What Compensation Can Be Recovered in a Personal Injury Claim?
By filing a personal injury claim against a negligent or at-fault party, you can seek rightful compensation for your damages. In legal terms, “damages” refers to any economic or non-economic losses you suffered due to the accident, injury, or event.
Examples of common economic and non-economic damages include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost income/wages
- Lost earning ability (disability)
- Future medical expenses and lost earnings
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
How Long Do You Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?
Florida has a four-year statute of limitations on most personal injury cases. This means you usually only have four years from the date of the accident/injury (or the date on which you discovered or reasonably should have discovered the injury) to file your claim. In cases involving wrongful death, you only have two years from the date of death to bring a claim.
The statute of limitations may be shorter or longer depending on certain factors, such as the type of claim, the liable entity, and more. It is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible and do not wait until it is too late to seek compensation for your damages.
Why You Need a Personal Injury Attorney
While you are not required by law to work with an attorney on your personal injury claim, having an experienced legal team on your side is incredibly invaluable. Most personal injury claims are filed against insurance companies. These companies have their own legal teams that are ready to fight claims and reduce payouts. Often, insurance adjusters will use tricky tactics to get claimants to unwittingly admit fault for an accident or downplay the severity of their injuries. Adjusters also often try to argue that a claimant’s injuries are actually a pre-existing condition and, therefore, the insurance company is not liable for them.
Dealing with the insurance company after an accident can be a nightmare. With the Law Offices of Ron Sholes, P.A. on your side, you don’t have to worry about discussing your claim with insurance adjusters or their legal teams whatsoever. Instead, our attorneys will handle everything, allowing you to focus on your physical recovery while we fight for the financial resources you need and deserve.
