Personal Injury Lawyer

Attorney Concetta Camacho serves clients across Palm Beach County and throughout Florida in a wide range of injury cases.

Florida Personal Injury Lawyer Serving Palm Beach County and Beyond

You’re hurting, overwhelmed, and unsure what to do next. Camacho Injury Law understands what that feels like. As a Florida-based personal injury practice, the firm helps people after car crashes, falls, and other preventable injuries—handling the legal heavy lifting so clients can focus on their health and their families.

What Is a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Personal injury law protects people who are hurt because someone else was careless, reckless, or broke the rules. If a driver wasn’t paying attention, a property owner ignored a hazard, or a business failed to keep customers safe, the law allows injured people to seek compensation for their losses.

At Camacho Injury Law, the role is clear and direct:

  • Investigate what happened
  • Prove who was at fault
  • Build the evidence
  • Fight for the highest recovery the law allows

The firm negotiates firmly with insurance companies, and when they refuse to be fair, Attorney Camacho files suit and is prepared to take the case to court.

Types of Cases a Personal Injury Lawyer Handles

Our firm handles many types of Florida injury claims, including:

Car Accidents

Crashes involving careless or distracted drivers, from intersections to highways, causing injuries and financial strain.

Truck Accidents

Collisions with commercial trucks or delivery vehicles that often result in severe, life-changing injuries.

Motorcycle Accidents

Wrecks where riders are frequently seriously hurt because other drivers fail to see or respect motorcycles.

Pedestrian accidents

Injuries to people walking or crossing the street when drivers don’t yield, speed, or simply aren’t paying attention.

Bicycle accidents

Collisions caused by unsafe drivers, poor road design, or lack of bike awareness, leaving cyclists vulnerable.

Rideshare accidents (Uber & Lyft)

Injuries that occur while riding in, being hit by, or driving for rideshare vehicles, often involving multiple insurers and complex coverage issues.

Slip and fall

Falls on wet, uneven, or poorly maintained surfaces that property owners should have fixed or warned about.

Premises liability

Injuries caused by dangerous property conditions, such as defects, code violations, or neglected maintenance.

Negligent security

Harm made worse because a business or property failed to provide reasonable security, lighting, or safeguards.

Wrongful death

Cases where a family loses a loved one because of someone else’s careless or wrongful actions.

Other serious injury claims

Catastrophic injuries, including brain, spine, or orthopedic damage, that disrupt work, family life, and independence.

Examples of Situations That May Lead to a Claim

Some common real-world situations that may lead to a personal injury claim include:

  • Being rear-ended at a light on Okeechobee Blvd and suffering neck and back injuries
  • Slipping on a wet floor in a grocery store with no warning signs and breaking a wrist
  • Falling down poorly lit stairs at an apartment complex with broken handrails
  • Being sideswiped by a delivery truck on I-95, leaving a vehicle totaled
  • Being hurt in a parking lot because of inadequate security and lighting

“If your first reaction is, ‘This shouldn’t have happened,’ that’s usually a sign it’s worth talking to a lawyer.”

Shared Fault and Insurance Company Tactics

Even if someone believes they may share some blame, they shouldn’t automatically count themselves out. Under Florida law, recovery may still be possible depending on their percentage of fault.

Insurance companies often work to minimize, delay, or deny valid claims. They may:

  • Shift blame onto the injured person
  • Downplay injuries
  • Push quick, low settlement offers

Camacho Injury Law steps in to protect clients, correct the record, and push for the best outcome the law allows.

How a Personal Injury Lawyer Helps After an Accident

Investigating and Preserving Evidence

Attorney Camacho moves quickly to secure proof before it disappears. The firm may gather:

  • Scene photos and videos
  • Witness statements
  • Surveillance or dashcam footage
  • Police and incident reports
  • Expert analysis on crashes, defects, or property hazards
  • Medical documentation connecting the injury to the event

Evidence can fade fast. The firm’s goal is to lock it down early so the case is built on solid ground.

Dealing With Insurance Companies for You

We handle all calls, letters, and emails with insurers so clients don’t have to. The firm:

  • Prevents harmful recorded statements
  • Corrects adjuster assumptions
  • Keeps negotiations focused on facts and value

This allows injured people to focus on treatment and family instead of battling with insurance companies.

Calculating the Full Value of Your Case

Attorney Camacho looks at the whole picture, not just immediate bills:
  • Medical expenses (ER, surgery, rehab, medication)
  • Future medical care and support
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage and out-of-pocket costs
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life

Negotiation, Litigation, and Trial

Most cases resolve through settlement. When the insurer won’t be fair, Camacho Injury Law files a lawsuit to protect the claim and pursue justice in court. Attorney Camacho prepares every case as if a jury will eventually hear it—because that level of preparation often creates the leverage needed to resolve a case on better terms.

Potential Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

Every case is different. No lawyer can promise a specific result. What our injury law firm can promise is a commitment to fight for every dollar the law reasonably allows.

Possible compensation may include:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and loss of enjoyment of life

In wrongful death cases, available damages may also include:

  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Loss of financial support
  • Loss of companionship and guidance

The Personal Injury Claim Process

Step 1 – Free Consultation and Case Evaluation

The process starts with a conversation. The injured person explains what happened; Attorney Camacho answers questions, explains legal rights, and outlines potential next steps.

Step 2 – Investigation and Evidence Gathering

We secure records, photos, videos, witness statements, and expert input to prove fault and damages.

Step 3 – Demand Package and Negotiation

The firm prepares a detailed demand to the insurer, backed by evidence and a clear explanation of the case’s value, then negotiates firmly on the client’s behalf.

Step 4 – Filing a Lawsuit if Necessary

If the insurance company refuses to make a fair offer, the firm files suit to protect the claim and keep the case moving.

Step 5 – Discovery, Mediation, and Trial

The parties exchange evidence, take depositions, and often attend mediation. If needed, Attorney Camacho tries the case in court.

Many cases settle before trial, but Camacho Injury Law still prepares every case like it will go in front of a jury—because preparation wins cases.

Deadlines can be short. Many negligence claims in Florida must be filed within two years, but some have different timelines—especially claims against government entities. The firm encourages you to reach out as soon as possible so your rights can be protected.

Most cases settle. If an insurer won’t be fair, Attorney Camacho is prepared to file suit and try the case in court when that is in the client’s best interest.

You may still recover compensation depending on your share of fault under Florida’s comparative negligence rules. Camacho Injury Law will review the facts before you assume you don’t have a case.

It depends on medical treatment, disputes over fault, and how cooperative the insurer is. Some cases resolve in a few months; others take a year or more, especially if a lawsuit is filed.
