Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents regularly cause severe injuries because they lack the frame protection automobiles offer. Florida’s bicycle accident fatality rate is the highest in the nation, and over 7,000 people are injured statewide each year. Motorists cause bicycle accidents by failing to check blind spots, failing to yield, opening car doors in traffic, reading text messages while driving, and driving while intoxicated. Pedestrians also sometimes trigger bicycle accidents.
Boating Accidents
Palm Beach County offers five interconnected freshwater lake systems that are a boater’s paradise (not to mention a sixth nearby “lake,” known as the Atlantic Ocean). Unfortunately, boating accidents are a real risk for Greenacres residents who enjoy this activity. Boating accidents can be caused by speeding, racing, Boating Under the Influence (a crime in Florida), inadequate maintenance, wakes from other boats, horseplay, and dock injuries. Cruise ships carry different dangers, such as slip and fall accidents, pool accidents, and food poisoning. Any of these types of accidents could support a personal injury lawsuit if negligence were involved.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are probably the most common type of personal injury lawsuit – annual traffic accident injury victims (well over 200,000) could fill ten full-sized sports arenas. Although court dockets are reduced by Florida’s restrictive “no-fault” auto insurance system, some injuries are severe enough to allow victims to opt out of the no-fault system and file a personal injury lawsuit. The complexity of some car accidents (which sometimes require testimony from an accident reconstruction specialist) renders an experienced personal injury lawyer more of a necessity than a luxury.
Motorcycle Accidents
A motorcycle’s power, lack of frame protection, and low visibility frequently create a “perfect storm” that ends in the hospital or the morgue. The most common motorcycle accident scenario involves an oblivious motorist colliding with a motorcycle operating in the blind spot or forcing the motorcyclist to veer off the road to avoid an even more severe accident. Fortunately for injured motorcyclists, there is no “blind spot defense” under personal injury law – motorists are expected to know where their blind spot is and take it into account while driving.
Pedestrian Accidents
Florida’s pedestrian accident rate is No. 3 among the 50 states, with a total of over 9,000 such accidents recorded in 2015 alone. Indeed, several pedestrian accidents occur every single day in Palm Beach County. Excluding accidents caused by the pedestrian, the most common causes of pedestrian accidents are failure to yield the right-of-way, texting and other cell use, DUI, and backing into a pedestrian. Significant damages awards are typical for seriously injured pedestrians who choose the right personal injury lawyers.

Premises Liability
In Florida, property owners and tenants are legally responsible for remedying or warning visitors of certain dangerous conditions. To a lesser extent, this protection even extends to trespassers. It applies to a greater extent to customers, social guests, and public servants such as mail carriers. Premises liability law allows victims to file lawsuits against responsible owners and tenants. In some cases, tenants may sue landlords for injuries caused by another tenant (such as a dog bite).
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents are probably the most common type of personal injury case, except for car accidents. These accidents can cause permanent debilitation, especially among elderly victims. Common causes of slip-and-fall accidents include icy steps, missing handrails, malfunctioning escalators, slick or bumpy floors, and snowy asphalt, among many possible conditions. Liability can be challenging to establish in a slip-and-fall case, so expert legal assistance is often necessary.
Truck Accidents
An 18-wheeler truck can inflict tremendous damage when the driver loses control of their rig, and similar harm can be imposed by smaller vehicles such as cement trucks. Automobiles can crumple like accordions when a crash occurs, and motorcycle riders can become projectiles. Well over 2,000 commercial vehicle crashes occur in Palm Beach County each year, many of which are trucks. The most common causes of truck accidents are texting while driving, two-way radio use, intoxicated driving, falling asleep at the wheel, and tailgating. You can sometimes sue a trucking company that employs a negligent driver.
Wrongful Death
In Florida, a wrongful death lawsuit is filed by the personal representative of a victim who died in an accident. This type of lawsuit seeks damages for funeral and burial expenses, unpaid medical bills, loss of financial support, loss of future earning capacity, loss of companionship and guidance, and grief (if the victim was a child). Damage awards are typically sizeable and split between survivors and the estate.

TESTIMONIALS from our Happy Clients
What an amazing experience I had with Brian and his team. I was referred by a friend after a bad accident. Patricia & Lily have gone above & beyond to be attentive, quick to respond, and very kind. I feel they really cared about my well being, and about my outcome. Brian was a pleasure to work with. You can tell he cares about his company, and it shows in the way he does business and his staff. Thank you again! I will definitely be sending people your way.
I chose Brian Guralnick for my personal injury case because of my experience with Brian on a previous business relationship that I had with him many years ago. At that time I could tell that this man was detail oriented and passionate and caring.
This was my very first experience with a personal injury lawsuit and Brian and his team very professionally advised me and compassionately guided me at every turn. My case was settled much faster than I had expected and for a settlement amount that was higher than I expected. When Brian says that he will “Demand More”, he is absolutely telling the truth.
Brian and his team absolutely know what they are doing.
Brian Guralnick and his staff are the best there is out there! Each staff member was always professional, personable and a pleasure to work with. They all went above and beyond my expectations, and did an excellent job for me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is in need of this kind of service.
