Do I Have Grounds for a Personal Injury Claim?
During your first meeting with one of our Port Salerno personal injury attorneys, we will ask about the circumstances of the incident that led to your injuries. Be prepared to discuss everything you can remember in detail. This will allow us to determine whether you have grounds for a claim and, if so, how best to proceed.
Typically, every successful personal injury claim has three elements. The first is a duty of care. The defendant must have owed the plaintiff some kind of duty of care. This legal obligation might be assumed, as it is between motorists in traffic, or it might be established, as it is between patients and healthcare providers.
Once you can show how the liable party owed you a duty of care, you must demonstrate how he or she breached it. This is the second element of a successful personal injury claim.
Finally, you must prove that you incurred damages as a direct result of the breach. In other words, you would not have sustained the injuries had the defendant abided by the duty of care owed to you.
Gathering evidence of all the above might sound like a lot of work, but if you turn to the Port Salerno personal injury lawyers at Donaldson & Weston, you won’t have to worry about obtaining any of it. We can handle all the logistics of your case from day one so you can focus on your health.

We Will Make Sure the Insurance Company Treats You Fairly
In personal injury claims, the defendant and his or her insurance provider have incentive to find reasons to dispute both liability and damages. This is especially true if the plaintiff’s damages are significant.
Unfortunately, that means insurance providers are not above using devious and manipulative tactics to deny or at least undervalue every claim. For example, they know how to get injured parties to make compromising statements that jeopardize their case.
Since we will handle all correspondence on your behalf, though, you won’t have to worry about the insurance adjuster trying to take advantage of the situation. We know the strategies they use to devalue perfectly valid claims, and we we’ll help you stay one step ahead.
Fortunately, many insurance providers throughout the state of Florida are familiar with our law firm and know that we fight relentlessly on behalf of our clients. Since we have established a reputation for being seasoned litigators, the insurance adjusters assigned to our clients’ cases are often more inclined to offer a fair settlement. They know we are not afraid to take a claim all the way to court, and we have the resources and experience to find success in even the most complex cases.
At the end of the day, you shouldn’t have to worry about trying to navigate the complicated claims process alone, nor should you have to deal with manipulative insurance adjusters while recovering from serious injuries. Our attorneys and outstanding support staff are ready to step in and handle every stage of the proceedings on your behalf.
