You break it, you buy it. This simple responsibility principle, which most of us are familiar with, applies in China shops and in civil courts. When people negligently break items in China shops, they must pay compensation. Likewise, when a person negligently injures another person, that tortfeasor (negligent actor) must pay compensation. The compensation in a personal injury case is higher because a person is worth much more than a coffee mug.

Despite what TV commercials imply, insurance companies do whatever it takes to help tortfeasors avoid this responsibility and deny compensation to victims. A Sarasota personal injury lawyer from Carman & Bevington, on the other hand, does whatever it takes to obtain the compensation injury victims need and deserve. In most cases, our legal team settles these matters out of court.
