Each year thousands of Floridians suffer from injuries at the hands or actions of negligent third parties. For those who are fortunate enough to survive the ordeal, these injuries can leave lifelong scars (both physically and emotionally).
In the wake of an injury, victims often have little support, with nowhere to turn for assistance. Time off work, immobility, pain, and suffering, and more can take its toll, all while medical bills and living expenses pile up.
This quarter, Kaire & Heffernan, LLC highlighted a significant milestone in standing up for injury victims’ rights, with 2022 marking 25-years of service, representation, and advocacy for its clients.
An Injury Epidemic
According to FloridaHealth.gov, unintentional injuries represent the leading cause of death among Florida residents ages 1-44, and the fourth leading cause of death overall, with only heart disease, stroke, and cancer outranking it.
Data in the Florida Vital Statistics Annual Report (2019) reveals that in 2019 injuries claimed the lives of nearly 9% of all Floridian deaths. When compared to the CDC’s National Injury Data, Florida’s injury rates overall were 12.57% higher than the national average.
Of injuries sustained, leading categories included motor vehicle accidents, drowning, pedestrian accidents, and cyclist accidents. Similarly, Florida ranks 8th in the USA for the number of medical malpractice claims per capita.
A Personal Injury Firm Dedicated to Client Success
The aftermath of an injury is often devastating for both the victim and their family. Life may never be the same, but getting the compensation a client deserves isn’t only a ‘win’ for justice, it can help pave the path for a new life moving forward, and ease the burden of lost wages, medical bills, therapy, and more.
Kaire & Heffernan, LLC is dedicated to being there during a clients’ most desperate hour of need, acting as a staunch advocate, support system, and legal representative in and out of court. Backed by combined decades of experience, the team at Kaire & Heffernan brings a proven track record of success and a true passion for achieving the highest compensation for injury victims.
Personal Injury Areas of Practice

Auto Accidents: Each year nearly 200,000 car crashes are reported in Florida, resulting in more than 3,000 fatalities and 254,000 injuries (Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles).
Medical Malpractice: Sometimes the people trusted most to care for themselves and loved ones do just the opposite. Florida ranks 8th in the nation for the most medical malpractice cases.
Hotel Accidents: Hotels are usually a safe space to catch some R&R, but hospitality is an industry wrought with negligence and carelessness. From unmarked slippery wet floors, to loose carpeting, and lack of handrails or gripping, hotel injuries happen more often than they should.
Uber Accidents: All it takes is one careless act or distraction to cause an accident, injury, or death. From passengers to pedestrians and cyclists, injuries caused by ride-sharing services such as Uber and Lyft are on the rise.
Bicycle Accidents: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) there were more than 6,500 bicycle accidents in Florida resulting in over 6,170 injuries and 148 deaths (2018).
Negligent Security: In today’s socially charged climate, the need for proper security practices cannot be understated. Be it at work, school, or an event, participants’ and the public’s safety are sometimes put at risk by negligent or inadequate security practices, resulting in sometimes catastrophic outcomes.
