Weeki Wachee Personal Injury Lawyer
Job injury and disability victims are entitled to significant benefits.
This community was founded as a city in 1966 to promote the local mermaid attraction. The park includes water rides, animal shows, mermaid costume shows, and manatee watching. A large wildlife preserve is adjacent to the park. Weeki Wachee is one of the smallest communities in the Tampa Bay area. Most people who come here are just passing through.
Whether you are a lifelong Tampa Bay resident or just passing through, the Weeki Wachee personal injury lawyers at The Rooth Law Firm are available to serve you. Usually, the courts are open to everyone, regardless of race, color, or creed. Furthermore, we treat all our clients with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Areas of Practice
At The Rooth Law Firm, we focus exclusively on personal injury matters. We help injured victims obtain the compensation they need and deserve. Our specific areas of practice include:
- Social Security Disability: If you cannot work and are disabled, life-changing Social Security benefits may be available. These benefits usually include monthly cash and Medicaid membership. Contrary to popular myth, an individual could be working and still qualify for SSD benefits. The qualifying disability could be an injury, like a car crash injury, or a disease, such as a mental illness.
- Workers’ Compensation: Similar benefits are available if the illness or injury was work-related. The workers’ compensation process, like the SSD process, is often long and frustrating. Fortunately for victims, in the mid-2010s, the law in this area changed significantly, making these benefits available to more people. Nevertheless, mostly because workers’ compensation insurance premiums have plummeted in recent years, it is difficult for a Weeki Wachee personal injury lawyer to obtain a fair-sized piece of a shrinking financial pie.
Some job injury victims can file civil claims outside the workers’ compensation system, if their employer did not have the required insurance or their employer acted recklessly. The additional compensation in civil cases usually includes money for emotional distress and other noneconomic losses.
Our Team
Our lead attorney, Joseph Rooth, is a Board-Certified workers’ compensation lawyer. Fewer than 1 percent of Florida attorneys have obtained this certification.
That status speaks to Mr. Rooth’s experience and dedication to clients. Our team has decades of experience, and over the years, we’ve developed proven methods in these areas. As for dedication, like you, we are not satisfied with anything less than the best possible result under the circumstances.
Our Approach
Regardless of the size of your case, we use the same approach. Quite simply, we plan our work, and then we work our plan.
The planning includes a thorough case evaluation. After that evaluation, we explain your legal options in a language you can understand, not in Legalese. Families who are fully aware of the pros and cons of legal action make much better decisions.
The work includes collecting evidence that supports your claims and refutes possible defenses. Minimum effort in this area usually generates minimal results.
The work continues when your case goes to court. Unlike some other attorneys, our Weeki Wachee personal injury lawyers never look for a quick settlement or an easy way out.
