Personal injuries can disrupt your life physically, emotionally, and financially. This FAQ guide provides answers to common questions about personal injury cases in Miami, helping you better understand your rights and options.
A personal injury case arises when someone is injured due to another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. Common types of personal injury cases include:
Car accidents.
Slip-and-falls.
Medical malpractice.
Product liability.
Cruise ship injuries.
Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor.
Document the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage with photos or videos.
Gather contact information from witnesses.
Avoid speaking to insurance companies without legal advice.
To have a valid case, you must show:
The at-fault party owed you a duty of care.
They breached that duty through negligence or intentional acts.
This breach caused your injuries.
You suffered damages, such as medical expenses or lost income.
Florida’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury. Failing to file within this time frame may bar you from recovering compensation.
Depending on the case, you may recover:
Medical expenses (past and future).
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity.
Pain and suffering.
Emotional distress.
Property damage.
Punitive damages, in cases of gross negligence or intentional harm.
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you’re partially at fault, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re 20% responsible, your recovery will be reduced by 20%. If you are more than 50% at fault, you may not be entitled to compensation.
Seeing a doctor immediately can help mitigate injuries, but also documents your injuries, which can be crucial for your personal injury claim.
Pain and suffering are non-economic damages that compensate for physical and emotional distress. Factors influencing the calculation include:
The severity of your injuries.
The impact on your daily life.
The length of recovery time.
A contingency fee means your lawyer is paid only if your case is won or settled. This helps ensure you won’t face any upfront costs, and your attorney is motivated to secure the best possible outcome.
Strong evidence may include:
Medical records.
Photos or videos of the accident scene and injuries.
Witness statements.
Police or incident reports.
Expert testimony, such as from doctors or accident reconstructionists.
Be cautious of initial settlement offers, as they may not fully cover your damages. Consult with an attorney to evaluate whether the offer is fair. Your lawyer can negotiate for a higher settlement if appropriate.
To succeed, you may need to prove:
A dangerous condition existed on the property.
The property owner knew or should have known about the condition.
They failed to fix or warn about the hazard.
Product liability claims hold manufacturers, distributors, or retailers accountable for defective products. These cases may involve:
Manufacturing defects.
Design flaws.
Failure to warn about risks.
The timeline depends on factors like the complexity of the case; the willingness of the insurance company to negotiate; whether the case goes to trial. Some cases resolve in months, while others may take years.
While not required, having an attorney may:
Help you navigate the legal process.
Maximize your compensation.
Handle communication with insurance companies.
Build a strong case through investigation and evidence gathering.
