What Type of Damages Do Florida Personal Injury Claims Cover?

Personal injury claims in Florida allow you to recover the following types of damages:

Economic

This is the most important element of a legal claim as this is where you are going to list tangible costs such as medical bills, lost wages, and/or prescription bills. Any cost that was incurred due to the personal injury can be listed here.

Non-Economic

This refers to any non-financial damage that you have had to deal with. This can include anything associated with the recovery process including anxiety, stress, PTSD, and a long list of other issues including a drop in your quality of life.

Punitive

This is not common in personal injury cases unless the individual has severely broken the law of the land.

This will lead to additional sentencing and/or fines depending on what the judge believes is best.

How is Liability Determined After an Injury?

When determining liability for an injury claim you must prove the following four elements of negligence:

Duty of Care

Duty of care is essential when it comes to understanding a person’s role in the accident. Each individual has a responsibility in the situation whether this entails following the rules of the road while driving or managing equipment at a construction site.

Liability can be determined by determining which party was responsible for not following through with their duty of care.

Breach of Duty of Care

Let’s assume the individual has been deemed to have been responsible for their role in the accident. It’s important to look at how significant the breach was for their duty of care in that particular situation. This tends to vary from situation to situation depending on what took place.

If you want to prove liability, it is important to make sure the individual had a massive breach of duty of care, which led to you getting injured.

Causation

Causation is just as important as any other element in the process as you will have to prove their actions specifically led to your injury.

It is important to demonstrate all of the damages being cited are due to the defendant’s actions. This can include the breach of duty of care.

Damages

The final step involves the damages that are going to be highlighted in the legal claim.

If you want to prove liability, you will want to make sure the damages are specifically associated with the accident. This will show all of the damages that are being listed in the claim are due to the accident that occurred.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Florida?

It is important to understand the statute of limitations for these types of cases in the heart of Florida.

You will have four years from the time you get injured to put in a legal claim. It is best to have it ready to go as soon as possible to avoid pushing things to the edge and having the evidence go stale.

A competent legal professional can assist with the process and make it easier for you to get the legal claim in promptly. Feel free to reach out to our law firm at (786) 686-2857 to learn more about what we can do for you moving forward.
