In the field of personal injury law, we seldom come across cases involving wrongful death (which is good thing) — and we almost never come across cases of wrongful birth. The former is, albeit rare, a part of life for personal injury lawyers. While most of our practice involves dealing with fallout from auto accidents, we do sometimes deal with wrongful death cases stemming from a number of issues. In this article, we will explore the notion of “wrongful death” and make you aware of a top story that has been making headlines as a “wrongful birth” settlement.
A wrongful death case …

Personal injury seems like a pretty simple, straightforward concept: somebody gets hurt, and the person who hurt them pays them back for their injuries. Well, it’s not quite that simple. Alright, fine—it’s not that simple at all! There are ins and outs of every case, the mishandling of which can render the possibility of compensation practically nil. Personal injury attorneys such as the ones here at Aronberg and Aronberg are highly trained at the art of handling P.I. cases, but we can only work with what we’re given. Look, we hope you’re never involved in any incident that would require …

We’d like to take this time to share with you some of the recent goings-on in the world of personal injury law. There are always new cases being tried, new verdicts being handed down, and new fines being imposed. It’s a good idea to be kept abreast of these developments in order to know what you can expect should you ever be involved in a similar case. People say, “the law never changes”—well, we have a couple of issues with that statement.
First of all, the law does change. Frequently. New legislators pass new laws. That’s why we vote for …

Despite certain state legislators’ efforts to place restricting limitations on the juries of the state in relation to this issue, multiple, beneficial settlements and verdicts in personal injury cases have been reached in Florida over the past year. These cases have helped set the precedent moving forward that serious personal injury cases need to be taken care of — if push comes to shove — in the courts. While tort reform continues to be a hotly discussed issue, both on the local and national scale, we’d like to take a look at some of the notable jury verdicts and settlements …

That’s a lot of M’s. It’s attention grabbing, though, and its purpose is to draw attention to something that needs some attention! Medical malpractice is real, folks. Most often, when people hear the term “medical malpractice,” they think of an instance of a medical practitioner making a mistake: botching a surgery or prescribing the wrong dosage of a medication or binding an arm cast too tightly or so on and so forth.
But sometimes medical malpractice is the doctor’s version of getting rich the Bernie Madoff way. That is, sometimes doctors intentionally cut corners and cut costs in an effort …

Do you have a medical malpractice case? Maybe. We want to provide you with some information relating to the issue of medical malpractice litigation so that you can have a well-informed approach to the question of whether or not you have a valid claim. There’s no simple chart of types of medical issues which can be labeled as “good” or “bad” in terms of eligibility for a medical malpractice claim. Every incident, just like every person, is unique and different from the one before it and the one that will follow it.
Let’s start by understanding what medical malpractice is: …

There’s no question that in recent years television-watchers have seen a spike in televised commercial advertisements for law firms touting their expertise in matters of personal injury law. As stated in previous blogs, that doesn’t necessarily mean the practice of personal injury law is bad. Plenty of advertisements are abundant and repetitive – but still useful and representative of a useful and worthy “product,” ours being a stock of relevant legal knowledge. Contrary to popular (and cynical) belief, the purpose of advertisements are not to trick you into engaging in some illegal business activity or bogus lawsuit.
Advertisements are used …

We’ve all heard plenty about personal injury lawyers – especially living in Florida, where personal injury law firm commercials seem to exceedingly outnumber all other types of televised advertisements. The constant barrage of simulated images and personal injury lawyer quips might get annoying, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t useful. On the contrary, they can be of great value to you. How many times have you see commercials for the Cancer Treatment Centers of America? Probably a lot. But that doesn’t mean that someone with cancer shouldn’t seek the Center’s help – their advertisements may be aggressive but so is …

Among the facets of American life that cynics take issue with is the practice suing of a physician. Some believe that the “sleaziness” often associated with those who practice the legal profession manifests itself in the trying of frivolous lawsuits against medical treatment providers. In fact, the word “frivolous” has become almost synonymous with any other adjective describing a personal injury lawyer’s day-to-day modus operandi. This is due to the fact that politicians supporting tort reform have created a media lynching of trial lawyers, blaming them for the rise of health care costs and the scarcity of good doctors who …
