Automobile, Motorcycle, and Watercraft or Boating Accidents
It’s natural to be apprehensive after a boat or auto accident. Even when you’ve been hurt, you might not know what to expect.
Florida follows a doctrine of pure comparative fault—that means, if you’ve been injured, your recovery might be diminished if the other person points the finger at you.
Let us advocate your boat or auto accident claim so that you can focus on getting moving again. Auto accidents are one of the most prevalent causes of injury or death in Lakeland, FL and across Polk County and we are committed to doing everything in our power to achieve the best possible legal outcomes for accident victims.
Wrongful Death Claims
Many accidental deaths in cities such as Bartow, Lakeland and Winter Haven are caused by the negligence of others, leaving the family and loved ones feeling as if there is nothing and no one to turn to. However it is important for residents in and around Polk Country and across Central Florida to be aware of the legal resources available in the event of the following:
- • Motor vehicle crashes
- • Fires and burns
- • Carbon monoxide poisoning
- • Drowning
- • Firearms
- • Medical complications
- • Machinery accidents
We understand the needs of survivors. Our experienced counsel can help you determine potential liability and the full value of your loss, including emotional devastation due to wrongful death. Having over 35 years of experience, our wrongful death attorneys combine effective legal strategies with an unmatched level of professionalism to protect the rights of injured victims.
Traumatic Personal Injuries and Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy
Our injury attorneys have had notable success in pursuing traumatic personal injury claims, specifically as they relate to Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).
This chronic pain disorder arises as a complication of a traumatic personal injury, an infection, heart attack, surgery, or a repetitive motion disorder such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
Sufferers undergo misfiring neural responses that create lasting pain and can result in total disability.
We know these cases are tough to litigate, because the medical community won’t always recognize the disorder. But our skilled arguments may help you gain compensation if you suffer from RSD or other traumatic injuries.
Head & Spinal Injury Lawyers
Both head and spinal injuries frequently occur as a result of motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, and from many other situations. These injuries typically leave victims facing a difficult and costly long-term recovery period. All too often, individuals never recover completely. Permanent brain damage or irreparably-damage spinal cords can leave them with cognitive disabilities, paralysis, or other medical issues, requiring a lifetime of expensive personal care and therapy with no prospects of returning to work.
If you or a loved one suffers head or spinal injury from an accident caused by the negligence of another person, you need an injury lawyer who has a network of skilled medical resources available to help accurately assess the true long-term costs and pursue the current and future costs associated with these serious injuries.
Our head and spinal injury law firm has a track record of success helping accident victims pursue the settlements and awards they need to help secure the best possible future for victims and their families. Our spinal injury and head injury attorneys are here to help you get the most out of your claims.
Slip and Fall Attorneys
A trip to the grocery store or a walk through a public parking lot should not be a memorable event. But when individuals responsible for property maintenance fail to address safety issues, serious accidents can result, such as the following:
- • Heavy items falling from shelves and striking unsuspecting shoppers
- • Slips on wet floors or trips on unsecured carpets, often with traumatic results
- • Spinal cord or head injuries from slipping and falling on icy sidewalks
- • Injuries caused by criminal activities made possible by poorly-lit public areas
When you bring your case to the slip and fall law firm of Fulmer & Fulmer, we provide ethical and detailed support as we guide you through the often-difficult legal process. Each slip and fall attorney at our firm has the experience and dedication you need to protect your rights—whether you seek compensation from an individual property owner or a large business.
Premises Liability Law Firm
Dangerous premises can result in serious injury and those injured may hold property owners and management companies liable. Premises liability is a legal term that applies to a broad scope of accidents and injuries caused by failure to repair hazards and maintain safe buildings or grounds. Common accidents that a premises liability lawyer can handle include:
- • Slip and fall accidents
- • Criminal assaults due to negligent security
- • Swimming pool accidents
- • Elevator collapse accidents & escalator malfunction accidents
A premises liability attorney must prove that the property owner should have known about the hazardous condition, failed to warn or repair it, and that the hazard caused the client’s injury. One the most common types of premises liability cases are slip and fall accidents.
