Personal injury

Overview

​​Losing someone or suffering personal harm is never easy, especially when caused by someone else’s actions or decisions. ​​Our team works to hold negligent parties accountable, and we fight tirelessly for the compensation and justice that our clients deserve across a range of issues including but not limited to:

personal-injury-1
personal-injury-2

Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

In everything from car accidents, to workplace incidents, to medical malpractice, we handle every aspect of your case, from gathering evidence and building your claim, to negotiating with insurance companies and going to trial if necessary.

Aviation Accidents

We represent victims who have sustained injuries or lost loved ones due to commercial aircraft and private aircraft accidents, both domestically and internationally. We also represent passengers who have suffered from accidents or incidents during flights or during the entire process of taking an airline flight, from boarding, to in-flight incidents to landing and disembarking.

Car and Vehicle Accidents

Colson Hicks Eidson fights for victims who have been seriously injured or lost loved ones in car, truck, and motorcycle accidents caused by the negligence of others. Our experienced personal injury attorneys pursue maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, permanent disabilities, and wrongful death claims. Motor vehicle accidents can have devastating physical, emotional, and financial consequences. Whether your crash involved a distracted driver, drunk driver, speeding, reckless driving, commercial truck, or uninsured motorist, our team has the experience and resources to hold negligent parties accountable.

Private Aircraft and Helicopter Accidents

These have higher rates than airplane accidents and include helicopter emergency medical services and sightseeing tour crashes. We represent those affected by accidents that occur on the ground or in the air.

Premises Liability

Our premises liability lawyers represent individuals who have been catastrophically injured due to the failure of a property owner to properly maintain their premises, creating a dangerous condition that causes injury. Examples of premises liability accidents include trip and falls, slip and falls, electrocution, accidental drownings, being hit by a falling object, being crushed or otherwise injured. These accidents occur at shopping centers, restaurants, hotels, in parking lots, retail stores, office buildings, apartment complexes, on escalators and elevators, and other businesses or public spaces.

Negligent Security

Our firm represents individuals and families who have suffered catastrophic injuries or the wrongful death of a loved one due to the failure of a property owner to provide adequate security. These include incidents at fast food restaurants, shopping centers, parking lots, apartment complexes, schools, gas stations, and other commercial properties.

Toxic Substance Torts

In exposure in the workplace, environment, or from consumer products that can cause long-term health effects and even death, we take the time to understand the science behind the exposure, as well as the unique circumstances of each case.

New U.S. Attorney’s Office and DOJ Whistleblower Non-Prosecution and Awards Pilot Programs

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida has launched a new Whistleblower Non-Prosecution Pilot Program. It reinforces the recent efforts of the Department of Justice Criminal Division’s new Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program.

The local pilot program offers non-prosecution agreements in exchange for the early and voluntary self-disclosures of criminal conduct.  The Department’s pilot program offers financial rewards to a whistleblower who provides original and truthful information about corporate misconduct that results in a successful forfeiture.  

Both pilot programs require the prompt disclosure of truthful and complete information.   

At Colson Hicks Eidson, our attorneys have advised and represented clients across the full range of internal investigations, government inquiries, enforcement actions, whistleblower actions, and civil and criminal trials.  For further information, contact us at 305-476-7400 or info@colson.com.
