Caring Jacksonville Personal Injury Lawyers
Some personal injury victims are harmed by their lawyer as well as by the person who caused their injury. Don’t get hurt twice by choosing the wrong attorney to represent you in your personal injury case.
At the Law Office of Craig Gibbs in Jacksonville, Florida, we provide personal service by caring attorneys, rather than service by case managers and assistants. Firm founder Craig Gibbs has more than 20 years of experience in helping personal injury victims. Before he became an attorney, Mr. Gibbs was an insurance adjuster for one of the largest insurance companies in the nation.
Understanding how insurance claims departments work provides our lawyers with a tremendous advantage in representing your interests in an auto accident, truck accident, medical malpractice or other types of personal injury case.
Dog Bite Injuries
Some states allow a dog "one free bite" before the owner can be held responsible if his or her dog attacks someone. However, Florida has strict liability in dog bite cases. This means that if a dog bites you, the owner is responsible − period. As your attorneys, we will work to maximize your recovery. Sadly, many of the victims of dog bites are children, who may have lasting physical and emotional scars from the attack.
Jacksonville's leash law requires all dogs to be on a leash when not on personal property. If you see dogs running around, you can call animal control.
Slip and Fall Accident
If you are a shopper in a store, you are considered an invited guest. As a result, the owner has a duty to warn you of defects such as a puddle of water on the floor, uneven steps, or a cracked floor or sidewalk.
Except for infants and people who are infirm, shoppers do have to watch where they are walking so they don't step into a hazard that is open and obvious. However, people in stores are not expected to look down for hazards that are not marked by warning signs.
