Trusted Jupiter Personal Injury Representation Backed by Local Experience
If you’ve been hurt because of someone else’s carelessness, choosing the right lawyer can make all the difference. At Cowen Edwards, PLLC, we’re dedicated to helping Jupiter residents with personal injury cases. Our attorneys know how Jupiter’s mix of coastal neighborhoods, busy streets, and close communities can affect your case.
This local knowledge matters a lot when building a strong personal injury claim. Our familiarity with the congestion of U.S. 1, the risks of Indiantown Road, and more helps us more accurately reconstruct accidents and identify liability. We also understand the local business landscape and are well-versed in negotiating with regional insurance companies. This insider perspective strengthens our ability to build successful strategies for pursuing maximum compensation.
Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Jupiter and Palm Beach County
Our personal injury practice in Jupiter covers a wide range of accident and injury claims. We see crashes on Indiantown Road, U.S. 1, Alternate A1A, and I-95, along with injuries at Jupiter’s beaches, marinas, and busy shopping centers. We regularly represent clients who have been injured in car accidents, motorcycle crashes, and truck collisions. From being rear-ended at a traffic light to being struck by a negligent commercial driver, we have the experience to get you the compensation you deserve and hold the responsible parties accountable.
Many accidents happen not on the roadway, but on someone else’s property. Property owners are legally responsible for maintaining safe conditions. If you’ve slipped and fallen or otherwise injured yourself as a result of someone failing to meet this legal obligation, our law firm can help you with that case as well.
Unfortunately, many people are harmed by the very people tasked with providing them with care. Our firm also handles medical malpractice claims and cases where neglectful nursing home employees have caused injury or undue distress. In the most tragic circumstances, we help families seek justice and financial support in wrongful death cases. In these cases, you can expect the compassion you need during such a difficult time from everyone you interact with on our staff.
How Personal Injury Claims Work in Florida
For personal injury claims, Florida follows a negligence-based system. This means that you have to prove that another party’s carelessness caused your injuries. The state follows a modified comparative fault rule, so even if you share some responsibility for an accident, you can still recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault. The damages you recover, however, will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
A typical claim in Florida follows several key stages:
- An investigation of the incident
- Documentation of medical treatment and expenses
- Negotiation with insurance companies
- Litigation, if a fair settlement cannot be reached
If you’ve been in an accident, document the scene as thoroughly as possible and seek medical attention immediately. This will provide key evidence that will make the initial phases of the investigation much easier and increase your chances of success.
The timing of your case is critical, as Florida’s statute of limitations generally gives you two years from the date of the incident to file a personal injury claim, and two years to file a wrongful death claim.
