In cases like this, thorough investigation and strategic legal action can lead to substantial compensation.
This settlement provided critical resources for ongoing medical care, lost income replacement, and future needs—offering stability during a challenging recovery.
When circumstances allow and liability is clear, experienced legal representation can make a meaningful difference in premises liability matters involving catastrophic harm.

Our job is to build an airtight case rooted in Florida law, expert testimony, and comprehensive medical documentation. We fight to ensure every defendant is held accountable and that our clients receive compensation that truly reflects the full scope of their injuries, future care needs, and lost quality of life. It's not just about winning a settlement; it's about restoring hope and providing the resources families need to rebuild.

How We Build Winning Multi-Defendant Cases
Learn how our lawyers navigate Florida's complex premises liability laws to secure meaningful settlements for victims.
Medical documentation forms the foundation of severe injury claims. We gather complete hospital records, physician assessments, surgical reports, and rehabilitation notes to prove the full extent and permanence of your injuries. This comprehensive evidence supports claims for future medical care, pain and suffering, and associated costs, strengthening your position during settlement negotiations in premises liability cases.
Expert witnesses are essential in complex premises liability cases. In this situation, we worked with safety engineers, code compliance professionals, and medical experts who provided credible testimony showing how property conditions caused our client's injuries. Their objective analysis helped demonstrate the full scope of negligence and supported our client's claim for appropriate compensation.
Advanced diagnostic imaging—such as MRIs, CT scans, and digital X-rays—helps reveal the full scope and potential permanence of an injury. These images allow our legal team to definitively link the accident to long-term harm while ruling out pre-existing or alternative causes. Since insurers and courts rely heavily on visual proof, diagnostic imaging serves as a powerful tool for demonstrating medical necessity and supporting calculations for future damages in cases like this.
A life care plan translates your injuries into a detailed financial forecast, projecting future medical, assistive, and rehabilitative needs. Our team partners with certified planners to document everything from therapies and surgeries to adaptive equipment and home modifications, ensuring any settlement truly covers your needs for a lifetime.
A thorough economic analysis calculates both your past and future financial losses with precision. This goes beyond medical bills to include lost wages, lost benefits, diminished earning capacity, and long-term care costs. In this case, we worked with forensic accountants and economists to substantiate every dollar claimed, helping us secure a settlement that reflected the true, lifelong economic impact of a catastrophic property injury.
Common Premises Liability Questions Answered
Florida's premises liability laws can be complex, especially when severe injuries and multiple parties are involved. Here are answers to common questions about your rights and our proven approach.
In Florida, premises liability holds property owners responsible when their negligence causes injury. To win your claim, you'll typically need to prove four things: the property owner owed you a duty of care, they breached it, that breach caused your injury, and you suffered real damages. When circumstances allow, this legal framework can help secure the compensation you deserve.
Yes. Florida law allows you to pursue compensation from all parties who contributed to the unsafe conditions. In cases like this, an experienced attorney conducts a thorough investigation to identify every responsible party—including property owners, contractors, and maintenance companies—to maximize your recovery. The specific outcome depends on each party's insurance coverage and degree of fault.
For a severe injury claim, strong evidence is crucial. Key items typically include complete medical records, photographs and videos of the unsafe conditions, official incident reports, testimony from safety and building code experts, and comprehensive documentation of all your financial losses and ongoing medical needs. In cases like this, the strength of your evidence often determines the outcome.
Settlement amounts in catastrophic cases depend on injury severity and permanence, projected long-term medical needs, strength of liability evidence, and the number of responsible parties with available insurance coverage. In cases like this one, these factors often result in multi-million dollar outcomes when circumstances support comprehensive recovery.
The timeline varies widely depending on each case's unique circumstances. Straightforward claims might resolve in a few months, while complex cases involving catastrophic injuries and multiple defendants often take a year or longer. Factors like investigation depth, evidence discovery, and defendants' settlement willingness all play a role. In many cases, prompt investigation by an experienced lawyer can lead to faster, stronger outcomes.
In catastrophic premises liability cases, you can often recover medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and compensation for permanent disability. In some situations, punitive damages may apply. A detailed economic and medical analysis helps prove every element of your loss.
Florida generally allows two years from your injury date to file a premises liability lawsuit. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation entirely. Early consultation with an attorney helps preserve evidence, document injuries thoroughly, and build the strongest possible case while time is on your side.
Initially, your health insurance (if you have coverage) will typically cover your medical bills. However, the settlement or verdict we pursue is designed to recover those costs from the negligent property owners and their insurers. In many cases like this, the settlement also provides resources for your future medical needs and ongoing care.
Yes, especially in complex cases with catastrophic injuries or multiple defendants. An experienced lawyer handles the critical details: gathering evidence, coordinating with experts, negotiating aggressively, and ensuring compliance with laws like Florida Statute § 768.0755. In situations like this case, professional legal representation often makes the difference between inadequate offers and settlements that truly cover your needs.
Florida's comparative negligence law lets courts assign fault percentages to each responsible party. Through detailed investigation and expert testimony, your attorney can prove each defendant's role in causing your injury. This often results in settlements or verdicts structured to reflect each party's share of total damages, helping ensure you receive full compensation when circumstances allow.
