Fort Lauderdale Personal Injury Lawyers

Fighting for Clients Throughout South Florida: (954) 543-1788

When people are severely injured, their lives change forever. Medical costs, lost work hours, diminished earning capacity, and long-term medical care drain their finances and rob them of financial security. The mental suffering experienced after surviving a traumatic accident can lasts as long as physical wounds. That's why the law allows injured people to file personal injury lawsuits against the people who caused their injuries. Rudenberg & Glasser has helped our clients get out of medical debt, provide for their families, and put food on the table by representing them in court against negligent people and insurance companies who refuse to do what's right.

Why File a Personal Injury Claim?

When you get injured because of someone else's negligence, they should be the ones to pay for your medical care and lost wages. Personal injury claims allow people to fight for the losses they've suffered as a result of their accidents. For severely injured people, their financial losses could mean the difference between financial security and losing a home, or the difference between buying groceries or going hungry. Our clients turn to us because we know how to deliver results.

Corporations and insurance companies sometimes act like bullies. When an individual is injured, getting fair compensation often means fighting a battle. If the other side has a legal department, then it's an uphill battle unless you have an advocate also fighting for you. That's why we usually take cases on a contingency basis--you pay no legal fees to us unless and until we recover your money. This allows a fair fight for our clients, even when taking on an opponent with more resources.

What is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Lawsuits?

Under Florida Statute section 95.11(3)(a), you have fours years from the date of the underlying accident to file a civil lawsuit. This limitation covers most types of personal injury lawsuits with some exceptions. The statute of limitations could be extended under some circumstances. Some examples of these circumstances include:

• After the accident and before the lawsuit could be filed, the defendant left the state of Florida
• The defendant attempted to conceal themselves to hinder the process of being served
• At the time of the accident, the victim was legally deemed “incapacitated”
