Motor Vehicle Accidents
Top Florida Auto Accident Lawyers Working For You
At Kurzban, Kurzban, Weinger & Tetzeli, P.A., one of Florida's leading personal injury law firms, we help people who have suffered all kinds of motor vehicle accidents get the compensation they deserve. Every day, Floridians suffer terrible car collisions, motorcycle crashes, trucking accidents, boating accidents, semi-truck / eighteen-wheeler accidents, drunk driving accidents, drug-related crashes, and other related accidents. Victims of other drivers' recklessness face medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages, all of which deserve the attention of a skilled personal injury attorney dedicated to seeking justice.
What We Can Do
In Florida, injuries sustained in motor vehicle accidents must be above a certain threshold for a lawsuit to be filed. There must be permanent, significant injury or scarring involved. Our firm concentrates on the people who need the most help, up to and including helping people who have lost a loved one file Wrongful Death claims and seeking justice for those suffering Catastrophic Injuries. Unfortunately, our lawyers cannot devote our energies to whiplash cases and other, relatively minor, injuries.
Only the Best Expert Witnesses
Our attorneys must be selective because we invest an incredible amount of money and energy in every case. All personal injury law firms hire expert witnesses, but our firm hires only the most qualified experts in the country. For example, when we need an engineering expert, we don't seek out just anyone; we go straight to the head of MIT's Metallurgy or Body Mechanics departments. Some personal injury lawyers retain their own in-house experts, but we believe that such "experts" can hardly give the impartial and unbiased views we need to effectively present the facts of a case.
Our Successes
This extra effort and expense brings results. In one case, our attorneys gained a $2.8 million judgment against an insurance company for uninsured / underinsured coverage in a single car accident. This is the largest known verdict for a single car accident. A 48-year-old chiropractor was forced to stop abruptly to avoid a collision and as a result herniated his back. The insurance company refused to negotiate with our client in any reasonable manner and we were able to obtain justice for our client.
In another case, we set a new legal precedent. Our client was forced to slam on his brakes to avoid a reckless driver, and suffered injuries as a result. Our success in getting our client compensation for his injuries established that there need not be physical contact between cars in order for an injured person to recover.
