| Welcome to the Thomas
V. Mike Miller, Jr., P.A. Personal Injury webpage. Members of the firm have helped many personal injury
clients receive substantial settlements and awards.
Our lawyers are dedicated to defending the rights of
clients who have suffered because of the negligent
actions of others. If you have been injured in an accident or
lost someone due to another party's negligence, you
may be eligible for compensation for medical bills,
earnings, rehabilitation and emotional or physical
pain. It is important to hold those responsible for
the damage to your life accountable for their actions.
Armed with the experience and skill to address the
complexities of the justice system, Thomas V. Mike
Miller, Jr., P.A. will vigorously fight for your
rights to ensure that you receive the fairest
compensation available.
According to The
National Center for Injury Protection and Control, an
estimated 31 million people are injured in accidents
every year, with as many as 90,000 fatalities
resulting from these injuries. Many personal injury
victims suffer permanent and life-changing physical
pain and mental trauma from accidents including:
- Vehicle accidents
(automobiles, tractor-trailers, motorcycles,
recreational vehicles, and public transportation
such as planes, buses, boats and trains),
- Improperly
maintained or unsafe property accidents such as
"slip and fall" injury; violent crime
resulting from inadequate security; dog bites from
unrestrained animals (premises liability claims),
- Dangerous or
defective products including medical devices,
drugs, dietary supplements and other products
(manufacturers and others in the supply chain may
be liable),
- Medical
malpractice injuries caused by a health care
provider's negligence,
- Work related
accidents (including Workers' Compensation
claims),
Under the law, those
injured in accidents caused by the negligence or
recklessness of others are entitled to file a civil
action suit - called a "tort" - against
those who caused them harm. The person making the
claim is called the plaintiff and the party who caused
the injury is called the defendant. If the defendant
is proven negligent, they must pay the plaintiff
monetary "damages" including consideration
for present and future loss of earnings capacity,
medical expenses, pain and suffering and other
monetary compensation.
If someone has caused
the death of a loved one through carelessness or
irresponsibility, survivors may file a "wrongful
death claim" to receive monetary compensation. In
personal injury claims, it is up to the plaintiff to
prove that their injury was caused by the negligent or
careless actions of the defendant. Personal injury law
is complex and negligence can be difficult to prove.
It is, therefore, critical that a strong case and
compelling evidence be presented. Only an experienced
personal injury attorney can effectively establish and
present the facts of your case to prove the critical
elements of negligence - 1) the defendant had a duty
to you, 2) the defendant failed in that duty, and 3)
you were injured because of the defendant's breach of
duty and damages resulted from the injury.
If you have been
injured by another's negligence or recklessness, you
should take immediate action to ensure that "the
stage is set" to protect your right to
compensation. Our experienced attorneys will represent
your interests against the team of adjustors,
investigators and attorneys that represent the
insurance company. We can also help you to determine
whether to fight or to settle a case in order to
achieve the maximum award.
Personal injury
claims are subject to the time constraints of a
statute of limitations, so it is important to take
action now. Contact the legal professionals at Thomas
