West Palm Beach, Florida Personal Injury Lawyers

What is a personal injury case?

Personal Injury claims may arise when a person has suffered some form of injury – either physical or psychological – as the result of another's negligence or intentional conduct. Some common types of personal injury claims are: automobile accidents; work-related accidents; accidents due to unsafe premises (slip and fall or inadequate security); and accidents caused by dangerous or defective products, which result in catastrophic injury or wrongful death.

In a West Palm Beach personal injury claim, Florida law allows the injured person to recover medical and related expenses, lost wages and emotional damages such as: permanent disability or disfigurement; inconvenience; loss of family support and services; and the capacity to enjoy life. Before you are entitled to reimbursement for such losses, your personal injury lawyer will have to prove that the defendant is liable. In other words, your attorney will have to prove that the defendant is legally responsible for your injuries and damages. (Note that in some cases, there may be more than one responsible party.)

If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury and believe that you have a case, there are several important considerations when hiring a personal injury attorney:  

• In many firms, paralegals are the primary point of contact for a client, not an attorney. In some instances, an attorney never touches certain cases. At Romano Law Group in West Palm Beach , our focus is on providing individual attention to our clients. We understand that your case is important, and we take our responsibility to you very seriously. 

• Many personal injury attorneys rarely try cases and simply do not have the necessary courtroom experience to take your case to trial. While not all cases should or do go to trial, having a firm with Florida Bar Board–certified trial lawyers with significant courtroom and trial experience gives you and your case a significant advantage.

At Romano Law Group, not only have our attorneys tried hundreds of cases to verdict, Attorney John Romano is a past president of the Florida Justice Association – a 3,800-member organization dedicated to strengthening and upholding Florida's civil justice system and protecting citizens' rights.

• In many personal injury cases, the defendant is a large corporation or big insurance company and has a powerful legal team to defend itself. You need a law firm with the skill, experience and extensive resources to effectively fight for the best result possible against defendants like these.

• At Romano Law Group, our personal injury and general trial attorneys are among the most experienced in the country. Combine this with our determination, financial resources, and in-house accident investigation team led by investigator Robert Hewitt, and we have what it takes to win even the toughest cases. 

We also handle cases involving personal injury claims against the United States Government. These claims are pursued under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). Most cases in which an agent or employee of the U.S. Government causes injury to another through his or her actions or negligence can be brought under the FTCA. Many attorneys are unfamiliar with the technical requirements of FTCA cases, and others do not handle FTCA cases due to the restrictions on attorney fees. Romano Law Group is experienced in these types of claims and has the capability and know-how to represent those injured by government bodies or government employees. 

Romano Law Group serves victims suffering from auto accidents, catastrophic injury, wrongful death or other personal injury claims, as well as other legal matters requiring significant courtroom experience. Although we primarily serve West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Boca Raton and South Florida, we handle cases throughout Florida. With an extraordinary nationwide network of attorneys, we also handle cases around the country. The trial attorneys at Romano Law Group are here to protect your safety and your rights. You are welcome to contact us any time with questions about your legal rights or a potential case.
