Practice Areas Description

Yanchuck Berman Wadley & Zervos PA provides legal help in the following areas of practice:

- Automobile Accidents

Typically, you do not even think about the value of an hour, let alone a minute or a second. But if you want to know the value of a second, ask an accident victim. A single moment in time or a simple mistake can change a life forever, and navigating the aftermath can quickly become a daunting task. If you are seriously injured because of the negligence of another driver, you deserve to be compensated for the pain, suffering, and losses you incur. Personal injuries can affect major components of your life—your job, your family, and your long-term health. Accidents happen, but that does not excuse another person's responsibility.

- Truck Accidents

We share the road with drivers who hold significant responsibility for the vehicles they drive and what they carry. Flatbed trucks, semi tractor-trailers, delivery vans, and utility vehicles are included in this group of vehicles. When loads shift, objects and debris can impact other vehicles, causing accidents and injury. And when larger motor vehicles collide with passenger vehicles, catastrophic damage, severe injury, and loss of life are all too often the tragic realities.

- Motorcycle Accidents

A licensed rider operating a motorcycle within the boundaries of the law has the same right to the roadways as drivers in cars, trucks, and vans. Unfortunately, other motorists do not always respect this fact. When a lack of awareness or lack of concern imperils a reasonable means of transportation, horrific accidents can occur. Unfortunately, motorists may become accustomed to how reckless they can be when moving among other vehicles of similar size. However, motorists are also responsible for paying attention and monitoring the smaller profiles of motorcycles and making the appropriate adjustments.

- Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists who use the roadways are entitled to equal consideration, regardless of whether official bike lanes exist. Motorists who fail to allow bicyclists a reasonable amount of space, turn in front of them at intersections, or otherwise exhibit reckless disregard can create dangerous situations with potentially catastrophic results.

- Personal Injury

Personal injury laws are affected by a variety of complex federal and state laws. These laws are designed to protect an individual from the negligence or deliberate harm of others and to provide recourse in the event of injury. We can help you determine your legal rights, give you examples of personal injury settlements, and estimate your chances of receiving compensation for your losses. We aggressively pursue a personal injury lawsuit if the insurance company fails to offer a fair settlement. Personal injury victims may be able to collect for: Present and future medical expenses; Loss of quality of life; Pain and suffering; Lost wages; Loss of future income; Punitive damages.

- Premises Liability

Property owners in Florida have an obligation to make sure that their property is safe and properly maintained. Owners are also obligated to adequately warn individuals entering the property of any unsafe conditions. Some common circumstances that precipitate injuries include: Trips, slips, and falls; Acts of nature; Poor lighting; Poor facility management; Faulty equipment; Negligent security. The legal professionals at Yanchuck Berman Wadley & Zervos PA assess the unique circumstances of your case to determine: If there was negligence on the part of the property owner; If the negligence was a factor in the injury; The total amount of available insurance coverage (from all those who may be liable).

- Criminal Defense

When law enforcement officers arrest an individual without probable cause, that individual may be able to clear the incident from their record and receive compensation for their grief and embarrassment. Those sworn to uphold the law have a responsibility to follow well-defined procedures before taking an individual into custody, but isolated instances may occasionally find officers making judgments that turn out to be less than prudent. With more than six decades of combined trial work, we have defended clients in over 250 criminal trials. We know the legal system and we use our knowledge to prepare an aggressive strategy for your defense.
