    Various injuries or bodily harm might be considered personal injuries, and you should consider taking legal action for damages. An attorney can review your case and determine if another party can be held responsible for your injuries and the best way to get you compensation.

    Many personal injuries are the result of vehicle accidents, such as car, truck, or motorcycle accidents. In most other cases, the injuries are caused unintentionally through negligence or recklessness. Evidence for your lawsuit will often come from the accident or incident scene and might include photos, videos, and physical evidence. We can also talk to witnesses and obtain medical records to prove the extent of your injuries. Filing a personal injury lawsuit is complicated, and time is of the essence as we prepare to file the case. It is important to contact an attorney as quickly after an injury as you are able.

    Personal injuries are often painful and take time to recover from, and our Pembroke Pines personal injury lawyers can help you begin your case while you focus on getting better. For a free case evaluation, call The Law Offices of David I. Fuchs, Injury & Accident Lawyer, P.A. at (954) 866-1750.

    Damages Available for Injury Cases in Pembroke Pines, FL

    It is important to have one of our Pembroke Pines personal injury lawyers review your case to help you understand what damages could be available. In most injury cases, you can claim damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

    The way that you claim these damages varies from case to case. For example, most car accident claims involve claims to your own no-fault insurance for a portion of the medical bills and lost wages you receive. However, you could be entitled to a lawsuit or insurance claim against the at-fault driver to claim the remainder of your economic damages. Pain and suffering damages might only be allowed if you reach Florida’s “serious injury” threshold with permanent injuries or scarring.

    Where to Find Evidence for Your Pembroke Pines Personal Injury Case

    Your case relies on evidence to move forward, and much evidence might come directly from the accident scene, depending on where and how you were injured. Evidence can be unpredictable, and it is sometimes unavailable or scarce, and proving your claims might be difficult. Our Pembroke Pines personal injury attorneys can help you figure out where to find the evidence you need.

    In many accident cases, people take photos and record videos of the scene to preserve details. Often, this is done for insurance purposes, but the photos and videos can also be used in a personal injury lawsuit. Important details like your injuries, people at the scene, the defendant, and more might be contained within the photos.

    We can also obtain physical evidence from the scene of your injuries. In accidents, physical evidence might involve things like damaged vehicles, personal belongings, and anything you can hold up in front of a jury.

    Even if physical evidence is hard to come by, we can build a strong case using witness testimony. Details from witnesses with first-hand knowledge about your injuries can be very persuasive, especially when multiple witnesses back up your claims. We can track down eyewitnesses from the scene of your injuries or other witnesses who might have other knowledge relevant to the case.

    Certain records might also be important pieces of evidence. For example, your medical records are often necessary to prove to a jury how bad your injuries were. In many cases, we can have medical experts testify about your medical records and how your injuries were probably caused. If an employee on the job injured you, certain business records might come in handy to prove negligence.

    How to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Pembroke Pines

    Filing a personal injury lawsuit is harder than many people believe. While filing the case involves filing certain legal documents with the court, there is a lot of work to do before the case is ready for filing. Our Pembroke Pines personal injury attorneys can help you prepare your case, so you are fully prepared to fight for compensation.

    Your lawsuit begins with an initial complaint. The complaint is an important legal document that must contain very specific details. If certain details are lacking, the court might reject the case altogether. We must include information about you, the defendant, your injuries, and your damages. We must also include enough evidence in the complaint to prove that your case warrants moving forward to trial.

    We must also make sure we file the complaint in the correct court. Not all courts are the same, and courts are not responsible for where cases get filed. Instead, plaintiffs are responsible for making sure the court they submit their complaint to has proper jurisdiction to hear the case. If the court determines it does not have jurisdiction over your case, it will reject the case, and we must start over.

    Filing your case also requires that we serve notice on the defendant. Serving notice is incredibly important because it lets the defendant know they are being sued and when to respond. If we fail to serve notice to the defendant or serve notice in the wrong way, the case might be thrown out.

    “…the settlement I received was much higher than anticipated”

    Fuchs was my car accident attorney and was very responsive from the first call. I had medical care the next day and the whole process was smooth. They handled everything with the insurance companies and coordinated all of the necessary medical information. It was a long process and in the end the settlement I received was much higher than anticipated I am more than happy and grateful for the outcome.

    “…they didn’t settle for anything and my boyfriend and I got what we deserved.”

    I got in an accident in December 2021 when everyone was short staffed and insurance companies was not responsive. My boyfriend reached out to David F. and what a life changing experience. We had the pleasure of having all our worries handed to professional help. They worked diligently on our case, answered questions when asked and kept us updated on changes. More importantly they didn’t settle for anything and my boyfriend and I got what we deserved. I have dealt with others in the past but David got me the most according to the facts presented and never backed down when the insurance companies tried to make us settle for less. Thank you David, Jessica and the team for all your effort and hard work. I will recommend them to family and friends. [They’re] the best in town!

    “Mr. Fuchs is one of the hardest working attorneys that I know.”

    Mr. Fuchs is one of the hardest working attorneys that I know. He is really good at what he does and puts 110% in you case. I have been using him for 19 years now and refer all my friends to him. I can leave him alone with my case and not call him all the time. I know he is working hard in my case. When he has any information he calls me and we go from there. There are not a lot of attorneys I can do that with! If you have any Personal Injuries please do call him. You won’t be disappointed!!
