What is Personal
Injury Law?

Personal Injury Law covers incidents that cause harm to someone because of the another’s wrongful conduct. These injuries can occur due to a variety of reasons, such as when a distracted driver rear-ends you, a storeowner fails to clean up a spill causing you to fall, or a physician fails to properly diagnose a loved one’s serious medical condition leading to their death. Seeking compensation for a personal injury is not just about financial recovery; it’s about seeking justice and holding the responsible party accountable.

Car Accidents

Florida has a “no fault” law in effect. This law requires each person have car accident insurance (personal injury protection or PIP coverage) that pays for their injuries without considering who was at fault for the accident. The law restricts the rights of an injured person to sue the party who was at fault for causing the accident unless specific thresholds are met. Ultimately, to pursue a claim against the at fault driver you must suffer a permanent loss of an important bodily function, a permanent injury, significant scarring/disfigurement or death. The attorneys at Gaines Nolan Injury Law are experienced in all aspects of Florida’s no fault law, and can advise you on how to recover for your injuries after being injured by another’s negligence.

Slip, Trip and Fall Accidents

Governmental entities and businesses, such as restaurants, grocery stores, shopping malls, movie theaters, apartment and office buildings have a legal duty to keep their property safe from harm that is reasonably foreseeable. This means they have a responsibility to keep a look out for issues that could lead to harm and take action so the harm does not happen. If there is a leaking pipe resulting in a puddle of water on the floor, they must take action to clean the puddle up or at least warn visitors of the puddle. If you are injured because of a slip, trip or fall:
1) File an Incident Report.
2) Take pictures of the scene, specifically what caused the incident. and
3) Get medical attention. Contact the attorneys at Gaines Nolan Injury Law for a free legal consultation to learn more about your rights.

Dog Bites

Florida follows a strict liability standard when it comes to dog bite cases. This means that a dog owner may be held liable if his or her dog bites someone, even if the owner had not prior knowledge of warning that the dog might bite. If you or a loved one has been severely injured or died because of a dog bite contact the attorneys at Gaines Nolan Injury Law to discuss your rights.

Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a health care worker provides a level of care that falls below the community standard. It can take many forms such as failing or misdiagnosing a medical condition; medication errors, birth injuries and wrong-site surgical procedures. If you or a loved one was injured because a medical professional was negligent call and speak to the attorneys at Gaines Nolan Injury Law to discuss your rights.

Commercial Truck Accidents

Commercial truck accidents typically involve large trucks used to transport goods. Accidents involving commercial trucks, such as big-rigs or tractor-trailers can cause catastrophic injuries, long-term disability, and even death. In fact, Florida ranked in the top three states for the highest number of truck accident deaths in 2020. Commercial trucking companies are required to comply with a number of federal and state regulations, specifically to maintain documentation on drivers and truck maintenance. If you or a loved one was injured in a commercial truck accident contact the attorney at Gaines Nolan Injury Law, we will act quickly to preserve this important evidence.

Negligent Security

Under Florida law a property owner owes a duty of care towards its visitors, which includes providing adequate security measures. While violent crime can be unpredictable, sometimes it is preventable. This is especially true when there is a known risk of criminal activity due to prior attacks, yet the property owner failed to enact commonsense security measures, such as repairing broken locks, ensuring appropriate lighting is provided, or properly hiring and training security guards. If you suffered a preventable attack, the attorneys at Gaines Nolan Injury Law will work to get you the compensation you need and deserve.

I was fired after complaining about the lack of promotions. The attorneys at Gaines Nolan put my mind at ease with their excellent knowledge of the law, and strategy on pursuing a case.

I was hurt when a distracted driver ran a red light. Hiring Gaines Nolan was like hiring family. From the day I walked into their office, I always felt like they had my back and would not stop working to get me the best results possible. I was right, after my case was settled for the policy limits against the other driver, they went after my own insurance company for underinsured motorist benefits.
