Areas of Legal Practice
Accidents happen all the time but if you are hurt in an automobile accident because of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering.
The attorneys at Jacobus & Fielding work hard for you ensuring that you are compensated fairly and that your quality of life is restored and comparable to your life style before the accident.
Florida Personal Injury Cases
If you have suffered because of a slip and fall, vicious dog bite or other type of personal injury, we care about your personal well-being. In a personal injury case, there are no caps or limits on what a jury may award an injured person, and the categories of damage are far broader than in workers’s compensation. Among some of the categories for which a person my seek damages are:
Past and future medical bills
Past and future lost wages
Past and future pain and suffering
Past and future disability
Disfigurement
We understand that successful results come from knowledge and diligence and we work hard for each and every client.
Wrongful Death Litigation
A wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the decedent was killed as a result of the negligence of another. Examples of wrongful conduct that may lead to death include drinking and driving, manufacturing a deficient product, neglecting a person in your care or failing to diagnose a fatal disease.
Florida statutes provide compensation for persons who may have suffered monetary damages from the death of the victim in addition to the enormous emotional loss.
The attorneys at Jacobus & Fielding Trial Lawyers, LLC understand your loss and, with utmost compassion, will work diligently for you ensuring fair compensation.
We Know Social Security Disability Law
The Social Security Administration provides benefits to people who suffer from an injury or disease that prevents them from working, or is expected to prevent them from working for one year or longer. In many cases, whether a person suffers from a disability, has been injured on the job or in an accident, they are entitled to Social Security Disability benefits or Supplemental Security Income benefits.
The attorneys at Jacobus & Fielding can help guide you through the overwhelming maze of regulation and red tape of the application process. If you have becomedisabled, you are eligible to apply for disability within your company, either short or long term, or for other benefits through workers’ compensation. You must also apply for Social Security Disability benefits.
It is extremely important when developing a Social Security Disability case or a Social Security Supplemental Income case that the individual consults with an attorney who can assist you in collecting medical records and assessing whether or not the claim will meet the stringent requirements of the Social Security Administration.

The attorneys at Jacobus & Fielding are committed to protecting the rights of injured workers by ensuring that individuals suffering from a work-related injury are substantially compensated.
If you are injured at work, you are entitled to a percentage of your lost wages until you can return to work, as well as money for medical treatment, and often, permanent disability.
A person injured in a work-related accident can seek compensation for the following categories of damage:
Percentage of payment of medical bills.
Percentage of average weekly wage for the period after the accident when the person misses work.
Percentage of average weekly wage for a to-be-determined number of weeks, representing permanent disability.
