Answers to Your Questions About Your Florida Accident Case

If you have been injured in an accident, you may have many questions. You may be wondering whether you are entitled to compensation, whether you should speak with the insurance adjuster, or whether an insurance settlement offer is fair. The personal injury attorneys in the West Palm Beach Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb understand that when you have been involved in an accident, you want answers. We want to provide you with the information you need, so that you can make educated decisions about your case. 

Do not let an insurance company intimidate you into an unfair settlement.
The insurance industry is powerful and uses its substantial resources to fight claims. Insurance companies regularly use intimidation and other sly tactics to force accident victims to settle quickly and for less than a fair amount. Standing against the insurance industry may appear daunting, but the injury attorneys at our firm have been successfully fighting insurance giants for many years. We provide clients with the kind of care and attention as a small law firm does, but we have big firm resources-monetary capital and a staff of lawyers and legal assistants-to battle the insurance industry.

You may have a right to compensation.
Injuries sustained in an accident, such as an auto accident or a slip and fall accident, can leave a person physically, financially, and emotionally drained. If you are unable to work because of your injuries or you have incurred expensive medical costs, you may worry about your financial future.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Auto accidents cause some of the most serious types of injuries. Although many cars and trucks are safer than ever before, injuries caused by another person's negligence or by auto defects still happen. If you have sustained injuries in a Florida auto accident, you may be entitled to compensation. Contact a West Palm Beach auto accident attorney at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb to schedule a consultation.

Medical Malpractice

An act of medical negligence or lack of action by a healthcare professional is what creates medical malpractice. It could be a careless diagnosis or treatment, or inadequate disease management. If the medical negligence leads to injury or further illness for the patient, that doctor or other healthcare professional is open to legal action based on medical malpractice. If you're a victim of medical malpractice in Florida, contact our West Palm Beach medical malpractice attorneys today.

Legal Malpractice

When you hire an attorney, you expect him or her to keep your best interests in mind, and to guide you through difficult legal matters. After all, the law has high ethical standards. But what happens when that lawyer turns out to be negligent in representing you and you suffer financially?

Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse

Don't assume that, because your loved one is elderly, their reports of nursing home abuse and neglect are untrue. While this can sometimes occur, it is always best to assume mistreatment may be taking place, and to investigate fully before discounting what your loved one is telling you. Contact the Florida Nursing Home Attorneys at The Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb if you suspect nursing home neglect or abuse in the West Palm Beach area.

Heart Attacks in Public Places

If you or a loved one suffered sudden cardiac arrest in a public place in South Florida, might an AED defibrillator have prevented further injury or death? If so, you may be entitled to compensation for injury or death.

Premises Liability and Falls

Slip and fall accidents can occur anywhere, including in a store or even in a private home. If the injury occurred because of an unsafe condition on the property, you may be entitled to damages for the injuries you sustained. The personal injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb have experience handling cases involving slip and fall accidents throughout the South Florida area, including West Palm Beach.

Wrongful Death

In the tragic situation when a family member is lost as a result of the negligence of another, the survivors have the right to file a lawsuit to seek compensation for that loss. Victims of serious personal injury and wrongful death can rely on our team to help.

Product Defects and Liability

In Florida, Product Liability law protects an individual's right to hire an attorney and seek compensation for personal injury due to the use of a defective or improperly designed product. Our defective product lawyer team is excellent at defending these consumer rights.

Boating Accidents

Boat accidents can occur with personal water craft, on other pleasure boats, or on cruise ships. These cases require an understanding of maritime law as well as personal injury law.

Whistleblower/Government Overbilling or Fraud

Some large companies try to defraud the Federal Government by billing Medicare, Medicaid, or some other government agency for bills that are not accurate or are fraudulently submitted for services that never occurred.
Both Florida law and Federal law provide that the person who reports such fraud may be entitled to up to 30% of the amount recovered in the matter.

Dog Bites

In Florida, dog owners can be held "strictly liable" for the actions of their dogs. This means that the attorney might not have to prove that the dog owner was negligent. Due to the complexity of the law in this area, it would always be best to consult a dog bite attorney.

Workers' Compensation

If you have been injured at work, you may have a claim for Workers Compensation, which is a very specialized area of law.

Social Security Disability Claims

The Federal Government provides Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits to individuals who cannot work because of physical and/or medical problems. At The Law Offices of Craig Goldenfarb in West Palm Beach, Florida, we work diligently to assist clients in obtaining the social security disability benefits they deserve.

Drownings and Near Drownings

If you lost a relative, whether a child or an adult, in a drowning accident, we can help you recover monetary compensation for a variety of losses including loss of future income, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering. Regardless of the age of the drowning victim, if it could have been prevented, you need legal representation.
