On I-95, with its multiple lanes and heavy traffic, accidents occur with alarming frequency—especially when tourists, unfamiliar with the local area, commit errors on the road that other drivers simply do not expect. Speeding has also grown increasingly common across Florida as more drivers rush to get to their destinations, eager to enjoy everything the area has to offer or to visit popular vacation spots. Auto accidents may also include accidents with big trucks, motorcycle accidents, drunk diving, and pedestrian accidents.
Throughout Hallandale Beach, visitors and residents alike can find a variety of trails for bike riding. Others may use their bikes to help them get around, whether they’re headed to the beach or off for a day of work. Unfortunately, some drivers do not pay adequate attention to the bike riders around them. Hallandale Beach drivers may not slow down, stop for bike traffic, or remember to allow adequate room as those riders move through traffic alongside them. As a result, bike riders can suffer severe injuries in accidents with motor vehicles.
Hallandale Beach boasts casinos, racetracks, and art and culture centers along with a wide range of other attractions. While those attractions offer great opportunities for vacationing families, if those facilities fail to keep up with basic maintenance or do not offer adequate care, including security, they can cause severe injuries for their visitors. Slip and fall accidents, for example, can occur in the blink of an eye. Excessive inebriation at casinos, especially while on vacation, can also raise the risk of injury. Casinos and attractions must consider guest inebriation when creating their policies or designing their buildings.
Hotels have several key responsibilities to their guests when it comes to offering a safe experience. First, they must ensure the security of the rooms: that is, no one other than the assigned guest and approved staff of the facility should enter guest rooms at any time, nor should other individuals have access to those rooms. Next, hotels should ensure that they do not have damaged flooring, handrails, or elevators that could pose a severe risk to everyone in the facility. Hotels must also carefully manage their pools to ensure that they pose no unnecessary danger. Hotel responsibility occurs both inside the body of the hotel and outside: for example, hotels that offer stairs down to the beach or walkways designed for beach-goers must maintain that area, too.
Property owners, especially owners of condos and apartments, bear a strong duty of care to everyone living there. Landlords must take care to maintain their properties in a way that does not pose an undue danger to their residents. In addition, landlords may need to inspect their premises regularly to ensure that they do not pose a danger to their residents. People expect a safe place to call home: places where they can spend time with family, relax, and trust in their safety. Unfortunately, when a landlord or property manager violates the duty of care to residents of that property, it can lead to severe injuries even in the privacy of the victim’s own home. Buildings may collapse, walls may fall, water heaters may malfunction and cause serious burns, or appliances may tip over, resulting in severe injuries or even death of the residents.
Slip and fall accidents offer a substantial danger in many stores, hotels, casinos, and buildings throughout the Hallandale Beach area. On days when the weather remains bright and sunny, some people may come in straight off the beach, still dripping water, which could lead to unexpected spills throughout stores and other businesses. On rainy days, on the other hand, visitors to those premises may track water inside. Slip and fall accidents can also result from poorly maintained flooring.
Sometimes, the negligent actions of another party can lead to the death of the victim. The family of the victim can file a wrongful death claim intended to help provide compensation for the victim’s final medical expenses and the loss of the victim’s income.
The severe injuries that may result from accidents caused by the negligence of other parties throughout the Hallandale Beach area can leave many victims struggling with their new limitations. Serious injuries may, in fact, have lifelong repercussions for those victims.
Life with traumatic brain injury can prove immensely difficult for many victims. Traumatic brain injury can result in severe memory loss, including both short-term and long-term memory challenges. Victims may also struggle with ongoing problems with focus and concentration, difficulty regulating emotion, or physical problems like headaches or ringing in the ears. Traumatic brain injury can make it very difficult for victims to work or engage in their usual preferred recreation activities.
Back and neck injuries frequently cause severe complications in many areas of the victim’s life since back and neck pain may worsen with both physical activity and continued inactivity. Standing, sitting for too long, or lying down can all exacerbate back and neck pain. Back and neck injuries may also include spinal cord injuries, which may cause paralysis below the site of the injury. Spinal cord injuries frequently also cause a loss of function in organs below the site of the injury and can shorten the victim’s lifespan.
In hotels and public recreation facilities that include water, drowning can occur in the blink of an eye. Sometimes, drowning may occur due to negligence on the part of the facility, which has a strong responsibility for creating a safe environment for its visitors. Drowning injuries can cause death or long-term breathing complications.
In some accidents, the immediate force of the accident can result in amputation, which means that the victim permanently loses the use of the missing limb. Other victims may suffer such severe crushing damage that doctors feel amputation will offer the best odds of making a full recovery.
Many accidents, from slip and fall accidents to auto accidents, can result in broken bones. Even a single broken bone can cause immense complications for the victim, who may struggle with the overall loss of mobility associated with the accident. Multiple broken bones may make it impossible for victims to engage in normal self-care tasks or prevent the victim from working during the long recovery period after the accident.
Following a Hallandale Beach accident caused by someone else’s negligence, you may have the right to file for compensation through a personal injury claim. The compensation recovered by an accident victim can depend on several critical factors, and the compensation recovered by one party may look different from the compensation recovered by another.
Most entities responsible for Hallandale Beach accidents will carry insurance designed to provide much-needed financial protection after an accident. Auto accident victims, for example, typically carry liability insurance designed to pay for damage to the vehicle they hit as well as offer some compensation for victims who suffered injuries in those accidents. Some entities carry higher-value policies than others, and the limits of those policies may determine the compensation you can ultimately recover.
Medical bills can prove immense after a Hallandale Beach accident. An attorney can help you calculate the cost of your current medical expenses and factor in the potential future cost of ongoing medical expenses as you put together your personal injury claim. Your medical expenses may include all medical costs associated with the accident: not just emergency transport and hospital treatment, but the ongoing cost of care, including a stay in a long-term care facility if needed or durable medical equipment that you need to get around or to maintain your independence at home after your accident.
Your lost wages represent a loss of financial independence and income in the aftermath of an accident that likely caused serious injuries. Those lost wages may prove an important factor as you file your personal injury claim. Talk to your attorney about how to include factors like vacation or sick time that you may have had to use in the aftermath of your injury, or how to calculate lost income from a slow return to work following your injuries.
You suffered serious injuries in a Hallandale Beach accident. Now, you have substantial questions about your right to compensation. Take a look at the FAQ below or contact us for more specific answers to your pressing queries.
If your loved one died in a Hallandale Beach accident, you may deserve compensation for your loved one’s injuries through a wrongful death claim. In general, you have the right to file a wrongful death claim if you have a direct familial relationship to the deceased. Generally, the deceased’s spouse will have the first right to file a wrongful death claim. Next, if the deceased does not have a spouse, his children may have the right to a claim. If the deceased has neither spouse nor children, the deceased’s parents may file a wrongful death claim. In some cases, if the deceased has none of those relatives, the deceased’s estate can file a wrongful death claim to help pay final expenses or to pass on some compensation to his heirs.
A wrongful death claim works much the same way as a personal injury claim. First, get in touch with an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney can go over the circumstances that led to your loved one’s death, evaluate who may have caused those injuries, and give you an idea of what compensation to expect.
You can generally recover compensation through a wrongful death claim for:
After a serious accident in Hallandale Beach, the actions you take can affect the compensation you recover for your injuries and your overall suffering.
First, if you can take photos of the accident scene without making your injuries worse, you may want to collect photo evidence. You may want pictures of everything involved in the accident: the area where you landed or any areas where you see damage, for example. You may also want to take photos of your injuries to make it easier to show exactly when and how those injuries occurred.
Next, make sure that you report the accident. If you have an auto accident, you should call 911 to report it to the police. If you suffer more severe injuries in a catastrophic accident, you may want to call 911 immediately. Never assume that someone else has already called 911 unless you have received acknowledgment. If you suffer injuries in a premises liability accident, you may want to contact the premises owner or report the accident to members of the management team as soon as possible.
Get medical care as soon after your accident as possible. Failure to seek medical care could leave you unaware of severe injuries sustained in the accident, especially if you have suffered an injury like traumatic brain injury, which might not show fully in the immediate aftermath of the accident. Follow all instructions provided by your medical care team so that you can get the highest possible standard of care and improve your odds of making a full recovery. Your medical care provider can also create a vital record of exactly when your injuries occurred, which can provide evidence for your future personal injury claim.
Finally, contact a personal injury attorney quickly after your accident. An attorney offers vital support as you move forward with your personal injury claim and may increase the odds that you will get the full support you deserve.
Severe accidents often mean severe medical bills. You may not have the funds on hand to pay those bills out of pocket, especially if you have lost your source of income as a result of your injuries.
Unfortunately, as the injured party, you bear responsibility for all medical bills associated with your accident. Although it might prove more convenient for you, the liable party will not have to take care of your medical bills directly. However, you do have some options that can make it easier to take care of those medical costs.
If you suffered injuries in an auto accident and you carry PIP insurance, you can use it to provide immediate financial assistance. Florida drivers, alongside their liability insurance, must carry PIP insurance. PIP, or Personal Injury Protection insurance, covers 80 percent of up to $10,000 in medical expenses following a serious auto accident. For many Florida auto accident victims, that financial assistance can prove vital to getting immediate medical care after an accident.
If you carry medical insurance, you can use it to cover your medical costs. Health insurance exists to help with the financial aftermath of severe illness and injuries, including the injuries you may sustain in an accident. If you carry health insurance, you can use it to offer much-needed financial coverage for the injuries you sustained in the accident.
If you need to use your medical insurance following a severe accident, you may want to contact your medical insurance provider and talk to the company about your coverage before creating a plan with your care team.
Depending on your injuries, you may need to know what coverage you have for:
Your care team can help you make decisions about your recovery based on what medical coverage you may have, which can help alleviate some of the financial burden associated with the accident and your injuries.
You can use the funds from your personal injury claim to cover the cost of treatment for your injuries. A personal injury claim can offer much-needed compensation for the expenses you face as a result of severe injuries in an accident. However, it may take time to get the funds you need from that personal injury claim. If you need to wait for the funds from your personal injury claim before you can pay your medical bills, and you worry that collections actions will start coming in, you may want to have your attorney issue a letter of protection, which will state your intent to pay once you receive those funds.
Sometimes, you may know who caused your Hallandale Beach accident: for example, if you suffered injuries in an accident with a distracted driver, you may know that the driver caused the accident. However, in some cases, multiple parties may share liability for the accident and, therefore, for your injuries.
To determine liability in a personal injury claim, an attorney does not rely on a criminal conviction.
Instead, your attorney will ask several key questions about the events that led to your accident.
Filing a personal injury claim rarely results in quick compensation for your injuries. You should expect it to take time to get the compensation you deserve. First, you must wait for both your attorney and the liable party’s insurance company to investigate the damage and the scene of the accident. Both sides may also want a full report regarding your injuries and how they have damaged your life.
Next, you may need time to recover from your injuries before you actively move forward with your personal injury claim. If you sustained severe injuries, you may need to wait until the doctors have a better idea of your prognosis before you can file your claim, since you may not know what your medical bills or long-term limitations will look like until some time after your accident.
Finally, it can take several rounds of negotiation before you arrive at a settlement amount considered acceptable to both sides, which can increase the time needed to resolve your claim.
Talk to a lawyer before accepting a settlement offer after a serious Hallandale Beach accident. Sometimes, the insurance company may try to convince you that you have to act fast to secure the compensation you deserve. In reality, however, the insurance company may issue a low settlement offer that does not reflect the compensation you deserve. An attorney can help you break down the compensation you should expect and evaluate when to accept an offer.
