The Pendas Law Firm

Criminal Defense
Personal injury law is a relatively broad area of the law that allows an injury victim to file a claim in order to seek compensation for his or her losses. Personal injury claims are civil lawsuits. This means that the plaintiff is not attempting to hold the other party responsible under Florida criminal law after that person causes a serious or fatal accident, but rather is seeking financial compensation from the responsible party.
DUI/DWI
Who is held responsible when you or one of your loved ones becomes seriously injured? If it was caused by a drunk driver, the answer is obvious. However, is it really your grandmother’s fault that she lost her balance in the supermarket and fell, breaking her hip? Possibly not, if the conditions were unsafe. And, to answer the first question, even cases of drunk driving are not always black and white when it comes to ascribing liability. Yes, the drunk driver will certainly be punished legally, but they may not be the only party held liable in a civil lawsuit. Florida’s pure comparative liability (also called shared liability) states that more than one party can be at fault in many types of accidents. If one driver sped through a red light and the drunk driver T-boned that vehicle, sending both parties to the emergency room, both the drunk driver and the other driver may be deemed negligent, and whichever party is decidedly less liable may be awarded compensation for their injuries, minus the percentage of fault for which they are responsible. For example, if the driver that went through the red light is found to be 40 percent at fault and the drunk driver is held 60 percent at fault, the former would only be able to collect 60 percent of what they would be able to if it was solely the fault of the drunk driver. As you can see, not every injury case is as simple as it may seem at first glance. The negligent party’s insurance company, and the person who hurt you themselves, will be fighting tooth and nail to deny you compensation, blame you for the accident, or haggle over unsatisfactory and downright insulting settlement offers.
Wrongful Death
If you have suffered the loss of a loved one because of the negligence of another, you may be entitled to damages. Damages for wrongful death in the state of Florida can be a delicate proposition. In Florida the legislature has very specific rules regarding who is eligible for compensation in the event of a wrongful death. Those people are referred to as survivors. Spouses, children, and parents are all survivors under the law. Also included are any dependants, such as adoptive children or blood relatives. Our Florida wrongful death lawyers can provide the information and assistance you need, please don’t hesitate to contact us today, we have offices in Orlando, Fort Myers, Tampa, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale & Miami.
Traffic Violations
To understand what negligence means, you must also have a firm grasp on the term “duty of care.” Duty of care applies to all members of society and requires us to act in a reasonably safe manner that does not put others at unnecessary risk. When a person has been charged with negligence, they have broken their duty to act with care. Negligence is the failure to act with reasonable care towards others, which is to say, the care that a reasonably prudent person would use in a similar situation. The harm that a negligent person causes another is accidental, as opposed to intentional. An intentional crime is different from negligence. However, reckless driving is an example of both negligence and a crime.
Fraud
Pharmaceutical/Health Care Fraud — Healthcare and pharmaceutical fraud is extensive. Companies can commit fraud by marketing drugs not approved by the FDA, by providing gifts to medical providers who use or prescribe their products, and more. These cases tend to be settled for large amounts of money, which means the whistleblower responsible for reporting the case to the government will also receive a large award.
Theft
Assault
Human error is relevant in all types of unintentional injuries, not just in car crashes, when one party acted in a way that was lacking in a reasonable amount of care for the other party. Sometimes, as in assault and battery lawsuits, fault is embodied in bad acts and/or intent of an aggressor. However, in the personal injury context, fault is not always so easily identified. Contact our Orlanso personal injury lawyers for more information and assistance.
Hit and Run
FORT MYERS, FL – The Lee County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a hit-and-run crash that happened near the Lexington Country Club in Cypress Cove Thursday. The collision took place after 5 p.m. on the 16335 block of Summerlin Road, the active traffic report page showed. Lee County deputies have not yet revealed the information… Read More »

Workers Compensation
Our Workers Compensation team had a very successful trial win and gained justice for our client who was injured at work. Our client suffered a terrible head injury when he fell off a scaffolding at a construction site. After the accident, his employer fired him and refused to pay for any of his medical treatment, over $300,000 in hospital bills. Further, they tried to pay him off with a shamefully low amount in an attempt to make him go away. When a victim such as this one is undocumented, corporations and insurance companies use this fact to just “throw him away.”

Premises Liability
Millions of Americans enter stores, restaurants, amusement parks, hospitals and other establishments every day. On any given day, someone entering such an establishment gets hurt by slipping on a wet or dirty floor, tripping over objects in places where they shouldn’t be, by poorly maintained equipment or by having improperly stacked merchandise fall on them. Slip and fall, or struck-by accidents are not the only type of premises liability. Property owners owe all invitees a duty of care that extends beyond a simple cleaning and maintenance of the floors. Whenever you enter a premises, it should be kept in a reasonably safe condition. That includes the security of the premises against theft and assaults, the sturdy construction and sound condition of the premises, and the maintenance of fire alarms and sprinklers. Any place that is open to the public has a responsibility to maintain that establishment in a safe and clean condition. When an establishment fails to do so, they can be held responsible for injuries that occur as a result of their negligence. The injuries that victims of unsafe premises face can be substantial, as can be the compensation for those injuries.
Property Damage
Condo owners often face unique problems after a hurricane. This is because there is not one, but two insurance policies at play when a condo is damaged in a hurricane. The first policy is purchased by the condo owner and covers the inside of the home as well as its contents. The second policy is provided by the condo association, which is required by law to purchase property damage insurance. Also known as casualty insurance, these policies cover damage to the common elements of a home, such as the roof, drywall, and structural elements of the residence caused by storms, floods, and fires. However, certain specific items within an owner’s unit are not covered by an association’s policy, including carpeting, built-in cabinets and countertops, electrical fixtures, appliances, furniture, clothing, and jewelry.

Personal Injury
While our everyday lives tend to be safe, traumatic and preventable accidents do happen. In fact, unintentional injury deaths are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., resulting in over 136,000 fatalities annually, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. When you suffer from an injury caused by the negligence of another, you deserve to be financially compensated.

Medical Malpractice
When you place your life and health, or that of your loved ones, into the hands of doctors and nurses, you have a right to be treated with competence, respect and professionalism. We all know that things don’t always turn out the way we wanted them to, and we all have to face the end sometime. Whether it’s in a hospital or a nursing home, we all have a right to expect the best from those we entrust with our care. But when a doctor or nurse fails in their duty, and you or someone you love suffers for it, it feels like you have been betrayed. Many times, only the courts can begin to address the injustice of medical malpractice. Our Florida medical malpractice lawyers have offices in Orlando, Fort Myers, Tampa, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale & Miami, contact us today.
Auto Accidents
Social Security Disability
Disability income benefits — Social Security Disability benefits are for those with a permanent disability that is expected to last more than a year and renders a person unable to perform the work they once did, or find new work;
Dog Bites
Victims of dog bites and animal attacks in the state of Florida are not without remedies. Relying on legal doctrines of negligence and intentional tort, Florida law provides a means for dog bite and attack victims to recover compensation for medical bills, future medical treatment, lost income, pain and suffering, and, in some cases, emotional trauma. To obtain compensation, bite victims will benefit greatly from retaining the services of an experienced and dedicated Florida dog bite lawyer. We have offices in Orlando, Fort Myers, Tampa, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale & Miami.
Slip and Fall Injury
It is important to remember that a business is not responsible for injuries just because they happen on their property. We have to prove that the business did something wrong or failed to do something they were supposed to do (like cleaning the floor regularly). And, in terms of slip and fall accidents, the premises owner must have actual or constructive knowledge about the dangerous conditions. According to Florida statutes 769.0755 in order for the owner to be held liable for a slip and fall injury, the hazardous condition must have existed for a length of time that a party with an ordinary amount of care would have known about the condition, or the condition must have been a regular occurrence and therefore foreseeable. Contact one of or Florida law offices for immediate assistance if you were injured on another’s premises.
