If you were in an accident or injured due to the negligence or carelessness of another party, it can be a stressful time for you and your family.

You might also ask yourself if you need to consult a personal injury lawyer to seek compensation for your injuries.

In most cases, you may need an experienced personal injury attorney to guide you through the maze of a personal injury claim. The Law Offices of Matthew J. Jowanna, P.A. can oversee the legal process and help you obtain any damages owed to you so you can focus on your recovery.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INJURY LAW?

Personal injury law allows an injured party to file a claim in civil court in order to receive damages for losses as a result of a physical or mental injury caused by another person, business, or other entity. Personal injury circumstances include, but are not limited to, car accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip & fall, and negligent security. The personal injury system is designed to financially compensate the injured who has suffered harm as a result of another party’s neglectful or intentional conduct.

DO I NEED A LAWYER?

Having an attorney well-versed in personal injury law is an advantage. Our lawyers know the Florida personal injury laws and how they may pertain to your case. We know in which county and court to file your case, where higher jury awards are offered, and the likelihood of your case going to trial.
