Wrongful Death
The profound sorrow accompanying the unforeseen loss of a loved one, particularly a spouse or child, is a challenging experience, compounded further when the passing results from another's negligence or misconduct. In instances where surviving family members depended on their deceased loved one for substantial financial or emotional sustenance, the option to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit might not be immediately apparent.

Or injured when a vehicle failed to yield to you? If you find yourself in this unfortunate situation, it is imperative to seek emergency medical care immediately.

Motorcycle Accidents
While South Florida offers an exhilarating backdrop for motorcycle enthusiasts, the joy can abruptly turn into distress when accidents occur. Motorcycle crashes, triggered by the negligence of other drivers, unfold in the blink of an eye, highlighting the vulnerability of riders on the road. Before engaging with your insurance company, it is imperative to seek guidance from an attorney. Despite donning the appropriate protective helmet and gear, a motorcyclist's exposed body faces formidable odds against larger, moving vehicles in the event of a collision.
Surviving such incidents often leaves a motorcyclist with enduring injuries to the head, brain, neck, back, and extremities - your arms and legs, elbows and knees. At McGovern Gerardi Law, our commitment is unwavering—to champion the cause of the injured and facilitate the recovery of the complete financial compensation deserving of motorcycle accident victims.

Bicycle Accidents
Riding your bicycle in sunny Florida should be a safe and pleasant form of transportation and exercise. Regrettably, our state leads in disheartening statistics when it comes to catastrophic accidents involving cyclists, often stemming from the negligence of motor vehicle drivers. Even when cyclists diligently adhere to all safety measures, utilizing designated bike lanes, the mere oversight of a motor vehicle operator checking mirrors before a turn or negligently opening a car door at a beachside parking spot can abruptly transform a leisurely ride into a life-altering incident. If you or a family member has experienced the repercussions of a bicycle accident, do not hesitate to contact McGovern Gerardi Law. John and Kristina are dedicated to understanding the specific details of your incident - caused at no fault of your own - and providing forthright, honest advice regarding the compensation you rightfully deserve.
