- PERSONAL INJURY -
Let’s face it, car accidents occur on a daily basis and most of us will likely be involved in a car accident in our lifetime. Unfortunately, car accidents can result in more than just property damage. The most common injuries can be anything from neck and back pain and broken bones to catastrophic injuries including spinal cord injuries (paraplegia and quadriplegia), brain damage, and even death.
If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident, it’s important that you seek medical treatment immediately. Your health is your and our number one concern. Oftentimes, injuries that result from a car accident do not manifest until days later. As such, seeking medical treatment immediately after an accident, even if you feel as though you are not injured, is a good idea.
some things you may want to
do after an accident:
- Use your cell phone to take pictures of the accident scene, vehicles involved in the accident, and any visible injuries that you have sustained. You may also want to keep a disposable camera in your vehicle in case of an accident.
- Take down as much information as you can about the vehicles and drivers involved in the accident, especially their contact, insurance and license plate information.
- Seek medical treatment and be honest with the doctors about how you feel and the symptoms that you have.
- Do not speak with anyone about the accident, except your doctors.

Under Florida law, the negligence of a medical care provider requires one to comply with a specific medical malpractice statute (Florida State Law). A medical malpractice action is not the same as bringing a claim for negligence and should not be handled without the support of an experienced attorney. If you have been injured as a result of a medical care provider’s negligence, it’s critical to consult with an attorney who has handled medical malpractice cases in the past.
Before filing a complaint, the lawyers at SLG will obtain your medical records and send them to one of their expert doctors who will review the records and determine if there was any negligence on the part of the doctor.
- Depending on the facts of your case, we may also bring claims against the nurses, assistants, and even the hospital or facility where the medical services were rendered. Medical malpractice claims are also costly.
