Deerfield Beach Personal Injury Lawyer

If you are in an accident and suffer an injury because of someone else’s negligence, you may be eligible for compensation for your damages. A Deerfield Beach personal injury lawyer at Eltringham Law Group can evaluate your case and help you decide the next steps to recover for your losses.

How Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Differ From Other Lawyers?

Attorneys can represent you in any number of legal disputes and matters. A personal injury lawyer focuses their practice on the representation of victims of injuries or families of victims that suffer a fatality in an accident. 

Personal injury accidents are often due to negligence; if another party is responsible for the events leading to the injuries of a victim or fatality, they may be eligible for compensation through an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.

What Types of Cases Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Deerfield Beach Handle?

Personal injuries can happen to anyone at any moment in their life. While some people can be at higher risk of accidents due to their age, occupation, or choice of activities, if another party plays a role in you sustaining injuries and losses, they can be liable to you. A personal injury attorney deals with many common scenarios and situations in which personal injuries can occur.

Although the laws guiding personal injury cases are the same, each type of injury case has unique aspects and considerations that can be challenging to maximize the compensation you are eligible for after an accident. Personal injury lawyers will take on different types of personal injury cases. Although personal injury lawyers can take on any type of case that deals with injuries due to negligence, having a lawyer with experience in the specific type of personal injury accident you are in, can be beneficial to your case.

Personal Injury Cases Can Include:

  • Motor vehicle accidents
  • Motorcycle accidents
  • Semi or large truck accidents
  • Bicycle accidents
  • Worker’s compensation
  • Medical malpractice
  • Product liability
  • Nursing home or assisted living facility negligence
  • Premises liability accident
  • Dog Bites
  • Catastrophic injuries

What Damages May You Be Eligible for in a Personal Injury Case?

After a personal injury accident, you will face economic losses and impacts as a result of the accident and the injuries you sustain. Through an injury claim or lawsuit, you may be able to recover many of those losses as well as seek compensation for losses related to your personal loss, such as the impacts on your quality of life and ability to live your life after an accident. A personal injury lawyer at Eltringham Law Group can help you calculate an estimation of your damages.

Damages in a personal injury claim or lawsuit can include:

  • Costs of medical care
  • Income loss
  • Pain and suffering
  • Wrongful death compensation

How Can a Deerfield Beach Personal Injury Lawyer Help You After an Accident?

You may not have a clear grasp of what exactly a lawyer can do in your case after an accident to help you get compensation. A lawyer will first and foremost fight for your rights and the compensation you are eligible for under the law.

Take the Lead on Your Case

When you hire an attorney, the management of your claim and potential lawsuit transfers to them; you will no longer need to answer calls or risk questioning from insurers. All communications, inquests, and demands for information must go through an attorney once you have legal representation. You can focus on your healing, recovery, and moving forward in your life after an accident while your legal team navigates your claim for damages on your behalf.

Use Their Knowledge and Experience to Fight for Your Compensation

A personal injury lawyer will use the resources in their arsenal to prepare your claim or lawsuit for damages. Your attorney will learn about the accident, your injuries, and who could be responsible for the losses and damages taking place. The lawyer will then estimate your damages, collect evidence to support your claim, and negotiate with the insurance companies and at-fault parties to come to an agreement as to a reasonable offer of settlement that will benefit you.

If a negotiation in your case is not successful, your Eltringham Law Group attorney can then advise you as to whether a lawsuit filing is appropriate in your case. Your lawyer will then proceed to represent you through this process from the preparation of the lawsuit for damages to the filing of the legal action in court and representation of your interests throughout a trial. Ultimately, when a lawsuit becomes necessary, a court will decide whether you are eligible for compensation in your case and the amount of compensation you are eligible for from the parties liable to you.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney in Deerfield Beach?

Hiring an attorney can be an intimidating process. Many people hesitate to do so because of the uncertainty that surrounds the costs of representation and lack of understanding of the personal injury lawyer’s financial arrangements with a client. Many if not all personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis.

Hiring a personal injury lawyer on a contingency fee means that if you do not recover any financial compensation through an insurance claim or lawsuit, the lawyer does not receive payment for their services. When you enter into a contingency agreement, you are under no obligation to pay an attorney unless you receive compensation. If and when you receive compensation for your losses, in your case, the legal fees for your attorney will be a percentage of the total amount you receive in compensation from an insurer or other party.

Should You Hire a Deerfield Beach Personal Injury Attorney for Your Case?

When it comes to a case where injuries occur, hiring a personal injury lawyer is always the best choice. Injury cases are complex and there is much effort and experience that is often required to reach a resolution that truly benefits you and your needs after the losses in an accident.

I usually never leave reviews, good or bad, but for this instance, I most definitely had to. David and Marnie were both AMAZING. They made me feel comfortable and confident in their ability to resolve my case. I was walking in a crosswalk and was hit by a vehicle resulting in having to go to the hospital. I sustained injuries from this that I am still in the midst of dealing with. I contacted the firm and was able to speak with them via zoom immediately. I decided to sign with them on a Monday evening (3 days after my accident) and by Tuesday afternoon (the very next day) my case was settled. And settled for the very max that was able to be obtained. I attribute a lot of this to not only the expertise of the firm, but the relationships that Marnie has built with her experience working as a lawyer within a major insurance provider, which just so happened to be the insurance provider involved in my case. This is incredibly atypical for a case to be settled this quickly, especially with this outcome. It has been two weeks to the day today that my accident has happened and my case has already been resolved. I am blessed and more than happy that I decided to hire this firm. Every case is different, but I can bet that this firm will handle your case with care and the utmost professionalism. I pray I never have to go through a situation like this again, but if I did, I wouldn’t hesitate to call this law firm. Thank you guys very much!!

I highly recommend Eltringham Law Group to anyone seeking legal advice after having a car accident. David Eltringham and his entire staff gave me the personal attention I needed during a very difficult and painful time. David took the extra steps needed to ensure that I received the medical care I needed as well as the financial compensation I deserved. Harold Torres, Paralegal updated me every step of the way. Thank you Eltringham Law Group!
