Criminal Law

• Criminal Defense
  Pensacola sits in a section of the Gulf Coast where there are seemingly an endless number of coves for anglers to apply their talents. The city also is home to a wide variety of water recreational activities that dramatically raises the risk of boating accidents. Many of the same causes of car accidents are the same causes of boating accidents, such as the overconsumption of alcohol. Operating a registered boat in Florida while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol is considered a serious criminal defense. Another common cause of boating accidents is risky operating maneuvers, such as turning a boat too sharp at a high rate of speed.
• DUI/DWI
  The most frequent examples of personal injury lawsuits are car accidents, although related premises liability cases, such as slip and fall or dog bites, may also be considered. Personal injury also incorporates wrongful death lawsuits, which are filed on behalf of someone who was killed in an accident. Some of the most common causes of vehicle accidents include distracted driving, drowsy driving, improper maintenance on truck vehicles, drunk driving, driving under the influence of drugs, or aggressive driving.
• Wrongful Death
  Wrongful death - If you lost a family member due to negligence or the reckless actions of another party, you could be entitled to collect compensation for funeral and burial expenses, lost income, any medical expenses they incurred prior to passing, loss of companionship, and more. We understand this is a difficult time, and we can help take the pressure of legal actions off your shoulders while you grieve.
• Traffic Violations
  Between your physical damage and your expenses, you’ll have a lot to recover from. The situation is only further worsened if the accident wasn’t your fault, especially if your injuries are due to another person’s negligence. Negligence is defined differently depending on the case at hand, but it essentially describes an individual's lack of care in a situation where they had a legal responsibility to be aware of their surroundings. Someone’s reckless driving could be considered negligence, as would a property owner’s failure to maintain their premises and allowing a hazard to form. In either case, the victim could have avoided the damage if the at-fault party acted responsibly, making the situation all the more frustrating for the person suffering the consequences.
• Sex Crimes
  Property owners who do not install adequate security measures potentially subject their visitors and guests to an unreasonably high risk of becoming victims of crimes such as sexual assault, violent robbery, shootings, and others. While appropriate security measures can vary depending on the type of property in question, general examples include...
• Robbery
• Assault
• Homicide
  However, to have a claim, you must prove that the property owner did not take adequate precautions to keep you reasonably safe from harm. Owners could be responsible for your damages if they did not take appropriate security measures for the property in question, such as...
• Hit and Run
  There are far too many situations in which the person who may have caused your accident left the scene. This generates a whole new round of questions, including determining who may be responsible for your injuries by conducting a full accident investigation. In a hit-and-run accident, it is extremely important to retain knowledgeable personal injury attorneys as soon as possible because of the complex factors associated with gathering this information.

Business and Corporate Law

• Business Disputes

Employment Law

• Workers Compensation
  For instance, an experienced car accident attorney is better suited to handle your case if you've been injured in a car accident. On the other hand, if you have an employment dispute with your employer, you'll need a labor and employment attorney specializing in cases such as worker's compensation, unpaid overtime, discrimination, sexual abuse, and so on.
• Employment Discrimination
• Employment Litigation
  A skilled injury lawyer should have experience in handling cases similar to yours. Keep in mind that personal injury law is extensive; from car accidents and employment disputes to product liability cases, you need a lawyer specializing in your specific case.

Property Law

• Premises Liability
  Premises liability laws in Florida determine that property owners and other responsible parties must ensure that their premises are reasonably safe for visitors. Responsibilities include ensuring that a property is well-maintained and free from slipping and tripping hazards. Property owners must also implement adequate security measures, especially in high-crime areas.

Health Law

• Personal Injury
  While The Villages offers gated entries, community watches, and a generally safe and secure lifestyle, sometimes life is unpredictable, and you might need an attorney for an accident. There are dozens of matters where a personal injury lawyer in the Village, FL, can provide valuable assistance. You have rights when you’ve been harmed through the negligence of other parties and deserve to be compensated.
• Medical Malpractice
  Negligent actions (or, in some cases, inactions) revolve around whether the defendant acted in a manner that a reasonable person would under similar circumstances. For example, suppose you were seriously hurt in a car accident that allowed you to step out of Florida's no-fault insurance law. In that case, a jury might look to see if the other driver ran a red light or broke any other traffic laws. Another example is medical malpractice. A great deal hinges on whether your doctor used judgment that would not reflect the standards of their profession. Instead, they did something that no other reasonable doctor would do if confronted with the same situation.
• Auto Accidents
• Social Security Disability
• Dog Bites
  Dog bites - Although The Villages is a pet-friendly community, that doesn’t mean every dog is friendly or every pet owner manages them responsibly. Dog attacks can sometimes even turn out deadly. In Florida, dog owners are liable if their dog causes harm to persons, other domestic animals, and livestock. Even if you’re bitten by a dog in a friend's home to which you were invited, they can be held liable, and the dog does not need to be known as a vicious dog to do so unless they have a sign posted that includes the words “Bad Dog.” Still, Florida does reduce the percentage of liability if the owner can prove the dog was provoked, excluding if the injured party is under six years of age.
• Slip and Fall Injury
  Whether you suffered a slip and fall injury at Publix or the Winn-Dixie, or you were in a car accident in one of the notoriously dangerous Gainesville intersections, we can provide the quality legal counsel you need to win compensation for your injuries.
