You Probably Never Thought You Would Find Yourself at the Website of a Florida Accident and Workers' Compensation Attorney. Then again, You Probably Never Thought You or a Loved One Would Be Seriously Injured.

Florida Injury Victims Need an Accident Attorney on Their Side to Level the Playing Field Against the Insurance Companies

When an accident occurs in Fort Lauderdale or other areas of South Florida, experienced legal representation is a crucial element towards receiving fair treatment. Auto accidents, workers' compensation, slip and fall or premises liability, wrongful death, and social security disability cases are all instances in which aggressive and professional legal counsel can help you receive financial compensation for your losses.

Despite the many commercials and the catchy slogans, the main purpose of insurance companies is to make money, and they are doing just that. In fact, the insurance industry consistently makes billions every year. Insurance adjusters will often do everything they can to minimize their responsibility to their clients, including denying, delaying and confusing their clients in an effort to pay as little as possible for claims. And it isn't just the insurer of the person responsible for the accident; with Florida's no-fault-insurance laws, your own insurance company will fight just as hard to avoid having to pay the costs for your injuries.

David M. Benenfeld is an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer

As frightening and frustrating as an injury can be, the best way to resolve things in your favor is to have an attorney who has a thorough understanding of both Florida law and insurance company tactics.

Bicycle Accidents

Many people ride bicycles in Florida, and why not? We have great weather, biking is good for you, and with the price of gas these days it's an economical way to get around. Unfortunately, given the number of bicyclists and the way some Floridians drive, our state has led the nation in the number of people killed in bicycle accidents every year since 2001. In 2008, 125 bicyclists were killed in Florida, and many thousands more were seriously injured. Read More

Motorcycle Accidents

It should come as no surprise that in accidents between a motorcyclist and a car or other larger vehicle, the motorcyclist suffers far greater injury. The severity of the injury depends on factors such as how fast the vehicles were going at impact, the size of the motorcyclist and his or her passenger, and if the people on the motorcycle were wearing helmets. Sometimes the operator of the bike gets lucky and only suffers minor injuries like cuts and bruises. Unfortunately, the injuries are often much more severe, including broken bones, disfigurement, spinal cord and/or brain damage, paralysis, and loss of life. Read More

Trucking Accidents

Please visit our dedicated site on trucking accidents

An inordinate number of severe injuries and deaths on our nation's roads result from accidents involving trucks. Statistics bear this out: 12 percent of traffic fatalities involve large commercial trucks, yet these trucks account for only 7 percent of the miles driven in America. When a car collides with a truck, 98 percent of the people killed in the collision were riding in the car, or the person driving the car. Tragic, but not surprising, considering the disparity in size between a commercial truck and the average automobile. Read More

Nursing Home Abuse

Please visit our dedicated site on nursing home abuse

Over 90 percent of nursing homes were cited for federal health and safety violations in 2007, according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Given the extraordinary number of violations, it should come as no surprise that outright abuse is widespread as well, although precise statistics are hard to come by. Why? Victims of abuse are often unable or afraid to make complaints about their treatment. Many victims will not even tell family members that they are being abused because they are afraid of being punished by the perpetrators for "blowing the whistle." Furthermore, it can be hard to determine if a loved one is being abused unless you know the signs and symptoms to look for, which are not always obvious. Read More

Wrongful Death

A wrongful death case isn’t about revenge or spite. In many cases it’s about a family that has to contend with the sudden loss of half (or sometimes all) of their income. There are hospital bills, which have to be paid. There are funeral costs that have to be paid. There is the fact that this family will have to go without what the deceased contributed to their household, both in real monetary value and what they brought in terms of stability and emotional value. These aren’t difficulties that are made up, or exaggerated. They are very real, and they can ruin the lives of the survivors. If you have lost a loved one due to the negligence of others, David M. Benenfeld can help. Read More
