A serious injury can leave you devastated, physically, emotionally, and financially. It’s wrong to have to suffer like this, and even more so when the injuries were from an accident that wasn’t your fault. If your injuries make it impossible for you to return to work, you might not have the money to pay your bills or seek the comprehensive medical treatment you need. You can’t focus on healing or recovering from your injuries when you’re worried about keeping a roof over your head.
During such a challenging time, it’s important to understand that you don’t have to fight this battle alone. The experienced Daytona Beach personal injury attorneys of Rue & Ziffra understand what you’re going through, and we can help.

Daytona Beach is no stranger to accidents.
Consider these startling facts:
The fact is, you could find yourself the victim of a serious injury accident almost anywhere. If you sustain injuries in Daytona Beach, you need a strong, experienced attorney on your side.
The personal injury attorneys of Rue & Ziffra can assist you with virtually any type of case involving another party’s negligence, carelessness, or wrongful action. Some of the most common types of personal injury cases we handle include:
If you lost a loved one due to an accident in Daytona Beach, we can also assist you in the process of filing a wrongful death claim. Contact our office as soon as possible, as time is of the essence. The Florida statute of limitations for a wrongful death action allows you only two years to file a wrongful death claim.
We explain how the statute of limitations affects your case and help ensure you don’t lose your legal right to recover compensation.
Nothing in the Florida statutes requires that you have an attorney to represent you in a personal injury claim. However, working with the Rue & Ziffra team of Daytona Beach personal injury lawyers provides many compelling advantages.
A survey conducted by the legal research experts at Martindale-Nolo found that most injury victims who had representation from a personal injury attorney had significantly better outcomes than those people who were not represented by a lawyer. On average, having an attorney cut the duration of survey participants’ cases in half while getting settlements that were almost four times higher.
Once you choose the Rue & Ziffra team to assist you, we mobilize our resources. We investigate every facet of your claim, gathering the evidence and documentation we need to build your case. No matter the nature or extent of your injuries, we have investigators to get to the bottom of the matter and experts to provide opinions and testimony.
Insurance companies don’t want to pay you a dime more than they have to, even if their client was at fault for your injuries and damages. In fact, they want to compensate you as little as possible. They often propose settlements that represent only a small fraction of your claim’s value. Acting as a buffer between you and the insurance company, we hold them accountable for your damages and won’t back down.
Remember that anything you say to the insurance company at any time can be used against you. That’s why it’s best to have a personal injury attorney by your side from the start. Speak with one of our Daytona personal injury lawyers before you agree to any settlement offers or provide any information to other attorneys or the insurance company.
After a serious injury or accident, victims and their families have many questions in mind. We encourage you to contact us today for a free consultation, so we can personally address all your questions and concerns.
Meanwhile, these are a few of the most common questions we hear from our clients:
If you have browsed many Daytona Beach attorney sites, you might have seen statements such as:
“If the other party in your accident was negligent…” or
“If you suffered injuries due to someone else’s negligence…”
Proving negligence, or fault, in a personal injury case is complicated and nuanced. It’s absolutely crucial to consult with a personal injury lawyer on the specifics of your accident. Your case is stronger if your attorney proves that the other party was more (or completely) at fault.
Just as there is no such thing as a typical client, we have no way to determine what an average personal injury settlement value might be. Before beginning the personal injury process, you deserve to know, with reasonable certainty, how much you might stand to recover for your damages.
Some factors that might affect the potential value of your settlement include:
In a personal injury claim, you typically have the right to pursue physical, emotional, and financial damages. Talking with a personal injury attorney can give you a better understanding of your claim’s value.
Whether your injuries resulted from a car accident, slip, and fall, medical malpractice, or another type of incident, the details of your case are unique. Depending on the details of your case, you may have the right to compensation for:
Our legal team will gather all the details from you, and based on your injuries and other damages, we will provide you with a more accurate estimate of what your settlement value could be.
The Florida statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is four years. The statutes do provide some exceptions that could extend your window to file a lawsuit. However, those exceptions are limited. Talking with an attorney helps preserve your rights to file a personal injury suit.
Note that the statute of limitations does vary by case type. For a medical malpractice case, you have two years to file an action in court. If a public or governmental entity had a fault, you must file within three years of the injury date.
Fortunately, the majority of Florida personal injury cases settle out of court. Our legal team builds the strongest possible case and negotiates aggressively with the insurance company. Once we receive a fair settlement offer, you can get a check and get your life back.
In some cases, the insurance company refused to make a reasonable settlement offer. If that happens, we stand ready to file a lawsuit and take your case to court. We are experienced litigators and make it clear to all parties that we will do whatever is necessary to get justice for our clients.
Before you provide a statement to any insurance company or discuss any type of settlement, it is imperative that you talk to an attorney.
