Life Happens Here — And So Do Accidents

Picture a day in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea: walking along the coral limestone-lined beach pier, enjoying the local eateries, or diving into the community’s lively festivals. It’s a safe and beautiful place, but accidents happen even in the best communities. From a stumble on an uneven walkway to an unexpected collision on the bustling coastal roads, injuries may bring physical pain, emotional stress, and financial burden. That’s why we believe you deserve a legal partner who truly understands not only the law but also the profound impact these injuries have on your life and family. At Kogan & DiSalvo, we don’t just handle your case—we stand with you.

Navigating Florida’s Personal Injury Laws with Confidence

Florida law surrounding personal injury cases is specific and sometimes complex. The state follows a comparative negligence rule. Simply put, if you share some fault for the accident, your compensation might be reduced based on your percentage of responsibility. For example, if assigned 20% fault, your award reduces by 20%. Navigating this nuanced system requires skilled legal guidance.

Here are critical factors to keep in mind when pursuing a personal injury claim in Florida:

• Statute of Limitations: You generally have four years from the accident date to file a claim. But don’t wait—timely action preserves your rights and strengthens your case.
• Comparative Negligence: Even if you bear partial blame, that doesn’t mean you have no claim. We meticulously investigate to minimize your fault and maximize your recovery.
• Damages You Can Recover: Beyond immediate medical bills, damages may include lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term rehabilitation costs. We work hard to quantify every element of your losses.

Every claim is unique, and we tailor our approach to the facts of your situation, fighting fiercely to protect your future.

Common Injuries and Accidents in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea

While Lauderdale-by-the-Sea offers natural beauty and a peaceful lifestyle, certain personal injury risks are more common due to the area’s geography and community setup:

• Slip and Fall Accidents: Whether it’s an uneven sidewalk, slick floors in shops, or hazards on a beachside boardwalk, property owners must ensure safety. When they don’t, and you get hurt, we’re here to hold them accountable.
• Motor Vehicle Accidents: From busy coastal roads to nearby highways, crashes involving cars, motorcycles, or pedestrians sadly occur. We understand the complex dynamics involved and rigorously investigate every detail—road conditions, driver behavior, and more—to build a strong case.
• Medical Malpractice: Errors by healthcare providers—like delayed diagnosis or surgical mistakes—can cause life-altering harm. Your health deserves advocates who demand accountability and fair redress.
• Product Liability: Injuries stemming from defective products disrupt families and futures. Manufacturers must be held responsible for unsafe goods.

At Kogan & DiSalvo, we handle these and many other injury cases, always approaching each with the personal attention and thoroughness you deserve.
