Our Florida Injury Lawyer Practice Areas:

Please find below a few of the practice areas and services that we provide at Abrahamson & Uiterwyk.

Car Accidents

carWhile car crashes and motor vehicle accidents comprise a significant portion of personal injury claims, it would be wrong to think that they are always simple to resolve. The auto accident lawyers at Abrahamson & Uiterwyk understand not just the "rules of the road" and the special duties imposed on commercial and public carriers, but also the complex scientific and engineering principles needed to unravel just how a motor vehicle accident occurred on the roadways of Florida and who, if anyone, was at fault.

Truck Accidents

Large truck liability cases are more complex than simple automobile collision cases. There are highly technical state and federal regulations applicable to motor carriers and commercial vehicles which can form a legal basis for liability. The sheer size and physics of how these huge rigs operate make handling these cases unique. Deficiencies in equipment maintenance and inspection along with frequent breaches of duty in selection, retention and training of professional truck drivers, if proven, can greatly enhance the value of a claim. Proof of failure by trucking company or fleet management to implement and enforce a safety program can substantially increase the value of what might appear to be an ordinary case.

Motorcycle Accidents

Florida motorcycle accident statistics show that motorcycle accidents typically account for a disproportionately high number of catastrophic traffic accidents resulting in brain injury, broken bones, paralysis, and death. Tragically, the vast majority of Florida motorcycle accidents were unavoidable by the motorcyclist who was injured or killed but could have been easily avoided by the other vehicle driver who caused it.

Slip and Fall

The term "slip and fall" (also referred to as "premises liability") describes the type of injury that occurs on someone else’s property, usually as a result of a defective surface, a slippery substance, or other dangerous conditions. Slip and fall legal practice deals with the concept of premises liability. An owner of property ("premises") owes a duty to his guests ("invitees") to keep his property in a reasonably safe condition and to correct dangerous conditions. Click here to read more.

Medical Malpractice

medical malpractice photoMedical malpractice, simply put, occurs when your medical provider deviates from the normal standard of care. Medical providers are required to exercise reasonable care in accordance with the standards of care for the profession involved. If a doctor, surgeon, hospital, or other medical provider acts, or fails to act, in a manner that deviates from the accepted standard of care, then that provider may be liable for an injured person’s damages.

Dog Bites

Dog and animal attacks are unpredictable, and can often result in major injuries and sometimes even death. Even more alarming is the fact that children suffer a majority of the dog bites and dog attacks. Many states, including Florida, have specific laws regarding dog bites. Florida has a strict liability dog bite statute that states that the owner of a dog is liable for damages inflicted by his or her dog if it bites a person who is either in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness. The dog owner is liable regardless of whether the owner had reason to believe it would behave in a vicious manner. Click here to read more.

Nursing Home Abuse

Nursing home negligence and elderly abuse has many victims. Every day, elderly and mentally impaired residents suffer needlessly at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities that place profits before the needs of their patients. The relatives and friends of the victims suffer as well when their loved ones are injured and abused in poorly run nursing homes and other assisted living facilities across the country. The experienced nursing home abuse lawyers at Abrahamson & Uiterwyk are dedicated to providing victims and their families with the information and assistance they need to help protect against abuse, neglect, and mistreatment suffered at the hands of nursing homes and their personnel.

Brain Injuries

A so-called mild head injury can be a significant and serious traumatic brain injury, with a major impact on family, personal relationships and employment, even though the person was not "knocked out" at the scene, did not suffer a skull fracture or any cuts or broken bones, and even though they may have been talking and exchanging their driver's license information and insurance information at the scene of the accident. In crashes involving traumatic brain injury, it is quite typical that the injured person is at first unaware of the-significance of the event, and by the time that the consequences of the traumatic brain injury begin to interfere significantly with the person's life, neither they nor their family members relate the problems to the automobile accident, slip and fall, or whatever physical trauma occurred.

Product Liability

Every year, thousands of consumers sustain serious injuries from dangerous and defective products. Seemingly harmless, everyday products that have recently been linked to catastrophic injuries and deaths include home appliances, food, drugs, automobiles, medical devices, medical implants, and a variety of other products used by consumers every day.
