What Is Personal Injury Law?
- Personal injury law is a legal area that allows individuals who have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions to seek financial compensation. When a person, business, or organization acts carelessly and causes harm, they can be held legally responsible for the medical bills, lost wages, and other damages suffered by the injured party.
- Personal injury cases are based on negligence, which means that someone failed to exercise reasonable care, leading to an accident or injury. For example, a distracted driver who causes a car accident or a store owner who fails to clean up a spilled liquid that leads to a slip and fall could be held responsible for the resulting injuries.
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Bicycle and pedestrian accidents
- Slip/Trip and fall injuries
- Wrongful death
- Rideshare accidents (Uber & Lyft)
- Traumatic brain injuries
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Car Accidents
Car accidents are among the most common types of personal injury cases. These crashes often happen because of reckless driving, distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence. Even minor collisions can result in serious injuries, including:- Traumatic brain injuries (TBI) – Head injuries that can cause memory loss, dizziness, or long-term cognitive issues.
- Spinal cord injuries – Damage to the spine that may lead to paralysis or chronic pain.
- Broken bones and fractures – Severe breaks may require surgery or physical therapy.
- Soft tissue injuries – Muscle strains, ligament tears, or whiplash.
- Whiplash and neck injuries – Common in rear-end collisions, leading to stiffness and chronic pain.
Truck Accidents
Collisions involving semi-trucks, 18-wheelers, and commercial vehicles are more complex than standard car accidents. The size and weight of a commercial truck can cause devastating injuries, including:- Spinal cord damage
- Internal organ injuries
- Severe burns from fuel fires
- Permanent disabilities
- The truck driver – If they were fatigued, speeding, or distracted.
- The trucking company – If they failed to properly train or monitor the driver.
- The truck manufacturer – If a mechanical defect contributed to the crash.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcyclists are at greater risk of injury because they have little protection compared to drivers in enclosed vehicles. Many motorcycle accidents occur because drivers fail to:- Check their blind spots before changing lanes.
- Yield the right of way at intersections.
- Stop at red lights and stop signs.
- Emergency medical care
- Long-term rehabilitation and therapy
- Lost wages due to time off work
- Emotional and physical pain and suffering
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents
Bicyclists and pedestrians are some of the most vulnerable people on the road. When a car or truck collides with someone walking or riding a bike, the injuries can be catastrophic. Common causes of bicycle and pedestrian accidents include:- Drivers failing to yield at crosswalks.
- Running red lights or stop signs.
- Texting while driving and failing to see a pedestrian or cyclist.
- Speeding in residential areas or near schools.
Slip and Fall Accidents (Premises Liability)
Property owners have a legal responsibility to keep their premises safe. When businesses or homeowners fail to fix dangerous conditions, visitors can suffer serious injuries. Common hazards that cause slip and fall accidents include:- Wet floors without warning signs.
- Uneven sidewalks or broken pavement.
- Poor lighting in stairwells or parking lots.
- Loose handrails on stairs.
- Broken hips, arms, or legs (especially in older adults).
- Concussions and traumatic brain injuries.
- Back and spinal injuries causing long-term pain.
Wrongful Death
The loss of a loved one due to negligence is devastating. While no amount of money can replace a life, a wrongful death claim can help surviving family members recover:- Funeral and burial costs.
- Lost financial support.
- Compensation for emotional suffering.
- Fatal car, truck, or motorcycle accidents.
- Pedestrian or bicycle collisions.
- Negligent property conditions leading to fatal falls.
Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when a violent blow or jolt to the head disrupts normal brain function. TBIs often result from:- Car and motorcycle crashes.
- Falls on dangerous property.
- Blunt force trauma in pedestrian accidents.
- Memory loss and confusion.
- Difficulty speaking or understanding words.
- Chronic headaches and dizziness.
- Behavioral and personality changes.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft Accidents)
Rideshare services like Uber and Lyft have changed the way people travel, but accidents involving rideshare drivers can be legally complex. These cases may involve multiple insurance policies, including:- The rideshare company’s insurance.
- The driver’s personal insurance.
- Another at-fault driver’s insurance.
What Damages Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Case?

- Lost wages (current and future earnings)
- Pain and suffering (emotional distress, diminished quality of life)

Casas Law’s team knows that what you need now is answers. Start here:
-
Q
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
AIn Florida, There are statutes of limitations that limit the time in which someone may bring an action. If an action is not commenced within that time period the injured party will lose their right to pursue their claim in court. There are various factors that can affect this time period. We therefore recommend that you seek the advice of an attorney as soon after your injury as possible. That attorney can advise you what statute of limitation may apply to your claim. Because every case is unique, it’s essential to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to help make sure your claim is filed within the statute of limitations. -
Q
What should I do after an accident?
ATaking the right steps after an accident can protect your legal rights and improve your chances of receiving compensation:- Seek medical attention – Even if you feel fine, injuries can appear later.

Q
What if the insurance company offers me a settlement?

- Represent you in court if the insurer refuses to settle fairly.
