A personal injury case is generally where you make a claim against someone else for negligence for causing or contributing to your injuries. In order to have a claim for personal injury, you generally have to prove that the property owner or manager had a duty to use reasonable care or to reasonably maintain their property, they failed to do so, as a result of their failure to maintain the property someone was hurt or killed, and the person or their family sustained damages.
Florida law limits the time you can file a claim if you are injured on someone else’s property. Generally, you have 4 years from the date of the incident. However, the time could be shorter. For example, if the Defendant is a government entity, you may be required to send a specific statutory notice to them within 3 years or the claim could be barred. If the injury occurred at a nursing home, the time could be limited to 2 years. Every case is fact specific and it is important to talk to an attorney as soon as possible to see if you can bring a claim for your injuries.

However, the benefit is that you are hiring someone with experience in this specific field, someone who understands the system and who analyzes settlements and verdicts as part of their career.

We try to gather all of the facts to present to the attorneys or adjusters for the insurance companies and to fight for compensation for our clients.
