injured by a Defective Airbag in an Automobile Accident?

For injuries caused by an airbag, if you can prove that the airbag was defective and unreasonably dangerous, you can probably sue anyone in the chain of distribution of the airbag – the manufacturer, the distributor, the wholesaler, or the retailer – without proving that any of these parties were actually at fault. You can sue a retailer, for example, for a manufacturing defect, even though the retailer didn’t manufacture the airbag. Of course, if the accident was caused by a negligent driver, you would also want to sue the driver (or file a claim against the insurance company) for his or her contribution to your injuries.

Can I Sue the Trucking Company for an 18-wheeler Accident?

Most of the time you can’t, because most trucking companies hire their drivers as independent contractors, not employees. An employer is liable for the on-duty conduct of its employees even if the employer itself was not negligent, while a company that hires an independent contractor is liable only for the conduct of the contractor if it acted negligently (by negligently hiring a dangerous driver, for example).

You can still sue the truck driver, who as a commercial driver is likely to be covered by liability insurance.
