The Law Offices of Chalik & Chalik believes in justice, and the right to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Personal injury victims often suffer physical pain and mental trauma that may be permanent and life-changing. Physical personal injury can include disfigurement, loss of limb, permanent or disfiguring scars, disability, and loss of one of the five senses.  Mental harm might include emotional trauma, mental anguish, embarrassment, loss of love and affection, or loss of enjoyment.

A personal injury victim (plaintiff) in the state of Florida can file one of several types of wrongful injury suits (torts) against the accused (defendant) including:

• Negligent tort – an individual or company’s act or failure to act caused injury.  Even if the
  act was unintentional, the defendant is still liable for damages.
• Intentional tort – a person maliciously or intentionally inflicted harm or caused death. 
  This type of claim is litigated under criminal law.
• Strict liability tort – a manufacturer whose product failed to meet certain safety standards. 
  Suing based on this tort requires a plaintiff show, among other things, that the product was “unreasonably dangerous."

More than 31 million people are injured in accidents every yea in the U.S., and as many as 90,000 die as a result of these injuries. After accidents are investigated to prove the wrongful conduct and damages such as medical bills, lost wages and disability, each Florida personal injury or wrongful death claim is presented to the person at fault or company or insurer representing them. If negligent parties refuse to accept fair responsibility, lawsuits are initiated and litigated as needed to trial, verdict or settlement to get justice.

No matter how challenging or complicated your personal injury case may be, our tough, experienced lawyers will do whatever it takes to achieve the best results.
