A serious car crash, work accident, or property accident can cost a lot to address, but a financial award could offer some measure of justice and security. The purpose of a claim is to seek monetary compensation for both economic and non-economic losses resulting from the incident. When it comes to a personal injury claim, compensation may include:
Specific damages are assessed according to each case and Florida statutes. Legal guidance from a Kendall attorney is important for determining what forms of personal injury compensation may be factored into settlement negotiations or trial.
Timely legal action is necessary after an injury, as Florida’s law imposes strict time limitations. In most matters, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury, as dictated by Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4). For something like a truck accident that occurs near high-traffic areas such as Kendall Drive, or a slip and fall in Dadeland Mall, it is important to start the legal process quickly to preserve all evidence.
Florida operates under a pure comparative negligence standard (Fla. Stat. § 768.81), allowing individuals to recover damages even when partially at fault. However, any compensation awarded is reduced by the percentage of fault assigned. A Kendall personal injury attorney can offer:
It is essential to obtain a copy of documented injuries from the treating physician, gather contact information from witnesses, and refrain from speaking with insurance companies or signing any documents before talking to a lawyer.
Our firm works exclusively on a contingency fee basis. Clients owe nothing in attorney fees unless we secure compensation for them.
After an accident, focus on going to the doctor first. Afterwards, a personal injury attorney can handle things like documenting the accident scene, and gathering witness information.
The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies depending on the complexity of the case, the willingness of the parties to negotiate, and whether the case goes to trial. In can take anywhere from several months to a couple of years.
