Negligence

In order to prevail in a personal injury claim for negligence it will be necessary to show that the person responsible for injuring you owed a duty of care to you, that the person responsible breached this duty of care, and that this breach was the proximate cause of the injuries that you sustained.  Everett Law Firm, P.A. will be your advocate in proving to the finder of fact each and every element of your personal injury case.

Intentional Acts (Intentional Torts)

When one is injured from the intentional acts of another it is said they are the victims of an intentional tort.  Intentional torts include assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress (IIED).  To prove an intentional tort it is necessary to show the intent of the tortfeasor.  Everett Law Firm, P.A. will help prove that you were the victim of a purposeful act of the Defendant, whether it be in the context of an assault, batter, false imprisonment or intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Damages

Personal Injury claims allow for two types of damage awards.

Compensatory Damages (actual damage) – These damages are paid to make the victim of negligence or an intentional tort whole. More specifically they are paid to compensate the victim for loss, injury or harm suffered.  It is possible for these damages to include medical expenses (both present and future), property damage, lost wages and pain and suffering. The lawyers of Everett Law Firm, P.A. will work to ensure that you are fully compensated for your injuries to the extent insurance and the law allows.

Punitive Damages – These are damages that are awarded to punish or deter the guilty individual for the conduct that resulted in the injuries to the plaintiff.  The ability to get punitive damages is limited by law in all cases except for victims of Driving While Impaired. The attorneys of Everett Law Firm, P.A. will help you determine if a punitive damage claim is appropriate in your personal injury case and then work with you to maximize your recovery.
