As a motorcycle rider himself Attorney Derek Bernstein is fully aware of the devastating impact that a motorcycle accident can leave on yourself and your family. Most riders like myself love the freeing feeling of riding a motorcycle. It's like the ultimate convertible. No constraints around you, just you and the road.
Slip and falls or trip and fall accidents are so prevalent because they can literally happen everywhere. From walking down the aisle of a local grocery store to a parking lot after work hours you never know when your next step could be your last healthy step. According to the National Floor Safety Institute there are eight (8) million ER visits related to falls a year.
With very limited exceptions, all Florida employers are required to have and maintain workers' compensation insurance. Workers' compensation was intended to be a low-conflict way for an employee who gets injured during their job to recover for their losses.

As opposed to most types of injury laws, the workers' compensation scenario does not require the employee to establish that the employer was at fault, or was negligent in causing his/her injuries.Therefore, workers' compensation cases should have lower conflict. What rights and responsibilities does an injured worker in Florida?

Mr. Bernstein has helped my family with 4 different issues. A couple of them are ongoing, but looking promising for us. The ones that are complete are complete in our favor. He spends enough time with us to ensure he understands our goals, without running up the bill, and then, he uses the legal system to ensure we achieve our goals. I've seen him speak to opposing parties, and they are truly intimidated by him and tend to bend to meet our needs. Yet, he is very good with my brother who has an emotional disability. He can be both fierce in opposition and compassionate on our side. We couldn't be

After calling over a dozen attorneys who specialize in healthcare law, none of whom were equipped to handle this particular issue, I was referred to Derek. He cogently evaluated the matter and has been OUTSTANDING! He was able to achieve VERY satisfactory results. A+++ Highly Recommended!!!

Derek Bernstein is the real people's lawyer. He genuinely cares, listens, and is extremely responsive. He's helped me out with a few questions I've had and always answers his phone, rather than a legal secretary or waiting 24-48+ hours for a response he is extremely reliable in terms of getting back to his prospective and current clients. Not only do I know Derek from a professional networking organization in Tampa Bay but also am part of his networking basketball league in St Pete and have gotten to know him on a personal level, and not just through social media or from the side of a billboard
