About Beltz & Ruth, P.A.
REPRESENTING ONLY THE INJURED
We have always dedicated ourselves to helping those who have suffered injury or death as a result of other's negligence. We represent only injured persons and their families. We do not and will not represent insurance companies, governmental organizations or corporations.
Most of the injury claims handled by our firm are brought against major corporations and insurance companies that spare no expense in their goal to minimize any potential recovery. Many small firms lack the resources, both from a financial and personnel standpoint, to pursue cases against major corporations and insurance companies.
At Beltz & Ruth, P.A., we have the legal and financial resources to litigate with major corporations and insurance companies. Our firm will expend whatever time and costs are necessary to successfully represent our clients and our firm's resources are available to all our clients, whether the case involves a multimillion dollar nursing home matter or a modest motorcycle accident.
Our type of practice requires obtaining and reviewing substantial medical records and conducting detailed investigations to determine the cause of the injuries or death as the case may be. In that regard, the firm has built a diverse team including attorneys, investigators, paralegals and other support staff.
While our main office is located in St. Petersburg, Florida, we maintain offices in other cities to meet our clients and we are available for home or hospital visits when necessary.
Beltz & Ruth, P.A. is a personal injury law firm dedicated to providing high quality, aggressive legal representation to victims of personal injury. Our firm handles many different types of personal injury cases, most of which are covered in detail on this website. Among the many kinds of cases we review are claims for:
- People injured by dangerous, defective and unsafe drugs, medical devices and consumer products. These are called product liability claims, and they include the latest drug litigation over Baycol, found to cause serious injury and death due to a muscle condition called rhabdomyolysis; the diabetes drug Rezulin, which has been withdrawn from he market after being found to cause severe liver damage, liver failure and death; as well as Propulsid, which is a heartburn medication withdrawn from the market after being linked to hundreds of heart rhythm abnormalities and many deaths. These medical product liability claims also include Sulzer hip defective implant claims.
- People suffering from hemorrhagic stroke caused by the chemical additive Phenylpropanolamiine, or PPA, a common ingredient in over the counter weight loss drugs as well as cold and cough medications.
- Babies who suffer birth injuries, brain damage, or cerebral palsy due to birth trauma or medical malpractice.
- People who suffer injuries due to hospital staff negligence and medical malpractice. These claims include nursing home abuse, one of today's most troubling areas.
- People injured in automobile accidents resulting from the negligence of other drivers.
- People injured in the workplace.
- Construction workers or other workers injured through the negligence of others.
- Victims of toxic torts, such as harm caused by pesticides, lead paint, chemical exposure, or water contamination.
- People injured by defective tires or vehicle design, such as in the Firestone tire litigation.
An initial discussion with us about your case is free of charge or obligation, and we only charge a fee if we're successful in recovering an award for you. We will not ask you to pay a retainer fee up front, because we recognize that most people cannot afford to do so. Our fees are based on a percentage of any recovery we make for you. This is called a contingent fee agreement.
