Personal injuries occur daily due to the negligence or wrongful actions of others. However, everyone in society has a duty of care to each other. For example, a healthcare provider is responsible for providing the expected medical standard of care to their patients. A driver has a duty of care to other drivers and pedestrians by following traffic laws and safety regulations. Every time someone breaches their duty of care and harms another, they can be held liable for their actions.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
At Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers, we treat all types of personal injury cases with the same compassion, dedication, and commitment to bring positive change to the lives of victims of personal injury.
Throughout our years of practice, we have come to understand the various physical, emotional, and financial hardships that personal injury victims can experience. Because of this, we are committed to fighting against injustice and seeking fair compensation for the injured. Here are some of the various cases we handle:
Car Accidents
Whether you were involved in a car accident, truck accident, motorcycle accident, bus accident, or any other type of vehicle accident, you deserve compensation for your injuries and other losses.
Our compassionate team of personal injury lawyers in Miami Lakes will diligently analyze the circumstances of your case and help you seek compensation for your lost wages, medical expenses, property damage, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Premises Liability & Slip and Fall Injuries
There are many situations in which Miami Lakes residents suffer injuries due to slip and fall accidents. In many cases, those events could have been avoided if the property owner or occupier kept their premises safe.
If you have been injured on someone else’s property, you can pursue a premises liability claim against the property owner. Our slip-and-fall accident lawyers can help you determine who the liable parties are and hold them responsible.
Product Liability
It isn’t unheard of to come across products on the market that are either defective or have improper safety instructions. In some instances, false advertising can also cause harm to consumers. However, our product liability lawyers can help you seek compensation from the manufacturer, distributor, or retailer of the defective product that caused you harm.
Wrongful Death Claims
There are many situations in which personal injuries lead to death, such as car accidents, workplace accidents, or other incidents. In these situations, the family of the deceased can pursue justice in the name of their beloved through a wrongful death claim.
However, they must do so within two years from the date of death. Otherwise, the statute of limitations expires, and a claim cannot be processed unless special circumstances apply. Our wrongful death lawyers at Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers can help you understand which family member has the strongest right to pursue a claim, gather evidence, and build a strong case against the at-fault parties.
Workplace Accidents
Workers’ compensation helps injured workers access financial aid to cover their medical expenses and other associated expenses. However, sometimes, workers may encounter challenges while pursuing a workers’ compensation claim, or they may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim as well.
Regardless of what situation you may find yourself in, our workers’ compensation lawyers can help you understand all your legal options and guide you toward fair compensation for the losses incurred.
Medical Malpractice Claims
Many medical malpractice incidents often go unreported. This is because some patients are unaware of the harm that has been done to them, or they are afraid of taking legal action. However, medical malpractice is another type of personal injury.
If you believe your healthcare provider harmed you, you shouldn’t stand idle. Contact Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers for a free consultation on your case to determine if you have been the victim of malpractice and to pursue compensation from the at-fault healthcare provider.
Personal Injury Laws in Florida
Personal injury cases are complex and may have various legal challenges. However, if you have been a victim of any kind of personal injury, you should take action as soon as possible. Florida has a two-year statute of limitations on personal injuries. You may be barred from taking legal action if you miss this legal deadline. There are some exceptions to this rule, but acting sooner rather than later is beneficial.
Personal injury victims must also be aware that Florida follows a pure comparative negligence system. In this system, after an investigative process, the parties involved in the accident that led to the personal injury are assigned a percentage of fault based on the available evidence. Their percentage of fault will then be deducted from the final compensation amount.
However, if you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you may not be able to recover compensation for your damages. Because of this, proper legal representation is essential to both prove negligence and defend against accusations that could increase your percentage of fault.
At Amanda Demanda Injury Lawyers, you can always rely on our personal injury law firm. Miami Lakes residents who wish to pursue a personal injury claim can contact our law firm for a free case evaluation to understand their legal options.
Our dedicated personal injury attorneys are here for you and will guide you throughout the process. Since our attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, you won’t have to pay us unless we win your case.
