WRONGFUL DEATH
When your loved one has died as a result of someone else's negligence, you may have a right to seek compensation. Florida Statutes provides a basis for recovery for these terrible tragedies. Some common causes of wrongful death cases filed in Florida include:
- Medical Malpractice
- Car Accidents
- Criminal Attacks
- Negligent Security
- Automobile Rollovers
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Trucking Accidents
If you have been affected by a wrongful death, your well-being comes first. But do not neglect your legal rights. You might be able to recover funds for any medical expenses or emotional distress. The estate of your loved one may be able to recover his or her future earnings. It is important to remember that time is of the essence in wrongful death matters. If too much time goes by between the death or the accident and the wrongful death lawsuit, you might be prevented from taking legal action.
At King & Markman, our wrongful death attorneys bring more than two decades of trial experience, commitment, and determination to every wrongful death case. Our firm's attorneys, based in Orlando, Florida, have successfully represented and fought for clients in hundreds cases throughout Florida.
If you, a family member, or someone you know has been seriously injured or died as a possible result of the negligence of others, please contact King & Markman.
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS
If you or a loved one has been injured in a car, bus, motorcycle, or truck accident, you might have a valid automobile accident lawsuit to recover your damages as a result of your accident. These accidents cause a tremendous number of injuries and deaths each year.
When contemplating an automobile accident lawsuit under Florida auto accident law, you should always hire experienced Florida lawyers who know the relevant law. The lawyers of King & Markman have a combined two decades of trial experience and extensive experience handling complex automobile accident cases. Our lawyers are experienced not only in the courtroom, but around the negotiating table as well. We have conducted numerous trials and settlements.

NEGLIGENT SECURITY
Property owners have a duty to provide their tenants and guests with reasonably safe premises. However, some property owners provide little or no security at all. This is true even when they know that shootings, rapes, stabbings, and other violent crimes have been committed on or near the property. In some case, they don't warn tenants, guests, or customers of the dangers they know exist. Those guilty of providing negligent or inadequate security include:
- Apartments complexes
- Shopping centers and malls
- Office Buildings
- Hotels
- Condominiums
- Restaurants
- Banks and ATM providers
- Schools, including universities; and
- Gas stations
Under premises liability law, a property owner or the party responsible for maintaining the property may be held legally responsible, or "liable", for the injuries of another if they were the result of a dangerous condition that existed on the property. While there are several circumstances that create unsafe conditions, negligent security law addresses those unsafe conditions created by third party criminal attacks. At King & Markman, our attorneys are dedicated to representing individuals who have been injured due to a property owner's failure to provide reasonable security. If you, a family member, or someone you know has been seriously and/or permanently injured during a criminal attack, please contact King & Markman.
MEDICAL MALPRACTICE / HEALTH LAW
Medical malpractice is the failure of a doctor or other medical professional to provide the expected standard of care resulting in the injury or death of a patient. The human cost of medical errors is high. In a major study released in 1999, the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine found that up to 98,000 people are killed each year by medical errors in hospitals -- far more than those who die from car accidents, breast cancer, or AIDS. Please see Kohn, Corrigan, Donaldson, Eds., To Err is Human; Building a Safer Health System, Institute of Medicine, National Academy Press: Washington, DC, 1999 (These figures vastly underestimate the magnitude of the problem since hospital patients represent only a small percentage of the total population at risk). Yet eight times as many patients are injured by medical malpractice as ever file a claim; 16 times as many suffer injuries as receive any compensation. Please see Harvard Medical Practice Study, Patients, Doctors and Lawyers: Medical Injury, Malpractice Litigation, and Patient Compensation in New York, 1990.
Rather than changing the healthcare system, or protecting innocent physicians from the rising costs of malpractice insurance premiums, the insurance industry and healthcare administrators instead choose to lobby state legislatures and Congress to protect those at fault from being held accountable for their wrongful conduct.
Our attorneys have represented physicians, hospitals, nursing homes and healthcare industry members in a variety of legal matters unique to the healthcare industry including:

SLIP AND FALL
"Slip and fall" is a term used for a personal injury case in which a person slips or trips and falls, and is injured as a result of a dangerous condition on someone else's property. These cases fall under the broader category of cases known as "premises liability" cases. The term "premises liability" refers to a situation when an individual is injured on property, or "premises" owned or maintained by someone else, and the owner or possessor of the property is held liable for such injury.
Property owners and businesses have a duty to provide a reasonably safe environment for people on their property and, if they fail to do so and someone is injured as a result, they may be held liable for the injured person's medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Dangerous conditions such as torn carpeting, changes in flooring, poor lighting, narrow stairs, or a wet floor can cause someone to slip and hurt him or herself inside a building. In addition, a slip and fall case might arise when someone slips or trips and falls because of inappropriate or slick flooring, the owners failure to adequately clean the flooring, or a hidden hazard, such as a pothole in the ground.
At King & Markman, our attorneys are dedicated to representing individuals who have been injured due to a property owner's failure to provide a reasonably safe premises. If you, a family member, or someone you know has been seriously and/or permanently injured as a result of a slip and fall accident, please contact King & Markman.

INSURANCE DISPUTES
Most people have insurance to protect them for unforeseen loses. Insurance policies typically cover the loss of life, property, or damages caused by fire water and other accidents. We all pay their insurance premiums faithfully, expecting insurance companies to act in our best interest when we need them the most. Unfortunately when a loss occurs, too often is the case that people are shocked to learn that a simple claim for payment has been denied. When you need your insurance company to respond to your loss, dealing with them can be difficult and extremely stressful.
Policyholders, for the most part, are held responsible for reading and understanding these insurance polices, no matter how complicated and undecipherable the wording may seem to the average person. Do not let your insurance company take advantage of you.
When a dispute arises with your insurance company, it is important to promptly consult with a lawyer early in the process to ensure that your rights are fully protected. If you, a family member, or someone you know has been denied insurance proceeds, please contact King & Markman.
