Auto Accidents

Jontiff & Jontiff handles all kinds of automobile accident cases, including those involving very serious injuries or death. You may be entitled to recover after an auto accident if you were injured as a result of someone else's negligence. We offer a free consultation to help you determine if your claim is worth pursuing.

Motor vehicle collisions often cause extraordinary suffering and loss to motorists, passengers and pedestrians, in addition to property damage to your car. Injured victims face medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life. At Jontiff & Jontiff, we understand the stress, both financial and emotional, such injuries cause. We work hard to help our clients recover their physical, emotional and financial losses.

Nursing Home Neglect

Your loved one may have sustained an injury for no apparent reason, developed bedsores that continue to worsen, or has started to show signs of malnutrition or dehydration. Nursing home neglect includes decubitus ulcers (bedsores); falls, abrasions, lacerations, bone fractures, burns, and disfigurement; malnutrition and dehydration; and physical or sexual abuse by staff or other patients.

Slip & Fall

Slip and Fall accidents are a major cause of serious injury in Florida. Florida law requires property owners to maintain their premises in a condition reasonably safe for customers and visitors. If a person is injured as a result of a premises defect, the property owner can be held responsible for money damages. Slip and Fall accidents are caused by water, food substances or other debris. Falls are also caused by potholes, cracks, uneven elevations and other premises defects.

Wrongful Death

Although money can never make up for the loss of a parent, spouse, sibling or child, you have guaranteed legal rights if the death of a loved one was caused by someone's wrongful conduct, whether through medical negligence, car accident, construction injury or a defective product. Wrongful death may result in financial difficulties resulting from lost income and medical expenses. The law also allows you to recover for other intangible losses, including loss of companionship, love and affection. Recovery for these damages may include both past and future losses.

A suit must be filed prior to the expiration of the Statute of Limitations or you will never be able to file the suit again. Jontiff & Jontiff has the experience necessary to determine the value of your claim and maximize results for your loss. Call us now for a free consultation.

Workers' Compensation

Any injury which occurs during the course of your employment is a workers' compensation claim. If your injury is covered by workers' compensation insurance, negligence is not an issue. Workers' compensation pays your medical care and lost wages regardless of fault. Usually, the injured worker may not sue his employer directly for any negligent acts on their part.

There are strict time requirements for filing a claim. If you have a workers' compensation injury, and you are not satisfied with your medical treatment, or believe your wages are not being paid correctly, call and talk with one of our attorneys. The consultation is free, and workers' compensation cases, like personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis; you don't owe a legal fee unless we make a recovery in your case. In addition, legal fees in workers' compensation cases are often paid by the workers' compensation carrier.

Motorcycle Accidents

There is no such thing as a "minor motorcycle accident." The moment you hear the crunch of metal and the shatter of glass, your life has become more difficult and complicated. You have pain, worry, medical bills, lost wages during recovery, car repairs, and other expenses. The last thing you need to deal with is the uncaring, profit motivated insurance company. You do not want to have to fight through the insurance company's complicated claims procedures that were created in an attempt to discourage you from getting the money you are entitled to receive. If your Florida motorcycle accident occurred while you were riding a motorcycle, you have similar rights as a person riding in a car, but the insurance company and at-fault person often tramples on these rights. If your car accident in Florida involved huge transport trucks that dominate the roads, you have another unique and complex problem.

Personal Injury

Jontiff & Jontiff handles all types of catastrophic personal injury and wrongful death cases caused by automobile and trucking accidents, slip and falls, job-related accidents, construction accidents, bicycle accidents, watercraft accidents, dog attacks, nursing home negligence, and premises liability.

Personal injuries not only cause physical pain, but often result in emotional and financial hardship through loss of work, medical bills and stress placed upon families and loved ones. Many of us take our physical and mental well being for granted -- until something goes wrong. When an accident happens lives are forever changed. Simple pleasures become chores. Daily routines are disrupted. Economic losses are often devastating. Whether caused by an automobile accident, medical malpractice, or other negligent, careless or reckless conduct, injuries alter lives forever. We take responsibility for effective, aggressive investigation and representation, allowing the injured person to attend to health, family and economic issues, while pursuing a variety of legal means to obtain the highest possible financial recovery.

Products Liability

Jontiff & Jontiff have successfully represented injured parties against the manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of defective products of many kinds, from household appliances to commercial equipment. Our firm has the resources and experience to pursue claims against well-known product manufacturers in meritorious cases involving significant injury or death.
