We see first hand and up close how injuries from an automobile accident case can negatively impact a person’s life. On average, each year more than six million motor vehicle accidents take place on this country’s highways and roads. Of those accidents, more than three million people are hurt with more than half suffering permanent and disabling injuries. In many cases, insurance companies hire claims adjusters and expert witnesses to call into question the scope and extent of a person’s injuries in order to reduce the amount paid in claims. Of course, having experienced Boca Raton personal injury lawyers on your side to fight the insurance company and their desire to pay as little as possible on a claim is extremely beneficial. In that light, it is very important to retain a lawyer immediately following an accident to protect your rights and your chances at recovery. Our Boca Raton personal injury lawyers use a team of professionals including attorneys, paralegals, staff members, experts in accident reconstruction, engineers and others to build each case to achieve the maximum monetary award.
Motor vehicle accidents are also one of the leading causes of death of teenagers in South Florida and across the United States. Many factors contribute to the death of minor drivers including:
- Distracted driving
- Speeding
- Lack of experience
- Failure to wear seat belts
- Drunk driving
- Drug use
- Aggressive driving
The Boca Raton personal injury lawyers at Citron & Bloom represent clients in wrongful death actions involving both adult and teenage drivers. In all cases involving claims for minors, whether a car accident case or other injury matter, we keep parents and/or guardians informed on case progression and make sure that they are intimately involved in day-to-day case activities. The lawyers at Citron & Bloom have children of their own and are cognizant of the demands and stress an injured child can have on the family unit as a whole.

Under Florida law, every homeowner and business owner has a duty and responsibility to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe manner for use by the public. When a property owner breaches that obligation and someone is injured, the owner can be held liable for any associated damages.
We also handle dog bite and animal attack cases. Every year, the number of dog bite related fatalities increases. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), approximately 4.7 million dog bites occur in the United States each year and most involve children. Of the almost five million bites, more than 800,000 people require medical care and attention – some even hospitalization – for dog bite injuries.
While the so-called aggressive breeds of dog – including Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Chows and Akitas – any breed of dog can attack and cause permanent and even life-threatening injuries. Dog bites can result in a victim suffering lacerations, puncture wounds and scarring. Many victims require treatment in a hospital with plastic surgery in order to avoid further complications from the injury including infection. Florida law holds dog owners absolutely responsible for the injuries and damages caused by their animal. As such, if you were attacked by a dog in a neighbor’s home, in a park, on the street or while enjoying a day at the beach, you may be entitled to recover damages – without a defense being able to be raised by the owner of the dog.
We handle all accident cases on a strict contingency fee basis which means that a client does not pay the firm a fee/costs unless we are successful in our achieving a judgment or settlement in the client’s favor.
