We often pursue damages from the product manufacturer and other parties that are part of the supply chain process. Our firm has years of experience representing the injured or the family of the person killed by a defective product. We seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These cases are opportunities to force liable parties to remove unsafe products from shelves or improve standards.
Medical malpractice occurs when a hospital, doctor, dentist, nurse or health care facility, through a negligent act or omission, causes an injury. This negligence can come from errors in diagnosis, treatment, aftercare, or health management. Medical malpractice claims are more complex. It is crucial to retain a firm with extensive medical malpractice experience and knowledge. We will ensure you comply with the extensive pre-suit requirements, including having a qualified medical expert verify your claim within the statute of limitations so that the court considers the merits of your case.

We pursue wrongful death cases after a fatal car accident, a death caused by a dangerous our defective product, bike accident or medical malpractice.

In Florida, it is usually required that you file a wrongful death complaint within two years from the time of death. Our firm can help you through the claims process, meet deadlines and seek justice.
Whether you’ve been skydiving, ziplining, or rented a paddleboard, you’ve probably signed a document that contains similar language. Businesses ask you to sign waivers for yourself or your child to release themselves of legal responsibility for any injuries you may incur. Defective equipment, lack of instruction or supervision may have had an impact on your accident. There are ways to pursue a claim by showing that the liability waiver is unenforceable or invalid under Florida law.
Pedestrians that are walking or bicycling often have the “right of way.” If a motorist fails to yield to a pedestrian or cyclist, or drives in an otherwise careless, reckless, or negligent manner that causes an accident, they can be held responsible. Speeding, driving while intoxicated, and failure to stop or yield are all common causes of pedestrian and bicycle accidents that entitle you to seek compensation. Our team has the experience and resources to help you hold a negligent motorist responsible for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering.
Animal attacks are dangerous and can be traumatizing. Victims can be physically and emotionally scarred. In the most serious of attacks, a victim may be disfigured or even died. Pet owners or caretakers can be held liable.

Cases such as a dog bite or other types of animal attacks can be complicated. It is essential to retain a firm like KL that is experienced and knowledgeable in Florida animal attack laws.

In April of 2019 I was in a (what could have been) severe car accident. I was stopped in traffic and was rear-ended by a SUV going 60mph. This was my first real accident and also my first dealings with a lawyer. From the beginning of the process I was scared of what to do and if I would be taken advantage of, but from the first moment I sat down to the last signature on the paperwork I had a feeling of being treated like a person and not a payout. I can’t even express in words how the entire staff of Kleinman and Lessmann handled my case. They were always polite and informative, but more importantly…they weren’t pushy. I was in control of my case; they guided me through each step to explain what the process was so I wasn’t scared or confused anymore. If I ever need a personal injury lawyer again, there is no question…they are my lawyers!
I have had the privilege of Ian Kleinman and Bennett Lessmann representing me in my personal injury case. They are honest, trustworthy and very straightforward. They will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. They have tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never lose site of the end goal, which is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for their client. Which is exactly what they did!! My long journey is finally at an end with the best outcome possible. With the help of their amazing staff, they get the job done. THANK YOU!!
Two different friends referred me to Kleinman & Lessmann, after I was injured in a car an accident. I was able to focus on my recovery while they handled the of tedious process of dealing with 2 mega insurance companies, including my own UM carrier, who were more concerned with playing games than covering my medical bills. K&L stopped their games and guided me through the whole process.
I couldn’t be happier with the end result of my case, they were very thorough with me, explaining all my options. I have gone on to refer friends and the results have been the same. I have continued to work with them in some of my community programs and they continue to support all our efforts to help the youth and raise awareness against substance use disorder, this is what truly makes them remarkable and separates them, please don’t hesitate, their help and experience has changed the course of my life and family.

When salons don’t correctly sanitize equipment between each appointment, the results can be severe. Skin and toenail infections are bad enough, but dangerous bacteria can lead to permanent damage and, in extreme cases, death.
Everything changed for Bennett Lessmann when he started college and stepped into Judicial Politics class. Fascinated by the subject and motivated to excel, Bennett realized practicing law was in his future.
Big law firms tout large settlements and talk a big game, but you might find smoke and mirrors if you take a deeper look. When searching for a personal attorney to fight for you and get the maximum settlement you deserve, boutique-sized firms are far superior.
