Litigation
The firm represents individuals and entities in civil litigation relating to licensing of medical marijuana treatment centers, employment rights issues, and defending patients rights under the Medical Marijuana Amendment, Article X. sec. 29. This includes litigation against employers and universities for discriminating against patients who test positive for marijuana for using their medicine off work hours and not going to work under the influence. We are here to protect people from unjust discrimination and other issues surrounding cannabis and police misconduct.
Personal Injury
Accidents causing personal injuries are an unfortunate part of life in all 50 states. They are commonly caused by car accidents, on-the-job mishaps, unsafe conditions, slip-and-falls, and medical malpractice. Frequently, these accidents, and the resulting injuries, are not the fault of the victim. Under such circumstances accident victims who have suffered personal injuries may have a claim for damages against the parties at fault. Because Florida has distinct laws governing the issue of fault with regard to accidents, and other rules pertaining to when personal injury lawsuits may be filed, it is important that Florida accident victims reach out to a skilled and experienced Florida personal injury attorney. Our personal injury attorneys have years of experience serving Orlando, Tampa, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Broward County & Miami-Dade County. Don’t hesitate to contact us today.
