What You Need To Know About Personal Injury Claims The first thing you should do if you’ve been injured in an accident is seek medical care and advice. When you’re able, you should contact an attorney who can explain your rights and the personal injury claim process. Florida, like all other states, has its own statute of limitations for personal injury claims. You have four years from the date of an accident or incident to file a personal injury claim in Florida. Florida also uses the concept of “comparative negligence” in personal injury claims. The claim process determines the degree of responsibility involved parties have in an accident or incident leading to injury. If someone is found to be 50 percent responsible in an incident, for example, and they receive a $10,000 award, the award will be reduced by 50 percent. Types Of Damages Awarded For Personal Injury Claims In Tamarac If you’ve been injured in an accident in Tamarac, it’s helpful to understand how damages are determined in the personal injury claims process. The term “damages” refers to specific injury categories and areas of financial need for compensation. Damages can include: damage to your property, including vehicle medical care, hospitalization, and surgery counseling and psychiatric care medications and physical therapy job retraining and occupational therapy missed work or lost wages projected future work and income pain and suffering Depending on the circumstances of your personal injury, damages meant to punish or prevent future similar incidents can be awarded. “Punitive damages” aren’t common, but they can be awarded in personal injury cases where severe negligence or wrongdoing has led to injuries and fatalities. Knowing What Your Claim Is Worth The amount you can receive from your personal injury claim in Tamarac will be influenced by the severity of injuries and the degree of property damage, as well as financial need for compensation. Wrongful death is one example of a very serious injury and potential for higher financial compensation. A personal injury claim involving high medical costs, potential fatalities, significant missed time from work, and long-term or permanent disability will result in a higher potential award. If minor injuries were suffered and property damage was not severe, the claim will be for a lower amount. An attorney can provide a detailed estimate of how much your claim may be worth based on the details surrounding your case.

Find out if you have a case we could help you win Speak To a Specialist Do I Need To Hire A Personal Injury Attorney? No one is required to hire a personal injury lawyer. However, there are many reasons why you should consider hiring one. First, Florida’s law of comparative negligence means that every party involved in a personal injury case will be motivated to prove that they were not responsible for the accident. Without legal representation, you are vulnerable to being found negligent, even if you were not. Some insurance companies, even your own, may also be motivated to save as much money as possible in the claims process. A personal injury attorney can explain your rights to you and can also advocate for you. They are experienced in determining damages, understanding the long-term potential impact of an injury, and in helping you to receive the maximum amount of compensation you are entitled to receive.
