Automobile Negligence

Maximizing Your Car Accident Claim

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is sometimes referred to as Florida’s “No-Fault” auto insurance. PIP auto insurance covers you and relatives residing in your household for injuries sustained in a car 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 your PIP insurance policy, which is usually $10,000. Florida law requires every owner of a motor vehicle registered in Florida to carry PIP to protect themselves in the event of injuries sustained in a car accident. For injuries sustained in a car accident, PIP coverage is primary over any health insurance.

Relying on insurance companies to cover expenses after a car accident is usually not the best option for you, as their focus is on minimizing their liability. Insurance companies are not concerned about the long term effects of your injuries and how it will impact your quality of life.  Once you hire the Dennis G. Fano, Jr., Esq. of Fano Law, P.A. to take your case, you won’t need to speak with the insurance company at all, everything will be handled for you.

You Have A Right To Be Safe

When a corporation or company of any type manufactures a product including but not limited to medical equipment, toys, or a motor vehicle etc… they have the responsibility to make sure that the product functions properly and is safe. Any product could be defective or have flaws that go undetected, and ends up being purchased. When consumers purchases defective/faulty products there is always a chance of injury and also sometimes the chance of death occurring with severe defects/faults.

Strict Dog Liability

Bad Dogs Can Give Good Dogs A Bad Name

Dog owners are responsible for their dog at all times. Dog related injuries such as bites can be very serious. In worse case scenarios some attacks can lead to irreversible damage or even death. Someone bit by a dog is at the risk of needing stitches, developing an infection, or can cause bad scarring. Also there is a possibility of needing plastic surgery or having permanent nerve damage.

Victims may be able to receive damages for forfeited work wages ,medical bills(including, current, past, and future), emotional and physical pain and suffering.

According to Florida law, dog owners may be held liable if their dog bites someone on the owners property or in a public place. Florida’s law goes by a theory of strict liability. Strict liability means dog owners could be held accountable for what ever their dog does, with no regard to fault or intent. A plaintiff does not need proof of injury being a result of negligence on the defendants part.
