Types of Damages Available in a Florida Personal Injury Claim
Economic Damages
These are quantifiable financial losses including medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, lost earning capacity, property damage, and out-of-pocket costs related to your injury.
Non-Economic Damages
Florida law allows recovery for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium — the human cost of your injury that goes beyond financial losses.
Punitive Damages
In cases involving especially egregious or intentional misconduct, punitive damages may be available to punish the wrongdoer and deter future similar conduct.
Florida Personal Injury Law: Key Facts
Statute of Limitations: You generally have two years from the date of injury to file a claim in Florida. Missing this deadline means permanently losing your right to compensation.
Comparative Fault: Florida uses a modified comparative fault rule. You can recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, as long as your fault does not exceed 50%.
No-Fault Insurance: Florida requires drivers to carry PIP insurance that covers initial medical costs regardless of fault. For serious injuries, additional compensation may be pursued from the at-fault party.
