Serious Accidents

We often think of serious accidents as something that happens to other people.  You may have heard of people getting seriously injured, or even killed during an accident, but you probably thought it wouldn’t happen to you.  If you have been through a serious accident, you know exactly how one traumatic event can change your life forever.

Who can I turn to?
If you or someone you know has been seriously injured or killed during an accident, it is critical that you get the advice of a trial lawyer as soon as possible. An attorney experienced in personal injury law is your key to receiving proper compensation for your losses.

The Law Offices of William K. Saron, have been helping the injured in Florida for over 20 years.   In order to better serve our diverse population, my offices can assist you in English, French, Spanish and Creole. 

Unlike large impersonal firms, I offer one-on-one service and only take cases that I believe in.  By only accepting select cases, I can dedicate my time and effort to your case, assuring that you are not just another file sitting on someone’s desk.  Instead, I see each client as a partner and will work with you to get you and your family the money you need to get your life back on track.

What is a serious accident?
A serious accident occurs when a catastrophic event leaves you with permanent physical injuries.  Some injuries are severe enough to cause the death of a loved one.  Other serious injuries include:

• Spinal cord damage
• Brain injuries
• Broken bones
• Head wounds
• Paralysis
• Amputation
• Disfigurement
• Back and neck injuries
• Permanent pain

You May Be Entitled to Compensation
If this accident was due to the neligent actions of others, you have the right to seek compensation for ongoing medical care and lost wages.  Ongoing costs of serious injuries can be hard to estimate.  Some of these costs include:

• Physical Therapy
• Nursing Care
• Adaptive equipment
• Psychological therapy
• Reconstructive surgery
  

Insurance companies will undervalue your injuries and the extent of your disability.  The companies’ initial offer may only be enough to cover your initial expenses.  A Florida insurance adjuster may pressure you to settle and sign a release.  However, only an experienced serious injury attorney understands the ongoing costs of your physical care and lost wages.  As an experienced trial attorney, I understand complex injuries and can communicate your needs to the insurance adjusters, or if need be, a jury.  I will work alongside your doctors to ensure that you and your family have the money you need to see you through these trying times.

I believe I have had a serious accident.  What do I do next?
After a serious injury, it is crucial that you contact a trial attorney who limits his practice to personal injury law.  Do not sign any forms or admit fault without the advice of that attorney.  If you inadvertently sign insurance forms or admit fault, it can seriously harm your claim.  Contact the Law Offices of William K. Saron, P.A. today.  Don’t wreck your injury case.
