When an injury occurs, there are two questions that enter every person’s mind:

Who is going to pay for all my medical bills?

How will I receive compensation (lost wages) so that I can pay my bills?

These two questions are just the beginning of a long line of questions that you will ask yourself after getting injured on the job.

The Law Offices of Bram J. Gechtman can help you and your family members claim all the workers’ compensation benefits you are legally entitled to. These benefits may include:

• Payment to family members who lose time from work in order to assist you while you are injured and unable to fully care for yourself, commonly referred to as attendant care benefits.
• Payment of all lost wages (income) payable to you at the correct rate and in accordance with Florida Law.
• Selection of a doctor of your own choice for an evaluation, NOT a doctor selected by your employer or workers’ compensation insurance company.
• Payment of all scheduled damages you are entitled to due to a permanent impairment.
• Transportation to medical appointments.
• Settlement of your existing claim.
• Protection against retaliation by your employer for filing a claim.

Personal Injury is when a person suffers a physical injury. While personal injury can include damage to property, it is considered personal injury when it also involves physical harm. The purpose of a personal injury lawsuit is to hold someone accountable for causing another individual’s personal injuries and Florida Law allows for the injured individual to demand that the responsible party pay for their injuries, damages, and/or medical bills.

Personal injury can occur from situations such as car crashes, animal attacks, poor road maintenance, medical malpractice, assault and battery, construction accidents, or injuries from faulty products. It is also important to remember to file within four years from the date of your injury since that is the statute of limitations for personal injury cases per Florida Law.

In personal injury, each case is determined by a single Judge, so it is extremely important to have an attorney who is familiar with personal injury law and has ample experience and knowledge to advise you properly about the trial Judge ensuring you get the compensation you deserve.

Some organizations claim to handle personal injury cases but end up being nothing more than a referral service. This may leave you with a lawyer that you have never met and know little about.
