Biography
Boca Raton personal injury lawyer Gregg M. Hollander, lead attorney of the Hollander Law Firm, passionately advocates on behalf of accident victims throughout South Florida, and nationwide. For over twenty years, Mr. Hollander has committed his legal practice to assert the rights of individuals injured by the negligence of others. A Florida native, Mr. Hollander and the professionals at the Hollander Law Firm Accident Injury Lawyers work together to secure justice and compensation on behalf of injured individuals in Palm Beach County and Broward County, as well as elsewhere in South Florida near you.
Mr. Hollander understands the physical and emotional impact following an injury accident, as well as the substantial medical costs that arise from these tragedies. By pursuing a personal injury claim, victims and their families can help ease the resulting financial burden with a South Florida personal injury lawyer. Damages that may be recovered in personal injury lawsuits include medical and hospital bills, costs of future treatment, property damage, and lost wages from work, among other examples.
In addition to these economic damages, a victim may be able to recover non-economic damages. These often include pain and suffering, mental anguish, and loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life. Well experienced as a South Florida and Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyer, Gregg Hollander guides Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, and nearby residents through the process of pursuing these damages.
Potential damages in a personal injury lawsuit, such as a car accident, are often established through filing a negligence claim. Negligence is the failure to act as a reasonable person. There are four elements to a negligence claim, including duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Typically the injured individual shows that the defendant did not use the degree of care appropriate in a specific situation, and this directly caused the accident and resulting injuries. Standards of conduct vary, depending on the situation.
For example, drivers are required to obey traffic rules and avoid causing a foreseeable risk of harm to others. In a premises liability lawsuit, property owners are expected to maintain their premises in a reasonable safe condition, making sure that customers or those invited to the premises do not suffer injuries.
