PRACTICE AREAS
DIVORCE & FAMILY LAW
The dissolution of a marriage can be a heart wrenching and stressful experience, not only for the couple, but also for the children involved. Issues such as alimony and child support, allocation of marital assets and liabilities, and coming up with timesharing parenting plans can be a complex process requiring the guidance of a caring and adept Lakeland divorce and family lawyer.
When you are faced with an important life decision regarding a key family issue and relationship, the advice and assistance of a Lakeland family attorney will prove crucial to your understanding of the issues involved. Specific areas of representation include divorce, paternity, and parenting plans also called timesharing
Attorney Darla K. Snead is available to help you throughout the entire process.
PERSONAL INJURY & AUTO ACCIDENTS
Personal injury claims take on an entirely different character from family law cases: here, the injured victim is seeking compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering arising out of the accident. The first step here is not to file a lawsuit, but to file a personal injury claim with the insurance company. Your Lakeland personal injury attorney must have detailed knowledge of Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) laws in order to obtain a compensation amount that is fair and satisfactory.
If you have damages that surpass the amount allowable by PIP (such as special damages or medical expenses greatly exceeding the insured amount), your lawyer must be fully prepared to go to court and file a general personal injury lawsuit against the person, persons, or company responsible for your injury. The likely ground for such a lawsuit is negligence.
