People are injured in different situations and circumstances. Most injuries are caused by traffic accidents, dog bites [that injure someone in the U.S. every 40 seconds, according to a report]and slip and falls due to hazardous living conditions or work environments involving poor lighting, floor changes, or other factors.

The people most vulnerable to injury, in general, are the elderly and children. In addition to the aforementioned reasons, they are sometimes physically and emotionally abused within their families, K-12 schools, nursing homes, and nursing homes. For example, a K-12 school teacher may inflict corporal punishment on one of the students, or an au pair in a home may inflict physical abuse on a baby.

Suppose that in a nursing home, the nursing staff mistreats an 80-year-old patient, or a doctor prescribes a medication without diagnosing the cause of the disease so that the problem worsens. These also insult the person in question in one way or another.

Injury lawyers handle such cases and help the affected person, making sure that the offending party is punished and that the injured person gets fair treatment, either rectification of the injury or monetary compensation, or both.

The Florida Bar Association, an official body of the Florida Supreme Court, is the professional and regulatory organization for all licensed attorneys in the Sunshine State. Its primary functions are to “Protect the Rights” of the consumer, “Pursuing Justice ” and “Promote Professionalism”, as stated on their official website, http://www.floridabar.org. It brings out many brochures for consumer use. They include ‘Legal Rights of Seniors,’ ‘Sexual Harassment in the Workplace,’ and ‘What to Do in the Event of a Car Accident.’ Some of the brochures are also available in Spanish, due to the large Spanish-speaking immigrant population in Florida.
