Personal Injury Cases We Can Handle

After an accident leaves you injured, you should be resting and healing. You shouldn’t be losing time and energy looking for a law firm that can handle your case. At Law Office of Russell B. McCormick, PA, we make it simple to find a trustworthy legal team by focusing our efforts on many of the most common accident claims that often involve some of the worst injuries.

Our Jacksonville personal injury team can handle cases involving:

• Car accidents: We have the experience and resources required to handle car accident claims, which are sometimes more complicated than drivers expect due to Florida’s personal injury protection (PIP) insurance requirements.

• Motorcycle accidents: Were you severely injured in a motorcycle accident? The insurance companies might try to blame you for “being reckless.” Give yourself the strength required to pursue a claim in the face of adversity by working with Law Office of Russell B. McCormick, PA.
• Product liability: Dangerous products can cause severe or fatal injuries to consumers who deserve better. Our legal team can work on cases involving dangerous auto parts, children’s toys, appliances, electronics, power tools, etc.
• Premises liability: If you were injured while on someone else’s property, including residential property or commercial property like a retail store, it might be possible to hold the property owner or manager liable for your injuries and losses.
• Wrongful death: After a loved one passes away in an accident that another party caused, you should give yourself time to grieve. Take care of yourself and your family while allowing our law office to work on your wrongful death claim that honors your late loved one’s name and memory.

How Much Time Do You Have to File a Florida Injury Claim?

Most personal injury claims in Florida are bound by a two-year statute of limitations that begins on the date of the accident. If you do not file a personal injury claim in civil court before the applicable statute of limitations ends, you will more than likely lose the ability to use the courts to demand compensation for your losses.

Differences in the statute of limitations might occur if:

• You were injured by a government entity, which usually results in a shorter statute of limitations.
• You could not have reasonably discovered your injury until much later after it first occurred (such as in a case involving an illness), which could extend the statute of limitations.
• You are filing on behalf of an injured minor, which may extend the statute of limitations in certain circumstances.

Overall, statutes of limitations for personal injury claims can be as complicated as they are important. To reduce the risk of missing this crucial deadline, you should call (904) 353-0436 now to talk with a Jacksonville personal injury attorney from our firm about your options.

Can You Get Compensation for Your Injuries?

When a personal injury claim is successful, the plaintiff or claimant (the injured person) can feel a great sense of accomplishment and justice. Perhaps more importantly, though, a successful plaintiff can feel a sense of relief in knowing that they will receive compensation that helps them get their finances in control again. After all, a serious injury is usually followed by steep costs and expenses, which makes the injury feel even worse. At our law firm, we are passionate about pursuing justice for our clients, but we also understand the importance of securing every last dollar that they deserve.

In your injury claim, you might be owed compensation that helps pay for:

• Medical expenses, including past costs and the cost of care you will need in the future
• Lost wages, including past missed paychecks and reduced earning capacity in the future
• Non-economic losses, including pain, suffering, lessened enjoyment of life, and more
• Punitive damages, which are not always available and are meant to penalize the liable party

What Happens If Your Case Goes to Trial?

No one wants to go to trial, but it can happen in any personal injury case. You never know when the liable party and their insurance company will refuse to cooperate or accept liability. That’s why our Jacksonville personal injury attorney, Mr. Russell B. McCormick, always prepares every single case we take as if it will go to court. Even when it seems likely that a settlement could be possible, he draws upon his years of trial experience and time spent as a prosecutor to get ready for trial.
