AUTO ACCIDENT
Automobile collisions are the leading cause of negligent injury in the United States. Injuries can range from mild to traumatic and fault is often difficult to assess. The effects of an auto accident can be life altering. Auto insurance companies often feign compassion to lull an injured person into a false sense of security. Rest assured, their goal is to undervalue your claim and obtain a signed release as soon as possible. Before signing anything or communicating with an insurance company, speak to a lawyer. Trust your case to a compassionate, caring, and experienced team of lawyers
TRUCKING ACCIDENTS
Trucks are the largest vehicles on the road. As a result, when they collide with an automobile they can cause the greatest damage and injury. Cases against trucking companies are complicated and they require an in-depth understanding of various laws, rules, and regulations. There are various tactics available to entice trucking companies to treat your case fairly. At Latour | Roberts, PA we have the experience and expertise to handle such cases and, if your case is not treated fairly, the desire to ardently fight on your behalf.
Pedestrian injury
Pedestrians struck by automobiles often suffer traumatic injuries. This should never happen. If you are injured as a pedestrian there are several aspects of your claim of which you should be mindful. First, if you own a vehicle, your personal automobile insurance may afford coverage and compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, mileage reimbursement, and for your injuries if the negligent party has no or insufficient insurance. Secondly, the automobile insurance for the driver and owner of the offending vehicle may compensate you for your injuries. Finally, it is important to seek treatment for your injuries and speak with a lawyer about your options as soon as possible. It is also very important to not speak with an insurance representative before speaking with an attorney. Contact Brent and T.C. today for a free, honest evaluation of your potential claims.
PREMISES LIABILITY (victims of violence)
In Florida, the owner of a business is required to keep their premises safe. If an establishment is known to have a history of violence, it is incumbent upon the property owner to secure the premises and protect its patrons. If you are a victim of violence due to the negligent security by a business establishment, you may have a right to recovery. These cases are complicated, but T.C. and Brent have a history of successful advocacy on behalf of such clients. We would be happy to lend our experience to your case. Contact Latour | Roberts, PA today for a free and honest evaluation of your claim.

PREMISES LIABILITY (SLIP/TRIP AND FALL)

Claims against the businesses are often hard fought, but right law firm can ensure the liable parties are held accountable. Contact Latour | Roberts, PA for a free and fair assessment of your potential case.
Sovereign immunity
The doctrine of Sovereign Immunity divests the government (the sovereign) of any liability for its negligence or the negligence of its employees. In Florida, the legislature has waived its sovereign immunity in cases of negligence up to $200,000.00 per person and $300,000.00 per incident. This waiver of sovereign immunity applies to auto accidents involving employees of the city, county, or state (public transit, police, etc.); premises liability in public buildings (slip and falls, falling objects, violence, etc.) and other injuries caused by the negligence of a governmental entity or their employees. Although these caps exist, there is a mechanism by which a injured party can be compensated above said limits called a Claim Bill. At Latour | Roberts, PA we are experienced in handling both cases within the sovereign limits and cases requiring a Claim Bill. Contact us today.
Animal attacks
T.C. and Brent are animal lovers. They both happily share their homes with their pets. However, if their animals were responsible for injury to another, they would expect that person be compensated for their injuries. Often times injuries caused by animals are due to their owner's negligence and thus, the owners should be held liable. Regardless, in most circumstances in the State of Florida, the owner of the animal is strictly liable to the victim regardless of fault. Whether you're a postman attacked by a dog, your neighbor's horse kicked you, or you suffer other injury caused by an animal owned by another, contact Latour | Roberts, PA for a free and honest evaluation of your claim.
BRAIN INJURY
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) can have severe lasting effects on one's life. It is important to be cognizant of the potential for a TBI and its symptoms, as such injuries often go undiagnosed. The victim of a permanent TBI has the right to recover for their medical expenses past and future, pain and suffering, inconvenience, and loss of enjoyment of life. At Latour | Roberts, PA, we are experienced in representing clients with TBIs. Retain an attorney who can properly evaluate and present your TBI claim.
Bicycle accidents
Cyclists in Florida are afforded the right to lawfully use our roadways when riding their bikes. Whether you ride a road bike, mountain bike, trick bike, or beach cruiser, you have a right to recover for injuries sustained as a result of the negligence of another. It is incumbent upon the driver of a motor vehicle to operate their vehicle in a reasonable manner, this includes being aware of cyclists on the road and respecting their right to be there. When motorists fail to act reasonably and they injure a cyclist, the injuries are often severe and the injured party has a right to recover for those injuries. Contact Latour | Roberts, PA for a free and honest evaluation of your potential claim.
burn injuries
Cases involving burn injuries can be difficult to prosecute. Defendants and insurance companies often try to blame victims for their own injuries. This should not be tolerated. Appliances, vehicles, and other consumer products should not spontaneously combust. If you are injured in a fire, contact Brent and T.C. for a free and honest evaluation of your claim.
Property damage
Injuries are often accompanied by damage to one's property. At Latour | Roberts, PA we know it can be difficult to find help with resolving a property damage claim. Other firms are loath to help with these claims because it can often be difficult to obtain an attorney fee in these matters. Brent and T.C. do not focus on their ability to earn a fee, rather they focus on their ability to help their clients. If you've suffered damage to property in conjunction with your bodily injury, contact Latour | Roberts, PA and we will gladly handle both claims.
