Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a "personal injury" case?
A personal injury case is a legal claim filed when one person suffers harm from an accident or injury, and someone else is legally responsible for that harm. The core of the case is proving that the responsible party acted negligently (i.e., failed to use reasonable care) and that this negligence directly caused the injury. The goal is to recover compensation, known as “damages,” for the victim’s losses.
How much is my personal injury case worth?
The value of every case is unique and depends on several key factors. There’s no set amount, but compensation is calculated based on the total damages you’ve suffered, including economic damages (like medical bills and lost wages) and non-economic, human damages (like pain, suffering, and emotional distress). The severity of the injury and its long-term impact on your life are the most significant factors in determining a case’s value.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
In Florida, the time limit to file a lawsuit, known as the statute of limitations, is generally two years from the date of the accident for most personal injury cases based on negligence. For wrongful death cases, it is also two years from the date of death. It is absolutely critical to act quickly, as failing to file a claim within this window will likely prevent you from ever recovering compensation.
