The Law Offices of Brett Hastings serves clientele from all parts of Jacksonville and the surrounding area who have been injured by somebody’s carelessness, recklessness or malicious behavior. Priority is given to clients whose injuries have incapacitated them or altered their lifestyle on a long-term or permanent basis. High priority is also given to clients having a difficult time getting the treatment and financial support they need.
Victims of serious injuries often experience a lot of fear, frustration and anger over their situation. Injuries keep them from their normal activities and cause them daily pain. They also become emotionally exhausted as they deal with medical bills, restrictions on their activities, and new conflicts with family, friends and loved one-usually arising out of the need to care for or take over responsibilities of the injured person. Financial stress also takes a heavy toll. Medical bills pour in, and they have to manage them and try to get insurance companies to pay them. Additionally, many injury victims cannot work while recovering from injuries and therefore aren’t earning the income needed to pay their ordinary bills and expenses. Creditors and collectors start calling. Family members may take additional jobs or pursue new, higher-paying jobs. These things just add to the emotions and strain already being endured, creating a cumulating vortex of stress and frustration.
Injury victims have a right to live in peace and, especially, heal in peace. High levels of stress can even inhibit healing and prolong the situation. That’s why Florida law provides injury victims the means to collect financial compensation from the people responsible for their injuries. And that’s why the Law Offices of Brett Hastings represent only injury victims-never insurance companies.
