One of Senator Marco Rubio’s four children, 12-year-old Amanda Rubio, was recently injured in a traffic accident in Miami, according to news reports. At the time, Senator Rubio was campaigning with Governor Rubio in Kissimmee, but immediately left to join his family at Miami Children’s Hospital where the child was airlifted following the accident.
This unfortunateincident illustrates the fact that traffic accidents can happen at any time, in an instant, when people least expect them, and can affect families of all stations in life. As your Boca Raton personal injury lawyer can attest, even the children of government officials are not exempt fromaccidents.

Whether a personal injury claim is possible in an accident case often depends on whether a driver or another party was negligent in causing the accident. Negligence means that someone acted in a careless manner so as to cause the accident that led to the victim’s injuries. The victim also must have injuries that were proximately caused by the accident, or that would not have occurred but for the accident. ABoca Raton personal injury lawyer must prove these elements in order to bring a successful personal injury claim.

A variety of types of compensation are potentially available through a personal injury claim arising from an accident. An injured person may be able to recover compensation for medical expenses, hospital care, physical therapy, lost income, temporary or permanent disability, and/or loss of enjoyment of life. Every personal injury claim is different, and what may be compensable in one case may not be available in another case, based on the facts and circumstances of the case.

If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident, you owe it to yourself and your family to explore whether a personal injury claim is an option.
