Maritime and Personal Injury Law

Miami/Fort Lauderdale Car Accident Attorney

At The Law Offices of Gillis, Mermell and Pacheco, P.A., we have over 30 years of combined experience helping injured persons collect compensation. If you have been injured owing to the fault of another party, you deserve medical and financial support, and we will help you fight for your rights and negotiate a favorable lump-sum cash settlement.

Our experienced attorneys can represent you with any personal injury matter, including the following:

  • Maritime Jones Act Case: If you were a injured while working as a crew member of a barge, tug boat, ship or just about anything that floats on the navagable waters of the United States of America, we can handle your case. We will fight to make sure you receive your maintenance and cure benefits. If your injuries are permanent, we can purse a settlement for you for lost wages, compensatory damages, future medical care and pain and suffering.
  • Car Accident: If you were involved in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, the other driver may be responsible for your injuries. Our lawyers can help you get the medical attention and financial payments you are due. We can also negotiate a settlement for your compensatory damages, lost wages, future medical care and your pain and suffering
  • Slip and Fall Injuries: There are a number of environmental factors that can contribute to your injury. If another party is responsible for those injuries, our attorneys can help. This can include any type of injury, such as a construction accident, slip and fall at a grocery store or common business entity, or slip and fall at any place that is under the custody and/or control of another party.
  • Medical Malpractice: An injury caused by doctor or hospital negligence can be especially frustrating. If a medical practitioner is responsible for your injury, including misdiagnosis, improper treatment, birth injuries, or surgical errors, our attorneys can help you collect compensation.

Third-Party Workers’ Compensation Claims

A workplace injury could be the result of the negligence of a third party. For example, if while driving a truck for your employer, you are involved in an accident owing to the negligence of another driver, we can represent you in a workers’ compensation claim against your employer and at the same time sue the driver of the other vehicle for your personal injuries that are due to his or her negligence. If you have been injured, our firm can help determine who should be held accountable for that injury. We have experience with third-party claims. We will fight for you and help you collect compensation for your injuries and help negotiate a favorable lump-sum cash settlement.
