Personal injury covers a broad spectrum when someone has been physically or emotionally injured, and/or personal property has been damaged. In legal circles, personal injury law is known as, "tort" law, which is the French word for 'wrong'. So, tort law is the law that is established to allow a person to be compensated in the event when someone's carelessness, recklessness, or intentional misconduct injures or damages you or your personal belongings. When someone driving a car slams into the back of your car, that is a tort, and the person driving is the tortfeasor...which means wrongdoer. Here in the US we usually call that person the defendant, and the injured person we call the "plaintiff" or "claimant." Suffice it to say, that if you've been hurt or had damage or loss at the hand of some else, I can help you recover compensation from that party..
An area of law we often deal with is Medical Malpractice, which involves recovering compensation for injured clients due to the negligence of medical professionals. At times this is made even more serious, if the injured party expires. This can involve a doctor, nurse or other hospital employee, or may involve a group of them. If the Medical Malpractice results in a Wrongful Death claim, the details of the case are all the more important and must be established quickly. Irrefutable and proven facts of the case have a huge impact on its outcome.
Polk County Florida law practice, Echemendia Law Firm, champions the victims of car accidents, motorcycle accidents, personal injuries and the families of wrongful death victims. When an automobile accident occurs, it is of vital importance that measures are taken to promptly preserve and secure evidence and investigate the details of the incident in question. Because of the increased incidence of questionable lawsuits, we also represent those accused of causing the accident. Prompt response in contacting me after an accident is very important to the outcome of your case. Some people call me an accident attorney... or an accident lawyer... but the fact is that I'm a lawyer who stands by people like YOU when disasters break out.
I've also been called an injury attorney, because I represent people, or the families of people, who've suffered through some form of personal injury to body, mind, or emotions. If you have lost a child or spouse or parent, and you believe their death could have, and should have, been avoided and that someone is responsible...call me. Let's sit down and talk and I'll do all I can to help determine what can be done.
Most people have heard of Product Liability, in one way or another. For instance, when there were stories in the news several years ago about individuals filing lawsuits against an automobile company because their SUV's were rolling easily and in some cases killing people inside. This is product liability. It can involve pharmaceutical products, automobiles, bicycles, baby’s car seats, or any other item that has the ability to cause injury or death when used improperly.
