When negligence causes injury, you deserve full compensation. From car crashes to catastrophic injuries, we fight to recover every dollar owed to you — and you pay nothing unless we win.
Personal injury law — also called tort law — provides a legal framework for individuals who have been physically or emotionally harmed due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. The fundamental principle is straightforward: if someone causes you harm through their carelessness, they are legally obligated to compensate you for your losses.
In Florida, personal injury claims are governed by a modified comparative negligence standard. This means you can recover damages even if you were partially at fault for the accident, as long as your share of fault does not exceed 50%. Your recovery is reduced proportionally by your percentage of fault — so if you are found 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you would recover $80,000.
Florida's statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident under Fla. Stat. 95.11(3). Wrongful death claims must also be filed within two years under Fla. Stat. 768.12. Missing these deadlines means losing your right to pursue compensation entirely, which is why consulting with an attorney promptly after an accident is critical.
At Vindex Privatus, we handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing upfront, nothing out of pocket, and no fees whatsoever unless we recover compensation for you. The at-fault party and their insurance company bear the cost.
We represent injured individuals across a wide range of accident types throughout South Florida and the state of Florida.
Rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, highway accidents, and distracted driving cases. We handle property damage claims, bodily injury claims, and uninsured/underinsured motorist claims to maximize your recovery against all available sources of coverage.
Motorcyclists suffer disproportionately severe injuries in collisions. We combat the bias that riders are inherently reckless and fight to recover full compensation for road rash, broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, and spinal cord damage caused by negligent drivers.
Rideshare accident claims involve complex insurance layers — the driver's personal policy, the rideshare company's contingent coverage, and their $1 million liability policy during active rides. We navigate these overlapping coverages to ensure no available dollar is left on the table.
Pedestrians have zero protection in a collision with a motor vehicle. When negligent drivers strike pedestrians in crosswalks, parking lots, or roadways, the injuries are often catastrophic — traumatic brain injuries, spinal fractures, and amputations. We pursue maximum compensation.
Commercial truck accidents involve federal motor carrier regulations, hours-of-service violations, overloaded cargo, and corporate defendants with aggressive legal teams. The stakes are higher and the injuries more severe. We match their resources with relentless advocacy for our clients.
When negligence takes a life, Florida's Wrongful Death Act (Fla. Stat. 768.16-768.26) allows surviving family members to recover damages for loss of support, services, companionship, and mental anguish. We handle these cases with the gravity and sensitivity they demand.
Traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, severe burns, and permanent disfigurement require lifelong medical care and fundamentally alter a victim's quality of life. We work with medical experts and life care planners to ensure your settlement accounts for every future need.
Florida law entitles personal injury victims to recover both economic and non-economic damages. In cases of gross negligence, punitive damages may also be available.
We review the details of your accident, assess the strength of your claim, identify all liable parties, and explain your legal options — at no cost and with no obligation.
We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, and expert opinions to build a comprehensive case establishing liability and damages.
We present a fully documented demand to the insurance company. If they offer a fair settlement, we resolve efficiently. If they lowball or deny, we file suit and prepare for trial.
Whether through settlement or verdict, we fight until you receive fair compensation. We handle all liens, medical bill negotiations, and disbursement so you keep the maximum amount.
