Welcome to Simply Legal’s: Did You Know Injury Law Segment. Here we go

Did you know? That in Florida, you only have two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Miss that deadline, and your case could be thrown out—no matter how serious your injuries are.

Did you know? That even if you were partially at fault for an accident, you may still recover damages—but only if you were 50% or less at fault under Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule.

Legal Lingo #1: “Pre-Suit Demand”

Legal Lingo #2: “Pain and Suffering”
Definition: A type of non-economic damages that compensates you for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by an injury. Example: If you suffer chronic back pain and anxiety after an accident, you may be awarded damages for pain and suffering—even if your medical bills are low.

Welcome to Simply Legal – In Today’s IN THE NEWS SEGMENT, I want to highlight two lawsuits we just filed—both involving serious harm and a breach of trust.

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT :

“First, we’re representing a pedestrian who suffered life-altering injuries after being struck at an intersection in Ruskin. She lost a limb due to a reckless driver and a lack of proper street safety measures. We are holding those responsible accountable for their negligence.”

“In another case, a Palm Beach County family is fighting for justice after their deceased son’s $1.6 million settlement was fraudulently taken by a relative. She misled the courts, fabricated documents, and deprived grieving parents of what was rightfully theirs. We’re making sure justice is served.”

“These cases show the importance of experienced trial lawyers who will fight for what’s right. If you or a loved one need legal help, Call or text us anytime at: 813-254-1777. I am Attorney Gil Sanchez with Black Rock Trial Lawyers and we represent people and businesses throughout Florida

Topic:
What’s a Statute of Limitation and How Does that Effect My Legal Case?

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT :
Welcome to Simply Legal! Simply put, the statute of limitations is the deadline to file a lawsuit. If you wait too long, you lose your right to sue. Here in Florida, the time limit depends on the type of case:

• Personal injury cases? You have 2 yearsto file.
• Breach of contract? It depends on whether the contract is written or oral:
• Written contracts have a 5-yearstatute of limitations.
• Oral contracts have a 4-year statute of limitations.
• Civil rights violations? You have 4 yearsto take action.
• Worker’s compensation injuries? You have 2 years from the date you knew or should have known about the injury.
• Workplace Discrimination claims? Under anti-discrimination laws, you only have 180 days from the date of discrimination to file a charge with the EEOC.
  If you miss the deadline to file suit, your case gets dismissed—no matter how strong your claim is.
  So, if you think you have a case, don’t wait. Call or text us anytime at: 813-254-1777. I am Attorney Gil Sanchez with Black Rock Trial Lawyers and we represent people and businesses throughout Florida.

What Option Do You Have If Your Injured in An #AutoAccident but the At-Fault Driver Has No Insurance? 👉 File a #Lawsuit and Suspend Their License 🎤#AttorneyGilSánchez

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT :

Welcome to Simply Legal! Unfortunately, in Florida, drivers are not required to carry bodily injury insurance. What does this mean for you? If you’re involved in an auto accident and the other driver is at fault, there’s a chance they may not have insurance coverage to compensate you for your injuries and damage to your vehicle. But don’t worry—if the at-fault driver is either uninsured or underinsured, you still have options. One of those options is to file a civil lawsuit against the at-fault driver (and the owner of the vehicle) to seek compensation for your injuries and property damage. A lawsuit not only protects your rights but could lead to the suspension of the at-fault party’s driver’s license until they fairly compensate you. It’s important to know that in Florida, you only have two years from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit. Time is of the essence, so don’t wait to get the legal help you need.

If you’ve been in an accident anywhere in Florida, call or text me anytime at: 813-254-1777. We’re here to help you through the process and fight for the compensation you deserve. I am Attorney Gil Sanchez with Black Rock Trial Lawyers, and we represent people and businesses throughout Florida.

I was in a car accident while on the job, what claims can I make?

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT :
If you are involved in a car accident while on the job, you are entitled to make a workers compensation claim to receive medical treatment, payment of medical bills and loss wages. If the driver who caused the accident was at-fault, you can also make a bodily injury claim against them.
