NELSON HESSE,
LLP
has a long history of successfully representing plaintiffs and
defendants in personal injury and wrongful death cases in Sarasota
and throughout Florida. Our personal injury team of experienced
attorneys and paralegals is led by partner
Rob Robinson.
We are not a "high volume"
plaintiff's firm. Instead, our practice focuses on helping
families regain lost wages and other damages. We carefully choose
the plaintiffs we represent, and we limit the cases we handle to
those we truly believe have merit. This allows us to provide our
plaintiff clients with the personal attention and time they need
to assist them in their case.
The drivers on the roads around
you have a responsibility to act reasonably, and if their
failure to do so causes an accident they are liable for the
damages they cause to you and your family. Auto accident victims
are confronted with difficult issues concerning insurance,
medial bills, and loss of wages. We can help guide you and your
family through this process and effectively protect your rights
in court.
In our premises liability
practice, we will help you recover damages if the owner has not
made the property reasonably safe and you are harmed as a
result. For example, parking lots and apartment buildings should
have enough lighting at night to promote a safe environment. A
hotel should take reasonable precautions to protect its guests
if criminal activity is high in the area, and property owners
should take precautions to protect children if an attractive
nuisance is on their land.
Unsafe and
Dangerous Products
We can also help you and your
family if you are injured by an unsafe, dangerous, or defective
product. These can be products that are inherently dangerous,
products that are dangerous if used as intended by the
manufacturer, or defective products that made it onto the store
shelves. Factors to consider include how the product was
marketed (what did the sellers claim the product could do?), the
packaging of the product, instructions or warning about the use
of the product, and the reasonably expected use (and misuse) of
the product.
Medical
Malpractice and Nursing Home Liability
Reasonableness is also a factor
in medial malpractice and nursing home cases. Both doctors and
nursing home facilities owe their patients a reasonable standard
of care and can be held accountable to both victims and their
families if they do not live up to that standard. Because of the
nature of both professions, finding sufficient evidence to prove
a legal case can be challenging, so it is important to seek
legal advice as soon as you suspect a caregiver of not living up
to their responsibilities.

Please include the names of all
parties to allow us to check for conflicts of interests. Do not
send any confidential information until it can be determined
whether any conflict of interest exists. No attorney-client
relationship is established until such time as a written
representation agreement or letter of engagement is fully
executed by
NELSON HESSE, LLP
and the client.
