Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
Our dedicated team can answer any questions you have. We’re here to address questions like:
What are the elements of negligence after an accident?
In order to establish that the at-fault party in your personal injury case is liable for your damages, the law requires that you, as the plaintiff, must prove the following four basic elements:
- Duty of Care: The defendant was responsible for behaving in a way that would keep you from suffering injury.
- Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to fulfill their duty of care.
- Causation: The defendant’s failure to meet their duty of care caused the accident in question.
- Damages: As a result of the accident, you suffered physical, emotional, and economic damages.
Our investigation will leave us fully prepared to satisfy all four legal requirements, which enables us to move on to determining your damages and establishing the value of your case.
How long do I have to file my personal injury lawsuit?
Florida’s statute of limitations (VIII.95.11) gives you a restricted amount of time following your accident in which you can take legal action on a personal injury. The state gives you around two years from the date of your accident. Two years may seem like an eon away, but you would be surprised how that time can slip away from you.
How much compensation will I get after my accident?
The value of your personal injury claim will vary based on factors like the extent of your losses and your degree of liability for the accident. We need to carefully assess your situation before we can estimate how much compensation you could receive.
