Representation for Personal Injury Victims in Jacksonville
Jacksonville Personal Injury Attorney
A personal injury accident can be a very traumatic experience and may cause physical, mental and emotional effects for a long time. Accidents that result in personal injuries can include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, watercraft accidents, nursing home abuse, dog bites, premises liability, workplace accidents, construction accidents, medical mistreatment, and defective products. Many injury victims require hospitalization and long-term rehabilitation before returning to a normal lifestyle.
A victim of a personal injury accident may be unable to work and experience financial hardship caused by an inability to earn a living. Depending on the circumstances of the accident, monetary compensation for injuries and suffering may be available. An injury or accident victim should contact a Jacksonville personal injury attorney for legal advice regarding the steps to take following an accident. The Law Office of Jason K. S. Porter, P.A. successfully represents many clients with personal injuries suffered in

Personal Injuries and Compensation
Accident victims can suffer from injuries such as soft tissue damage, broken or crushed bones, dislocations, internal organ damage, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, paralysis, amputation, or coma. Accidents with significant injuries can cause permanent disabilities or even fatalities. In accidents that are the result of reckless or negligent actions by another there may be a question regarding liability. The responsible party may be liable to the injured victim for damages in the form of:
- Medical costs
- Loss of earnings
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
In the case of a death, the victim's family members may pursue a wrongful death action with an additional claim of loss of companionship. Before settling with an insurance company, speak with one of our attorneys because an insurance settlement offer may not be enough to compensate for the injuries and loss suffered. An insurance settlement may require giving up the rights to pursue further monetary compensation. We protect the rights of our clients to receive appropriate compensation for their injuries.
