Personal injury law stands out from other cases by focusing on those who’ve been hurt—often in car or 18-wheeler accidents—unlike general litigation, which covers issues like business or property disputes. At Spetsas Buist, we also handle shootings, stabbings, or assaults at business properties, known as “negligent security” cases, as well as cases involving deaths at mental health or drug treatment facilities and nursing homes.
We work with individuals and families to secure compensation for medical costs, lost income, and emotional distress. These cases often come down to proving someone else was at fault and that their negligence caused serious harm.
If you’ve been in an accident, your first priority should be your health. Get medical care, and if possible, take photos, gather witness info, save reports, and avoid posting about it online because anything you post could be used against you.
Even if you were partially at fault, you might still be able to recover some damages. Many states follow what’s called “comparative negligence,” which means your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault—not wiped out entirely.
People often mistake personal injury cases as “get rich quick” schemes, but without them, safety standards would slip and risks to the public would increase. Without that, negligence would go unpunished. That is, unless the negligence was so egregious that it rose to the level of criminal negligence.
Don’t wait too long to pursue legal help. Deadlines vary by state and can change. Florida, for example, recently shortened its statute of limitations from four years to two.
Personal injury cases can be complex and time-sensitive, but at Spetsas Buist, we’re here to guide you every step of the way and fight for the justice you’re entitled to under the law. With us, you’ll have direct contact with your lawyer. We also offer free consultations and don’t get paid unless you win—no upfront fees!
We’re passionate about helping our clients and building lasting relationships. Don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re here for you.
