Injured Victims Need Compensation to Pay their Bills and Support their Family

Under Florida law, injured victims have the right to seek compensation for the full value of their damages, including for any non-economic losses. With that being said, reality can sometimes prove to be more challenging. Most personal injury cases are handled by insurers—and they want to pay out the absolute minimum financial support to injured victims. Our South Florida personal injury lawyers can help. Your settlement or trial verdict may include financial compensation for: 

  • Property damage; 
  • Emergency room care;

  • Loss of earning power; 
  • Pain and suffering; 
  • Mental distress;

Personal Injury Claims in South Florida: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Florida?

Florida Statutes § 95.11 sets a two year statute of limitations for personal injury claims. Prior to a 2023 reform, there was a four year statute of limitations. However, a tort reform bill cut it in half to align with the majority of U.S. states. In Florida, you generally have four years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you typically lose the right to pursue legal action for your injuries. Be proactive: Speak to a South Florida personal injury lawyer right away after a bad accident. 

Is there a Cap on Personal Injury Damages in Florida?

No—at least not for the most part. In Florida, there is no cap on economic or non-economic damages in personal injury cases, meaning you can seek full compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, Florida does impose caps on punitive damages, typically limiting them to three times the amount of compensatory damages or $500,000, whichever is greater. A South Florida personal injury lawyer can help you determine the value of your case. 

What is Comparative Negligence (Proportionate Responsibility)?

Comparative negligence—also known as proportionate responsibility—is a legal principle that reduces the plaintiff’s compensation based on their percentage of fault in the incident. Under Florida law (Florida Statutes § 768.81), a modified comparative negligence standard applies. You can recover compensation for your injuries as long as you are not liable for 51 percent (or more) of your own accident. 

Can I Recover Punitive Damages in My South Florida Personal Injury Claim?

Yes. It is possible for injured victims to recover punitive damages in a South Florida personal injury claim. With that being said, these damages are awarded only in cases involving gross negligence or intentional misconduct. Punitive damages are intended to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future. To pursue punitive damages, you must demonstrate that the defendant’s actions were particularly egregious. A South Florida personal injury attorney can help. 

We Represent Injured Victims in South Florida Under Contingency Fee Agreements

A contingency fee agreement is a payment arrangement where the lawyer only receives a fee if they win the case or secure a settlement. The fee is a percentage of the awarded amount—meaning it fully aligns the lawyer’s interests with the client’s success. We represent injured victims in South Florida on contingency. There are no upfront costs or out-of-pocket expenses. If you do not get paid, we do not get paid. Your initial case review is free, confidential, and carries no obligations.
