Get Experienced & Knowledgeable Legal Counsel Today

If you or a loved one has suffered an injury caused by the negligent actions of someone else, you may be wondering about your legal options to obtain compensation for hospital bills, lost income, as well as pain and suffering. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for an at-fault party or their insurer to either reduce the amount of money you’re entitled to or deny your claim altogether. That means you could be left paying for your recovery, which can be difficult to do if you aren’t able to work.

Personal Injury Laws in Florida

You may file a personal injury lawsuit if you were injured in an accident caused by a negligent person or entity. You have four years from the date of the accident to file a claim in Florida in civil court.

You must prove the following elements to be successful in a personal injury lawsuit:

  • You were owed a duty of care by the at-fault party

  • The at-fault party breach their duty

  • The at-fault party’s breach contributed to the accident that caused your injuries

  • Your injuries resulted in monetary losses

There are three types of damages you could be eligible for: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages. Economic damages are tangible monetary losses like hospital bills, lost income, and property damage, while non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. On the other hand, punitive damages are designed to punish the at-fault party for their grossly negligent or malicious behavior and deter similar misconduct in the future.

Yet, the defendant may say you are completely or partially at fault for the accident. If that is the case, Florida follows a rule called “pure comparative negligence,” which means your total compensation will be reduced according to your percentage of liability. So, if a jury awards you with $100,000 in total damages but also determined you were 20 percent at fault, you will only receive $80,000.
