Personal Injury

The Law Office of Alan Anchell is dedicated to representing you or a loved one who has been injured due to someone else’s negligence. The purpose of Florida’s personal injury law is to bring compensation to those who fell victim to another person or a company fault. Wrong is wrong.

• Slip and Fall: During our ??? years of experience we have successfully represented thousands of clients who have been hurt on a worksite, department store, grocery store, convenience store, restaurant, a sidewalk that was not maintained properly, inadequate lighting, lack of cameras or security, steps or stairs that are not evenly maintained or the handrails were at fault which resulted in a fall, or an unmarked obstacle such as a step, curb, or extension cord.
• Car Accident: A driver’s license is a privilege that is obtained because we agree to be responsible. Americans who sign their name to drive an automobile agree to a legally binding contract that will hold them responsible if negligent with their actions or choices. Medical care is required within 14 days after an incident. The negligent drivers and their insurance must be held accountable for all damages. The uninsured motorist policy benefits you if the negligent party does not carry an adequate policy amount to cover all medical expenses, lost time from work, property damage, the financial compensation that you are entitled to under the law. The Law Office of Alan Anchell is experienced in handling Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claims to hold your insurance accountable for every penny you deserve regarding your treatment after an accident.
• Truck Accidents: 18 wheelers or Commercial truck accidents are very diverse compared to an automobile accident. The injuries are typically more severe, require longer treatment, and may result in wrongful death. There is normally not just one insurance company that will be held liable. There are numerous companies that bear some form of responsibility; this involves the transportation company, truck driver, and the trucking company and more.

• Uber or Lyft Accidents Ridesharing companies (Like Uber or Lift) are a safe and convenient way for people to get around. As a result, more car accidents can occur due to the lack of professionally trained drivers on the road. This is not a case you should handle on your own because the driver has insurance, however, they will attempt to deny and our law firm will hold Uber, Lyft, as well as the driver accountable for your injuries. “Ridesharing” is a new industry in South Florida, which means it is unregulated. Coverage of at least $1 Million for death, bodily injury, and property damage is allotted while the driver is providing a ride.
• Distracted Drivers: In the state of Florida it is illegal to text and drive and this also includes setting a GPS, changing stations on the radio, or simply being on the phone and not paying attention to the current road situation. There are serious consequences of being distracted while operating an automobile and causing injuries to an innocent victim.
• Pedestrian & Crosswalk Accidents: Florida has the highest pedestrian hit rates in America. Quite frequently someone goes for a walk and gets hit by a car by no fault of their own. Pedestrians suffer more than most due to the night visibility of the driver, walking on the sidewalk, and crosswalks. The driver will be held accountable for medical expenses, funeral expenses if the pedestrian passes away, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and permanent disability.
• Bicycle Accidents: Despite efforts from local bicycling advocates and not that it matters the cities attempt to provide “bike lanes” tragedies do occur to those who just want to ride their bikes. This type of accident is very serious due to unforeseeable elements that will jeopardize the bike rider’s safety. Drivers often pull out in front of cyclists before giving them a chance to stop. Another scenario is automobiles change lanes without paying attention to bikers near their lane.
• Motorcycle Accidents: It is very important for a motorcyclist to know the rules of the road and take all provide precautions to ensure their safety, however, they are no match for the magnitude of a motorized vehicle. After the accident, there are many costs that the Law Office of Alan Anchell and his staff will handle for you like medical procedures and bills, missed work, and vehicle repairs.
• Medical Malpractice: Mr. Anchell and his paralegals are especially devoted to representing victims of medical professionals’ malpractice. When a nursing home, doctor, nurse, therapist, and large insurance companies fall short at you or your loved one’s expense we are there to pick up the pieces during your time of need. We will file a suit if needed to obtain the compensation and justice that is due. We have been taught to trust individuals who have strived to obtain their license to practice.
• Boating Accidents: Many people come to south Florida to retire, relax, and unwind on the intercoastal, Gulf of Mexico, and Atlantic waters. Boats are a dream of many, and we learn the rules and regulations to provide the utmost safety of our loved ones. There are those who are negligent in their choices when it comes to unwinding. Careless or irresponsible operating of a watercraft is one of the main reasons boating accidents occur. This could be in the way that a boat is handled on the water, in terms of the speed of the craft and the handling. At the end of the day irresponsible behavior can take many forms, but all kinds of reckless behavior can lead to an accident. If another boat operator acted irresponsibly and caused the accident, then they are liable for these damages.
• Brain injuries (TBI): Not only does the brain hit one side of the skull but it rebounds and hits the other side of the skull as well. When a blow or a jolt to the head from blunt or penetrating trauma occurs, it can cause severe injuries that can impact a victim for the rest of their lives. After an accident the damage inside the skull can involve the entire brain, bruising, bleeding, and tearing of nerve fibers is common. At first, a victim will feel fine but then the brain starts to swell and that is where the complications come into play. The Law Firm of Alan Anchell and his staff can assist you with the medical specialist you might need to recover.
• Wrongful death: Even if it was an accident wrongful deaths are a major event in many people’s lives. It is either due to negligence or an intentional accident. This could be a result of a car accident, medical malpractice, slip, and fall, or a work injury. Unfortunately, during a family’s difficult situation, they also must dedicate a part of their time to the rights of the deceased. Please let the Office of Alan Archer take the legal burden off your shoulders so that you can focus on the five stages of grief as well as spending time with friends and family in order to heal. Our law office is equipped and ready to handle the defendant liable by showing that the defendant owed the victim a duty of care, that the defendant breached this duty, that the breach of duty was a direct and proximate cause of death.
