South Florida Motorycycle Accident Lawyers


Auto & Motorcycle Accidents


What should I do if I am in a car, auto, or motorcycle accident?


Following a car, auto, or motorcycle accident, it is important to call the police and seek medical treatment. Keep in mind that the shock of being in a collision may hide any pain until hours or even days later. Our Ft. Lauderdale, Florida motorcycle and car accident private investigators and lawyers have compiled a complete list of what to do after a car or auto accident. Most importantly, before you speak to the at-fault driver's insurance company about your injury, contact the Law Offices of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. to discuss your accident. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, Abe Rosenberg, and the firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. has been in business for over 35 years and has successfully handled thousands of cases. Click here for some of our credentials.




How much is my auto accident case worth?


This question is difficult to answer as it depends on many factors:


· If someone else's negligence caused the auto accident and resulted in injuries, one of our lawyers can help you obtain any payment you are entitled to for your medical bills plus compensation for pain and suffering. This would include past and future medical bills.


· If you were seriously injured and missed time from work, you may be entitled to compensation for lost wages or loss of earning capacity in the future. Our proven Miami, Florida auto accident lawyers can help you retain such compensation. The firm of Rosenberg & Rosenberg currently has approximately 1,500 active Florida Workers' Compensation cases.


There is no proven formula to determine exactly how much a case is worth. It will depend on how the evidence and testimony dictate the case. Because of our record of trying these types of cases, our firm is able to determine a general value for your claim. One of our Miami, Florida auto accident / motorcycle lawyers will obtain medical records and bills and will analyze the client's condition pre and post injury in order to provide an estimated value.




How long will it take to bring my auto accident case to a conclusion?


The complexity of the accident as well as the particular injuries sustained will determine the time frame of the outcome. We resolve our client's cases based on an understanding of their current and future medical conditions. Once our law firm becomes involved, the average car or auto accident case is resolved within eight to 12 months.


I have full coverage, why am I not covered?


Full coverage, while it can mean a variety of things, does not automatically imply that bodily injury is covered. Contact your insurance company for clarification on your insurance coverage.




Does my auto insurance cover my motorcycle accident?


Many motorcycle owners believe that they will be covered by their automobile insurance if they are involved in a crash. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In Florida, insurance is not required for the owner and rider of a motorcycle. Furthermore, the PIP coverage a motorcycle owner may have on his car will not cover the owner if injured on a motorcycle. Our Miami, Florida auto accident and motorcycle lawyers can help answer more of your questions concerning your motorcycle accident.




What are the MMI and permanent impairment rating?


At the conclusion of your treatment with a doctor, our Hollywood, Florida car and motorcycle accident lawyers will request a final narrative of your condition. Once your physician has decided you are at Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), some doctor's assign, and insurance company's request, a permanent impairment rating. It does not mean that you are back to the physical or mental condition you were at prior to the accident. It simply means your condition has stabilized and you have a loss. This is generally done pursuant to American Medical Association (AMA) guidelines. A permanent impairment rating technically is not called for as a basis at trial in an automobile case, but many automobile insurance companies like to have the impairment rating so they can evaluate the case.




What is my next step?

· Document as much as you can about the car, motorcycle, or auto accident or injury itself.

· Talk to no one about the car, motorcycle, or auto accident or injuries other than your attorney or physician. You especially do not want to speak with an insurance adjuster. Our attorneys will be happy to assist you.


· Be sure to take photos of the car, motorcycle, or auto accident scene, including any visible injuries and the vehicles involved.


· Get the contact information of anyone who witnessed the accident who may be able to help prove your case.

Medical Malpractice Attorneys Paul Rosenberg, David Rosenberg, Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A.


MEDICAL MALPRACTICE

Medical Malpractice is a form of negligence involving the failure of a medical professional (a doctor, nurse, medical technician, psychiatrist, dentist, or other health care provider) to use adequate levels of care, skill or diligence in the performance of his or her professional's duties, which causes injury. The determination of whether a medical professional met his or her duty of care or committed medical malpractice is based upon the standard of care for the professional in their community, i.e., what other professionals in the same field and geographical area do for their patients. In the case of a doctor who is a medical specialist, the standard of care is determined by the standard of good medical practice in that specialty within the community.

In evaluating medical malpractice, it is important to remember that the duty of a medical professional is not the duty to cure, or even to guarantee a good outcome from treatment. Medical malpractice does not occur every time medical treatment is not successful. Rather, the duty is to provide good medical care according to accepted standards in the community, or, in the case of a specialist, accepted standards in that medical specialty. A misdiagnosis can be arrived at even when all proper tests are performed accurately or evaluated by a skilled doctor with the utmost care.

If you, or someone you care about, has suffered from Medical Malpractice in Florida, please contact our law firm for a FREE and CONFIDENTIAL evaluation of your medical negligence or medical malpractice case. Attorneys Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, Abe Rosenberg or any of our associate attorneys will personally provide detailed and comprehensive answers to your important questions. Or, if you prefer, call Cory T. Knight from anywhere in the United States at 954-963-0444. Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We will answer your questions, without charge, and there is no obligation to use our services.

Types of Medical Malpractice

The concept of medical malpractice is very broad and encompasses virtually every kind of mistake that could be made by a medical professional. The most common cases brought against doctors are:

improper diagnosis
birth injury
drug injury
cerebral palsy and erb's palsy
failure to diagnose cancer
medication errors
surgical errors such as a slip of the knife severing a nerve during an operation
medical instruments, sponges, needles or other foreign objects dropped and left after surgery
errors in prenatal diagnostic testing
failure to advise of diagnosis
lack of informed consent
abandonment (failure to attend to a patient)
improperly prescribing a drug
failing to inform the patient of available treatments
continuing a treatment that has been shown to be ineffective
below standard treatment or incorrectly performed treatment

A doctor has a duty to you to use care and diligence to diagnose your illness so that the proper treatment can be recommended. In order to properly diagnose a condition, a doctor should ask about a patient's medical history as well as his or her family's medical history. The doctor also should ask for a detailed description of current symptoms and should perform a thorough examination which includes necessary diagnostic tests.

Example: After hurting your wrist you go to your family doctor, but he concludes it is just a sprain and doesn't request an X-ray, which would have revealed a fracture. The fracture goes undetected and, as a result, a permanent and debilitating injury to your wrist results. The doctor may be negligent for failing to order an X-ray, or possibly for not referring you to an orthopaedist.

Doctors also have a duty to disclose information pertaining to the treatment you will receive. If your condition is such that it is beyond the scope of practice of the examining doctor, or beyond the doctor's expertise, he or she must refer you to a specialist. If your doctor fails to follow these basic principles, and injury is caused as a result, you may have a case for a medical malpractice claim.

Medical Malpractice can occur at any point in the diagnosis and treatment course. For example, the wrong chart could be placed at your hospital bedside, resulting in you being given medication that you are allergic to that causes serious harm or even death.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding Automobile Accident Cases

What can I do to protect my interests after an auto accident?

You should report the accident immediately to the police if you have not already done so.
Any and all witnesses to the accident should be identified by name, address and telephone number.
Take photos or videos of the scene and vehicles from as many angles as possible. Photographs showing the damage to your vehicle can be invaluable in assisting us in maximizing your recovery.

If you require medical treatment, be clear and accurate in what you say about how the accident happened. Also, be sure to give your doctor a complete, accurate and truthful description of how the accident happened, what problems you are having as a result of the accident, and make sure to tell your doctor about all prior similar injuries you may have had.

You have a duty in Florida to be cooperative with your own insurance company. You have no such duty to cooperate or give a recorded statement to the insurance company for the driver who caused the accident.

If you have suffered lacerations, burns or bruising, take photographs of your injuries, reflecting the injury and any bandages or braces that may have been placed. Such photographs will become invaluable in establishing your injuries after your injuries have healed.

Gather all automobile insurance policies in your household for evaluation by an experienced attorney to determine the full extent of insurance available to you.

What are the typical issues that I will face in making a claim for my injuries?A claim made against another driver or vehicle owner is called a "tort claim." It is usually based upon the concept of carelessness or negligence, although it can also be based upon an intentional or reckless act. The person who is at fault for causing the accident is referred to as the "tortfeasor" or "defendant."

Attorneys and insurance adjusters know that the three categories of issues that typically arise in a tort claim after an automobile accident are the following:

Liability;Damages; and Insurance Coverage

Liability refers to the question of who is at fault and to what degree. Florida is a comparative fault state, meaning that your recovery can be reduced by the percent of your own comparative fault. The insurance company representing the person who caused the accident obviously wants to minimize or eliminate the fault of its driver and maximize your degree of comparative fault. Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A is here to assist you in obtaining the maximum recovery possible.

Damages refers to the injuries or losses that were caused by the auto accident. Damages include past medical bills, future medical bills that you are reasonably certain to incur, past lost wages, future loss of earning capacity, and past and future amounts for the pain, mental suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and other elements of damages. Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A is here to assist you in obtaining the proper medical care from qualified physicians. Many times you can receive treatment the same day you come in for your appointment.

Insurance coverage is frequently not as simple a determination as might be expected. Often there are disputes over which of several insurance policies are responsible for paying your damages. There are also efforts by the insurance companies to deny or defeat coverage. And, where uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage (UM) is involved, there are multiple issues that must be resolved to assure maximum financial recovery. The entire area of insurance coverage is virtually a minefield that is best not entered without a competent and experienced attorney. Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A is here to assist you in obtaining the maximum recovery possible. Please feel free to ask for Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, or Abe Rosenberg. The firm Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. has over one hundred (100) years of experience handling personal injury claims.

How is my attorney paid? What if I can't afford a attorney? Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A.. handles all cases on what is called a "contingency fee" basis. This means that no fees or costs are charged unless we collect money damages for you. All of the consultations with our office are absolutely free. When you receive compensation, meaning we have successfully concluded your case, either by settlement or litigation, our fees are a percentage of the gross settlement. This percentage is agreed upon before we begin work, is in writing, signed by you and the attorneys, and is 33 1/3% prior to filing suit and 40% after the lawsuit is filed, up through trial.

The attorneys' fee is separate from the "costs" that the firm advances on behalf of the client. "Costs" include expenses for obtaining copies of medical records from your doctors, expert witness fees, accident reconstruction experts, filing fees at the courthouse, private investigator fees, costs of taking depositions of the parties involved, all witnesses, doctors and other experts, etc. We advance all costs related to your case. Only upon obtaining a recovery for a client, are we reimbursed the costs advanced by our law firm.

How long will my case take? The answer to this question depends on the complexity of the case. In other words, the last thing we want to do is resolve a case while our client is still healing or does not have a good understanding on what their future medical condition and expenses or losses will be. With that being said, typically the average automobile accident claim is resolved within 8 to 14 months after an accident. Once your treating physician places you at MMI (Maximum Medical Improvement), which is usually 4 to 6 months after the injuries occur, we then prepare and send out a demand letter for settlement, subject to your approval, to the insurance company, and negotiate the highest possible settlement you are entitled to. Naturally, the estimate of time is subject to fluctuation depending on the facts of the case.

What does MMI mean? MMI means Maximum Medical Improvement. Simply stated, it is a term used by doctors to describe that your injuries and condition have improved as much as they ever will, or, in other words, you are as good as you are ever going to get.

How much is my case worth? This is one of the most difficult questions we are often asked. The evaluation of your case is based on many factors, which include, among other things, the following:


  • how the accident happened

  • the extent of damage to the vehicles involved

  • the type and extent of your injuries and medical treatment

  • whether you sustained permanent injuries or significant scarring

  • the amount of your past medical bills

  • the lost wages you have incurred

  • the expected amount of future medical bills

  • the future loss of earning capacity



The adverse party's insurance company has advised me that there is no Bodily Injury coverage on their insurer's policy. Can I still sue? There is no requirement in the State of Florida that a registered owner of an automobile carry bodily injury liability coverage to pay for your injuries. Your chances of recovering a substantial settlement against an uninsured driver are slim, unless that person has substantial assets to pay any judgment rendered against him. Uninsured motorist coverage, if you carry it on your own automobile, will be available to you in the event that you sustain a serious injury caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver. Our licensed and insured Florida Private Investigator will be able to obtain the pertinent information for your case.



Why do we have to use my insurance company if I did nothing wrong to cause this accident? This is because Florida is a "no fault" insurance state. Based upon Florida law, even when you are in an auto accident that was caused by someone else, you are required by law to submit your own medical expenses to your own automobile insurance company under your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. The person who caused the accident, and/or his insurance company , is responsible for paying your medical bills and lost wages that exceed your PIP policy, and for your pain and suffering if you have sustained a permanent injury.



What is Personal Injury Protection?


Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is sometimes referred to as "no-fault" insurance. PIP insurance covers you and relatives residing in your household for injuries sustained in an automobile accident regardless of who is at fault. This coverage pays 80% of reasonable and necessary medical bills, 60% of lost wages, and 100% of household services, up to a limit of $10,000. Florida law requires every owner of a motor vehicle required to be registered in Florida carry PIP to protect themselves in the event of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. For injuries sustained in an automobile accident, PIP coverage is primary over any health insurance.



Should I attempt to settle my own claim?


The answer to this question can be best illustrated by one of our recent automobile cases. One of our clients suffered injuries while a passenger in her car, driven by her husband. Her husband was backing out of a parking space of a retail store. The tortfeasor driver, driving a friend's car, was racing through the parking lot and sideswiped our client's vehicle. The investigation revealed that the tortfeasor driver was operating the friend's vehicle without a license - it had been revoked because of the number of accidents he had caused. The owner of the vehicle carried bodily liability insurance and under the law in Florida, pursuant to the dangerous instrumentality doctrine, was liable for the damage caused by the friend. Prior to hiring our firm, and after much work and frustration on her behalf, the insurance company offered our client only $500.00 to settle the claim. After asking us to represent her, we were able to obtain a settlement for her that was twenty (20) times the amount she was offered prior to representation, just months later. Even after calculating attorneys fees and costs, our client still recovered many times over the original offer from the tortfeasor's insurance company to settle.
An adjuster from an insurance company wants to settle with me and says I don't need a lawyer. What should I do? Adjusters who work for insurance companies, and no matter how sympathetic they may seem, have one goal and only one goal in mind when they offer to settle your case . . . to do it with the least amount of money possible. The job of insurance companies is to take your premiums/money in - not to pay money out. Studies have shown accident victims recover more money through the use of a lawyer even after taking into account the attorney's fees. Always consult with a lawyer before accepting any offer made to you by an adjuster.

Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Lawyer Car Crash Overview

Car Accident(s) Overview

Car accidents represent the majority of personal injury claims in the United States. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, an automobile accident occurs in the U.S. every ten seconds and a person dies in such an accident every thirteen minutes. In 2005, the cost of car accidents in the U.S. exceeded 230 billion dollars. Most automobile accidents are caused by negligent driving and driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Defective vehicles and dangerous road conditions may also cause auto accidents. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg are always willing to provide a free consultation for your car accident case.

Legal Consequences of Motor Vehicle Accidents

The precise legal consequences of automobile collisions depend on the nature and severity of the accident. A driver may face civil liability, criminal liability, or both. If an accident is minor, police may not report to the scene of the crash. Parties are required, however, to immediately exchange insurance and other contact information. The insurance companies may then determine who, if anyone, was at fault for the accident. Failure to stop at the scene of an accident may be classified as a "hit and run," and may subject the driver to criminal liability.
If a crash is more serious, law enforcement officers are likely to investigate the cause of the accident by interviewing witnesses and examining the scene of the collision. If a driver was grossly negligent, the state may choose to charge the driver with assault with a deadly weapon, manslaughter, murder or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. A driver may also be sued by the other parties involved in the accident, or their insurance companies, for personal injuries or money damages. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg are always willing to provide a free consultation for your car accident case.

Negligent Driving

Suits arising from automobile accidents are generally grounded in negligence claims. A person is negligent if they fail to act as an ordinary, reasonable person under similar circumstances. Thus, a non-negligent driver uses reasonable care to avoid collisions. A jury generally determines whether a driver conformed with the "reasonable person" standard of care. A jury may consider the degree to which the driver adhered to traffic laws, whether the driver evaluated the weather and road conditions, and whether the driver was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Failure to act as a "reasonable person" may result in liability if the negligence was both the actual and proximate cause of the victim's injuries. "Actual" cause is established if the victim's injuries would not have occurred but for the driver's negligence. A finding of proximate cause requires that the victim's injuries were the natural and probable result of the driver's negligence. If another person or event intervened and broke the chain of causation between the driver's actions and the victim's injuries, the driver may be relieved of liability. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg are always willing to provide a free consultation for your car accident case.

Driving Under the Influence

A high percentage of fatal car crashes occur because drugs or alcohol have impaired one or more of the drivers. Driving under the influence (DUI) is a criminal offense and may be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony. States typically treat a DUI as a felony if the driver injures another party or if the driver had been previously convicted of a DUI. Penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs include fines and/or incarceration in jail or prison. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg are always willing to provide a free consultation for your car accident case.
Defective Automobiles

Automobile parts, such as tires or brakes, which are defective may also cause car accidents. If a part is defective, persons who were injured because of the defect may sue the manufacturer or supplier of the part under the legal theory of products liability. Courts generally treat products liability as a strict liability tort, meaning that the court will hold the manufacturer or seller liable regardless of whether or not they acted negligently.

If you had an automobile accident, feel free to call us at 1- 888-565-4878 (1 888 565 HURT) for a FREE, no-obligation consultation. Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg are always willing to provide a free consultation for your car accident case. We will help you understand your legal rights and your options so that you can make the right decisions for your future.

Florida Workers' Compensation Lawyers


Workers’ Compensation

Laws in Florida protect workers and try to provide safe and healthful workplaces for every employee in the state. Despite this, not everyone obeys the law. Negligence, defective products and other problems cause many thousands of accidents in the workplace each year. Your employer is required to carry workers' compensation insurance coverage for you and should give you a workers' compensation claim to complete and return to him or her. If you are injured, workers' compensation is meant to provide you with benefits — including medical care coverage, financial help, and job retraining. These benefits are crucial to recovering from a workplace injury. However, even though you are covered by workers' compensation, you may not get all the benefits you are entitled to. That's why you should call the qualified attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. if you have been injured on the job.

Workers' compensation fraud has led many insurance companies to tighten regulations. Now, aggressive carriers can look even at legitimate workers' compensation claims with a somewhat jaded eye. Some insurance carriers may claim that your workers' compensation claim is not legitimate and may try to deny you full benefits. Insurers may try to claim you haven't been injured, or they may claim that the injury is not serious or does not qualify for workers' compensation benefits. Some insurance carriers may try to claim that your policy does not cover specific benefits. Most insurers have many attorneys on staff and most workers are intimidated about dealing with insurers. However, you deserve the benefits you qualify for — and Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. can help ensure that you get coverage.

Your money pays for workers' compensation and you have a right to get benefits and assistance if you have been injured. If you are accused of workers' compensation fraud even though you have a legitimate claim or if you are not getting the benefits you have been lead to believe you have, you need help from the Florida attorneys at Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A.. Insurance providers have their own attorneys, and you should, too. We can act on your behalf and represent you with insurance carriers. We can work to ensure that you have the maximum amount of benefits to help you recover from your injury. Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. can assist you through the appeals process so that you get the benefits you need to cover quality medical care and lost income as well as other expenses you may have incurred. Plus, Rosenberg & Rosenberg, P.A. knows how important your benefits are, which is why we always work hard to ensure that the process runs as quickly and effectively in your favor as possible.

If you think your workers' compensation benefits are being withheld, call us at 1- 888-565-4878 (1 888 565 HURT) for a FREE, no-obligation consultation.

Paul S. Rosenberg, David E. Rosenberg, and Abe Rosenberg are always willing to provide a free consultation for your workers’ compensation claim. We will help you understand your legal rights and your options so that you can make the right decisions for your future.
