Suffered an Injury Due to Someone Else’s Negligence?
For a personal injury case to be successful, the victim must be able to demonstrate negligence. There are four main elements of negligence.
- First, if you were injured by someone else, you’ll need to demonstrate that they owed you a duty of care to prevent you from being harmed.
- Second, you must show how the at-fault party failed to uphold that duty due to some form of negligence.
- Third, you must show a direct tie between the at-fault party’s negligence and your injuries. For example, if you were injured in a car accident with a drunk driver, evidence such as BAC tests and witness testimony could be used to show that the driver’s negligent behavior directly led to you being harmed.
- The fourth element of negligence is compensable losses. You have to show that you incurred financial or non-financial losses due to the accident. This could include medical costs and emotional trauma.
It’s hard to prove every element of negligence and establish fault. That’s why you need to get Ross. He’s a Florida personal injury attorney with the resources to gather evidence, consult experts, determine liability, and build a strong case against the responsible party.
Ross Jurewitz has the know-how and experience to fight for injured Floridians and help them obtain the money they are owed. If you were harmed due to another person’s negligent actions, you need Ross Jurewitz on your team right now.
Were You in an Accident and the Insurance Company Won’t Pay Up?

What Are the Steps in a Personal Injury Case in St. Petersburg?
Although every personal injury case is unique, most claims tend to follow a few basic steps. If you choose to work with Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers, here’s a ballpark view of how you can expect your case to play out:
- Free consultation – During your initial consultation with Ross Jurewitz, you’ll receive advice on your legal options and determine whether our firm is the right fit for your case.
- Investigating – If you hire Jurewitz Law Group Injury & Accident Lawyers, Ross Jurewitz will launch a comprehensive investigation into the incident that led to your injuries.

- Documenting losses – Ross and his team will gather documentation to prove the injuries and losses you sustained in the accident.
- Negotiating with the insurance company – Ross will represent you in settlement negotiations with the insurance company. If he successfully negotiates a full and fair settlement, your claim will be resolved.
- Filing a lawsuit – If settlement negotiations are unproductive, Ross will not hesitate to file a lawsuit on your behalf.
- Discovery – During the discovery phase, both sides will share evidence and conduct depositions. The defendant may decide to settle the case during discovery based on the evidence we’ve collected. Discovery tends to be the lengthiest portion of the legal process.
- Mediation – During mediation, a neutral mediator will attempt to help both sides come to a compromise. If we still can’t get a fair settlement offer, your case will proceed to trial.

Who Can I File a Claim Against for My Injury?
Depending on the accident you were involved in and who was responsible, you might be able to file a claim against:
- The insurance companies of negligent parties like other drivers, trucking companies, and private homeowners
- Commercial property owners like those of malls, restaurants, hotels, or resorts
- Manufacturers of defective products
- Cities, municipalities, and government agencies
Sometimes, multiple parties could be responsible for an accident. For instance, truck accidents tend to be especially complex because, in addition to the driver and the trucking company, other potentially liable parties may include cargo loaders, part manufacturers, and third-party maintenance companies.
Figuring out who was at fault can be difficult without legal help. No matter what type of accident led to your injuries, Ross Jurewitz has the skills to identify all potential sources of compensation.
How Long Does a Florida Accident or Injury Lawsuit Take?
All personal injury lawsuits move at different speeds. In some cases, lawsuits may take several months. Other lawsuits may take a year or longer to reach the trial stage. The length of your lawsuit will depend on the complexity of your case and other factors. If your case ends up being tried in civil court, you can generally expect the trial to last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for an Injury Claim in St. Petersburg?
In Florida, the statute of limitations dictates a four-year period in which injured parties can initiate legal action against an at-fault party. If you miss the statutory deadline, your case will likely be dismissed, and you will lose your opportunity to pursue compensation in court.
The further into that four-year period you get, the more you lose bargaining power since you aren’t able to threaten the at-fault party with a lawsuit.
What Should I Look for in an Attorney to Represent Me?
When searching for a personal injury attorney to handle your case, you should look for a lawyer who:
- Has experience with personal injury law, preferably with cases that are similar to yours
