Proving Fault Is Required For a Personal Injury Accident 

Proving that someone else’s negligence or recklessness caused or contributed to your accident is necessary in order to file a personal injury claim in the state of Florida. If no one is to blame for your accident, then there is no claim to file.

Proving someone else is at fault can be difficult; negligence can be demonstrated in several different ways depending upon the accident. For example, if a property owner failed to maintain a safe premises, then that can be considered negligent. Driving over the legal speed limit can be considered reckless. Not following safety precautions for boating is also considered negligent.

How Damages Are Awarded When There Is More Than One Party Responsible For An Accident In Florida

If you bear some level of responsibility for your accident, you may still recover compensation for your injuries and other losses. However, the damage award you may receive will be negatively impacted.

When more than one party is responsible for an accident in Florida, the state follows what is known as “pure comparative negligence rules”. Under these rules, the compensation you are eligible to receive will be reduced by an amount that directly reflects your share of blame for the accident. 

The following is an example of how this works: if it is determined that you are 20 percent responsible for the accident, then the compensation you may recover for your injuries and other losses will be reduced by that amount — 20 percent. So a damage award of $40,000 will be reduced by 20 percent — $8,000 — for a final damage award of $32,000.

Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims In Sunrise, Florida

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Should I speak with the insurance company if I’m in an accident?

How much time do I have to file a claim for a personal injury accident in Florida?

Florida’s statute of limitations — the legal time frame for filing a claim in the state’s civil court system — is four years from the date of the accident. This is a strict legal deadline. If your personal injury claim is not filed within this four-year window, the Florida court will dismiss your case. Once your case is dismissed, then you will be unable to recover any compensation for your accident injuries and other losses. If you are concerned that you may be unable to file your personal injury claim before this deadline runs out, it is best to speak with an experienced personal injury accident attorney. In rare circumstances, the court will extend the deadline.

I was hurt in an accident — how do I know if I have the grounds for a personal injury claim?

If you have been hurt in an accident and are considering filing a personal injury claim, you must be able to demonstrate that your accident was caused by another person or entity’s negligence. Proving negligence can be quite challenging and, in many instances, the at-fault party will argue that you are at least somewhat responsible for your accident. The personal injury attorneys at Lawlor, White & Murphey offer a free case evaluation whereby an experienced personal injury attorney will assess the merits of your accident claim and answer your questions so that you can make the most informed decision possible regarding your accident.
