Personal Injury Attorney
At Kinney, Fernandez & Boire, we understand how to deal with all of
the complicated decisions that will arise in any Personal Injury
case.
In a broad sense, Personal Injury Cases can involve automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bite incidents, wrongful death, injuries from defective products, nursing home injuries and work related injuries. A person can become the victim of negligence and suffer personal injury in ways too many to list.
When dealing with a personal injury case, a person should
understand that there are a number of issues which have to be
addressed. From questions surrounding who should pay the bills, to
what benefits are available, to what is the Statute of Limitations
controlling a legal action, the aspects of any personal injury case
can be complicated and confusing.
Legally, the issues can be very complicated. At Kinney, Fernandez
& Boire, we are experienced in dealing with issues such as Florida's
No Fault insurance law, the Wrongful Death Statute, 768.21, the laws
of comparative negligence, permissive use, and collateral source
set-offs (payments made toward damages that reduce a persons
out-of-pocket expenses). There are issues relating to what is
called the accident report privilege and the admissibility of past
criminal convictions, confidential medical records, and past
psychological treatment records. Also, when dealing with physical
and mental injuries following a traumatic event, it is important to
understand the need for proper documentation of injuries, including
answering questions such as whether an injury is considered a
permanent injury and whether there is a permanent impairment under
the American Medical Association's guidelines. Also, will future
medical care be needed, how much will that cost, and whether an
injury will result in restrictions on a person's activities. There
are many other issues that arise in these cases and it takes an
experienced team of professionals to deal with them. Our firm is
committed to maximizing a client's benefits, making the best use of
the rules, procedures and laws governing the prosecution of personal
injury claims, and positioning a client's case in the best way
possible to ensure a successful outcome.
Lost wages and lost earning capacity are often associated with
personal injury cases. In order to recover these damages, it is
important to properly document and obtain proof of the losses.
Insurance companies will not normally accept claims of lost wages
and/or lost earning capacity unless they are shown clear proof that
these damages are legitimate, accurate and are clearly related to an
injury claim. At Kinney, Fernandez & Boire, we know how to properly
and professionally present claims for lost wages and lost earning
capacity so that our clients are paid for any missed time from work
or for losing opportunities to earn an income in the future. In
automobile accidents, a person's personal injury protection
insurance can be used to pay 60% of lost wages. Our office knows
how to document and present any remaining lost wages to the
insurance company for the person responsible for causing the
accident.
Often times personal injury cases, whether dealing with an
automobile accident case, a defective product, a premises liability
claim such as a slip and fall or negligent security case, nursing
home abuse or a pedestrian accident, experts are needed in order to
properly present a strong case on behalf of the client. At Kinney,
Fernandez & Boire, we are experienced in dealing with orthopedic
specialists, neurologists, chiropractors, internal medicine doctors,
radiologists, pain management specialists and physical therapists.
It is not uncommon for our attorneys to meet with a client's
physician in order to discuss the progress of treatment and make
sure that our client is receiving the best treatment available and
any concerns are being properly addressed and documented. We also
hire expert engineers, accident reconstructionist , biomechanical
experts and others that have advanced skills and knowledge that may
help in presenting a strong personal injury claim on behalf of our
client.
Private investigators are sometimes essential to presenting a
successful personal injury case. Our office works closely with
several top notch private investigation firms that have strong
experience in state and federal law enforcement so that we can
properly investigate all aspects of a client's case. Witness
interviews, criminal background investigations, accident scene
documentation, asset investigations and others activities by our
private investigators allow us to represent our clients from a
position of strength and confidence.
Overall, at Kinney, Fernandez & Boire, we have the experience to
assist you. Our attorneys have over 100 years of combined
experience. Our attorneys include two (2) former insurance defense
attorneys and a Certified Circuit Court Mediator. Our staff
includes a former insurance adjuster, paralegals, and legal
assistants. All of our legal assistants are highly experienced in
the area of personal injury cases.
