Personal Injury
Whether it’s an unexpected car crash or slip at work, accidents happen and we never see them coming. Many accidents which could have been avoided by being more careful result in life-altering injury and loss which can go to a severe extent. The state of Florida has laws which will help those who were at the receiving end of loss. The negligence of others cannot be undone but it can be compensated and recovered through claims.
Personal injury lawsuits are the most common types of cases, but they still hold important value. When you are affected by someone else’s mistake, all the medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses are unjust to you.
Types of Personal Injury
The following are accidents that happen on a day-to-day basis and can turn into personal injury lawsuits.
Auto Accident
Whether you are going to or coming from work, you may face traffic jams due to car accidents. Car accidents are the leading cause of personal injury claims across the United States.

Auto incidents range from T-bone collisions and rear-end accidents to head-on collisions, drunk driving and pullover accidents. These incidents can cause medium to high-level injuries including bone fractures, burns, and spinal cord injury.

Birth Injuries
Imagine being in a position where a negligent obstetrician or medical professional gave you and/or your newborn an injury that will last a lifetime. Injuries such as cerebral palsy or brain damage.

Electric Scooter Accident
Because electric scooters and electric scooter rental services only began appearing in the past few years, there are very few laws and regulations surrounding how these scooter companies should operate and what road rules users must follow.
Overview
Electric scooters are a new form of ride-share transportation. Users access the scooters through an app on their phone, which is connected to the user’s banking information. The user can use the app to “unlock” or activate the scooter. Once the scooter is unlocked, the user has full operational access to the scooter and is able to drive it wherever they want and for as long as they would like.
HOW SAADE LAW CAN HELP
While electric scooters do offer a number of benefits – faster transportation, environmentally friendly, reduced road traffic, there are also a number of dangers posed to both users and pedestrians. The four general concerns are:
- Sidewalk Riding
- Speed
- Car Accidents
- Abandoned Scooters
If you are involved in an electric scooter incident, you may be eligible to participate in a brand specific scooter accident lawsuit.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is one of the most damaging injuries a person can sustain, and unfortunately, more common than most people realize. Although TBI causes and outcomes vary, many head injury survivors deal with severe injuries that change their lives and the lives of those around them forever.Survivors may struggle with physical, cognitive, emotional, communicative, and psychological impairments, and require years of costly rehabilitation and assistance.
Overview
An acquired TBI occurs with external, physical trauma such as forceful impact in motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults and other sudden events. It’s often called a “silent injury” because it can be hard to know if the brain, which is extremely fragile, has been injured. Depending on the circumstances surrounding the incident, injuries can range from mild to severe and profoundly affect one or more areas of the brain. Even mild cases can be life-threatening.
HOW SAADE LAW CAN HELP
A traumatic brain injury is a type of Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) that occurs after birth when physical trauma disrupts the normal function of the brain. When brain damage occurs before birth, it’s known as an In-Born Brain Injury. Fortunately, the law enables those who have suffered a TBI as a result of the negligence, wrongdoing, or inaction of another to seek compensation for their injuries and losses – whether it was acquired or in-born.
