The U.S. legal system is divided into two main categories: criminal and civil actions. Criminal actions are brought by the state against individuals and usually involve fines, imprisonment, and other penalties. Civil actions, on the other hand, are initiated by private parties (individuals and companies) and typically seek money damages as compensation for the wrongful acts by another that caused them physical or financial harm. Civil actions involve a wide array of legal theories under which private parties may sue for damages, including breach of contract, negligence such as auto accidents and slip and falls, employment discrimination, wrongful termination, and mortgage foreclosure. While the overwhelming majority of all civil lawsuits filed – around 98% - settle out of court, in some cases, it makes sense to go to trial and let the judge or jury decide. For example, in a case involving a client who suffered serious, permanent injuries in an auto accident, if the insurance company refuses to make a reasonable settlement offer, the case should proceed to trial so that we may try to maximize the client’s chances of a fair recovery instead of settling for a trivial amount. The attorneys at PERENICH The Law Firm have over 70 years of combined experience and resources to take a case through trial and a jury verdict. We have tried dozens of cases throughout Florida, including Pinellas, Hillsborough, and Pasco Counties, and you can count on us to fight to resolve your case for what it’s worth.
