In most <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/\">personal injury cases<\/a>, however, two key factors are clear from the beginning: <strong>the identities of the plaintiff and defendant and the physical location of the accident in question.<\/strong> In the <a href=\"\/boca-raton-injury\/overview\/\">particular case<\/a> of the Kogan &amp; DiSalvo client with a fractured ankle, there were two parties. It was the plaintiff against the single defendant, which was a company called Kas Grove LLC., a Florida Limited Liability Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:5613759500\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\">Call Us Now for a Free Consultation<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In-State_Claims\"><\/span>In-State Claims<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kogan-disalvo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/iStock-1358278790-gavel-and-statute-book.jpg\" alt=\"A gavel laying on top of a legal book in front of scales\" class=\"wp-image-6671\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A major factor that could change the outcome of a case is whether or not both parties are residents of the state of Florida. In this particular case, both the plaintiff and defendant were in-state\u2014the plaintiff a Florida resident, and the defendant a Florida Limited Liability Company. Had that not been the case, the case may have been very different. Since the plaintiff was seeking more than $75,000 in damages, the defendant would have been able to remove the case from the state court, which was the <strong>preferred forum<\/strong>, to federal court under diversity jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filing_a_Claim_Against_an_LLC\"><\/span>Filing a Claim Against an LLC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The defendant was an LLC, which protects the individual members of the company from personal liability, <strong>similarly<\/strong> to a typical corporation. An LLC shields the individual members of the LLC from personal exposure for anything that results from the LLC\u2019s negligence. As a result, the particular claim, in this case, was filed <strong>strictly against the company<\/strong>, and not any of its members, investors, or employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:5613759500\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\">Call Now to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_of_the_Accident\"><\/span>Location of the Accident<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The location of the particular incident was relevant because this was a <a href=\"\/boca-raton-injury\/premises-liability-lawyer\/\">premises liability case<\/a>, based upon the negligent design of a set of stairs. A staircase is made up of treads and risers. The treads are the part of the stairs that people step on and which are horizontal. The risers are the vertical parts that connect the stair\u2019s treads. In this particular case, the treads and the risers were different sizes and dimensions, which caused my client to fall. There was also another <strong>dangerous condition<\/strong>, which was that the handrail was too large so the plaintiff could not properly grip the handrail to stop from falling. The location was relevant to the cause of action because the stairs were the negligent condition that gave grounds for the lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specific Florida regulations and rules applied to the client\u2019s case due to the <strong>incident location<\/strong>. Because it happened in Palm Beach County, Florida, the South Florida building code applied. That code provides specific regulations regarding the appropriate dimension of the treads and the risers. Attorneys at Kogan &amp; DiSalvo used the building code in the <strong>prosecution of this claim<\/strong> to show that the stairs did not comply with the applicable code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No two cases are <strong>alike<\/strong>. Had this particular case taken place in North Florida as opposed to South Florida, had the plaintiff been a resident of Georgia instead of Florida, had the defendant been an individual instead of an LLC, this case would likely have been very different. An experienced attorney could help you determine the key factors affecting a particular personal injury claim and place you in the best possible position to recover compensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background\" href=\"tel:5613759500\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(206,166,44) 0%,rgb(135,106,2) 91%)\" rel=\"\">Click to Call Now for a Free Consultation<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Any number of factors could affect the outcome of a personal injury case, from the amount of evidence available to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":0,"parent":2012,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cgt_translated_page":false,"_cgt_alternative_url":"","_cgt_current_language":"","_cgt_original_post_id":0,"_cgt_original_language":"","_cgt_target_language":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2013","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Factors Affecting a Boca Raton Personal Injury Case<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"There are many factors affecting a Boca Raton personal injury case.
