Personal Injury

A serious injury can leave you with medical and financial uncertainties that put you on edge. Our job at Hughes Law Group is to help put you at ease and devise a tailored strategy to help you seek the compensation you deserve. While you recover, you can count on us to put our focus, dedication, and experience to work and fight for the money you need to afford medical treatment and recover at home.

We tackle a wide range of personal injury cases for our clients. A few of the ones we handle most include:

Wrongful death: Losing a loved one can be emotionally and financially devastating. We can help hold negligent parties accountable and pursue compensation for those who are grieving so they can continue to pay their bills while they emotionally recover from their loss.
Slip and fall: Slipping and falling in any store can leave you seriously hurt. We can determine who is responsible for your injury by bringing the case to court, analyzing the evidence and using our strong knowledge of the law to prove negligence.
Premises liability: If you’re injured on someone else’s property, we can help you navigate the complexities of filing an insurance claim and determining liability.
Car accidents: Car crashes can happen in a split second. When everything feels like it’s moving faster than you can keep up with, we can help you gather evidence, challenge the insurance company and fight for the compensation you deserve.
Bicycle Accident: Bicycle accident injuries are often catastrophic with lifelong consequences. We understand the complexities of such cases and work tirelessly to get you the compensation you need.
Catastrophic Injuries: We provide compassionate and skilled legal support to help victims of catastrophic injuries overcome physical and financial challenges. Our goal is to secure the maximum compensation for your recovery and future needs.
Medical Malpractice: We have extensive experience representing victims of medical malpractice, holding healthcare providers accountable for their negligence. We are committed to fighting for your rights and obtaining justice for the harm you’ve suffered.
Motorcycle Accident: We are well-versed in motorcycle accident claims and understand the unique risks motorcyclists face and strive to protect your interests.
Pedestrian Accident: We work diligently to secure compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering related to pedestrian accidents. Our team is committed to holding negligent parties accountable for their actions.
Trucking Accident: Trucking accident claims are typically complex cases. There are several different parties that can potentially be held accountable. Both state and federal regulations are involved as well as an insurance industry motivated to minimize claims. We aim to secure the compensation you need for recovery and future security.

Each of these cases presents unique challenges, but our firm is equipped to help you face them with confidence.

These are ones we hear often from our clients:

How long does it take to settle a personal injury case in Florida?

The duration of settling a personal injury case in Florida can vary widely based on several factors. Straightforward cases can typically settle within a few months. More complex cases involving significant injuries or disputed liability can take longer. The timeline can also depend on each party’s willingness to negotiate and reach an agreement, as well as court schedules if litigation becomes necessary.

What’s my personal injury case worth?

The value of your personal injury case in Florida can depend on the:

The severity of your injuries
Cost of medical treatment
Amount you lose in wages while you are recovering
Impact on your quality of life
Liability

How much can you get for pain and suffering?

Compensation for pain and suffering in personal injury cases is determined by the extent of physical and emotional distress experienced due to the injury. Florida does not have a fixed formula for calculating these damages. Instead, they are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as physical and emotional suffering, how long the pain lasts, and your injury’s impact on your life can all be accounted for.
