Why Select Fuentes & Berrio to Represent You in Your Personal Injury or Wrongful Death Lawsuit?  

The principal reason why accident injury victims and families of fatal accident victims choose a personal injury law firm to handle their claim is to exercise their legal rights under Florida law. In Florida, there are special “Personal Injury Laws” created by the Florida Legislature designed to protect injury victims’ legal rights. These rights make sure that victims have a legal path to receive justice and obtain just monetary compensation. These cases are typically highly defended by both the defendants (the person who caused the injury or death) and their attorneys.

How to Prove Negligence in Your Florida Personal Injury Claim and Win Your Case! 

To recover full compensation as an injured accident victim, you are must prove that the “at-fault” party behaved negligently, and those negligent behaviors caused the accident, injuries, and other damages. In Florida, the theory of negligence consists of three parts:

Duty of Care

In Florida, drivers, individuals, property owners, and businesses owe other people a “Duty of Care” to avoid injuring other people. In a personal injury case, the question is, “how much care was reasonably expected?” Therefore, your personal injury attorney must prove that there was a “Duty of Case” present. For example, all drivers are required to drive sober. 

Breach of Duty

Once your personal injury attorney has proved that the person or business that caused the injured owed the victim a Duty of Care, the next element is proving the at-fault party acted with negligence and breached the “Duty of Care.”

Finally, your personal injury attorney must prove the Breach of Duty caused the accident and resulted in injury, death, and other damages. For example, if the victim has a back injury, the victim’s attorney must prove the injury occurred because of the accident and isn’t simply a pre-existing condition. 

Understanding how the personal injury claims process works in the State of Florida and retaining a hardworking Florida Personal Injury Attorney will increase your chances of winning your case and obtaining proper financial compensation for your injuries and other losses.

What Type of Damages Could Be Awarded in a Florida Personal Injury Case

Damages are defined under Florida Law as the “economic and non-economic costs” accident victims suffer when injured or killed by another. Non-economic damages are frequently called “pain and suffering.” Economic damages include expenses related to the accident, such as medical bills or property damage. 

Personal injury victims may seek compensatory damages by filing a claim and/or by filing a personal injury lawsuit with the courts. The process begins with a “legal action” that demands a specified amount that Plaintiff demands Defendant to pay to be “made whole.” The process is overseen through either the Federal or Florida civil court system.

Under Florida Law, there are several forms of damages that a Plaintiff may seek. However, the courts and Florida Law can limit the amount and type of damages a Plaintiff may receive. This is why personal injury victims should seek advice and counsel from a qualified personal injury attorney licensed in the state of Florida.   

Florida personal injury lawsuits ordinarily seek the following types of compensatory damages:

• Medical Expenses.  
• Future Medical Care. 
• Property Damage. 
• Lost Income.  
• Emotional Distress. 
• Pain and Suffering.  
• Loss of Relationships. 
• Punitive Damages.  

Not all personal injury cases in Florida qualify to pursue “Punitive Damages.” “Punitive Damages” are a separate monetary award that is awarded to Plaintiffs to punish the Defendant so severely that they will not behave similarly in the future.
