Types of Recoverable Damages in a Personal Injury Case

There are different types of damages you and our lawyer can pursue in a personal injury case:

Economic Damages

Economic damages are those that can be easily calculated. These are quantifiable costs based on receipts and other documentation. They include:

Past and future medical expenses
Past and future lost wages
Property damage, such as replacing a damaged vehicle
Vocational rehabilitation

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages are not as easily calculated. They are difficult to quantify as they don’t have specific dollar figures attached to them. Instead, courts will decide how much should be awarded based on the facts surrounding the accident and its impact on your life. These damages include:

Pain and suffering
Mental anguish
Emotional distress
Loss of consortium (the inability to engage in certain activities with your spouse)
Diminished quality of life

How Can a Coconut Creek Personal Injury Lawyer Help?

It can be difficult to navigate the legal process alone, especially when you’re recovering from an injury. A Coconut Creek personal injury lawyer can help you pursue the settlement you deserve by handling all aspects of your case, including:

#1. Gathering Evidence

Our attorney can gather all evidence (eyewitness accounts, police reports, and medical reports) needed to prove that another party was at fault for your injuries and can present them during court proceedings if necessary.

#2. Filing Your Claim

Our attorney can file a lawsuit against the responsible party on your behalf to seek compensation for your injuries and losses.

#3. Negotiating Settlements

Our lawyer can negotiate a reasonable settlement amount based on the severity of your injuries and other damages.

#4. Representing You in Court

If negotiations fail, our lawyer can represent you in court, fighting against the liable party on your behalf.

How Long Do I Have to File My Personal Injury Lawsuit?

Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) provides that you must file a lawsuit for personal injury within two years of the date of the accident. If you do not file your lawsuit within this time period, you will lose the chance for compensation even if you have evidence proving fault.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

There are many different types of personal injuries that we handle. Some of them include:

Car Accidents – These types of accidents can cause serious injuries, such as head trauma and spinal cord injuries. They may also cause internal organ damage and broken bones. These types of accidents are especially common when someone is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or if they are speeding while driving on the highway.

Motorcycle Accidents – Motorcycles are smaller than cars and trucks, making them easier to get hit by other vehicles in traffic. A bike may also flip over when hit by another vehicle, which can cause serious head injuries, broken bones, or burns from being thrown off the bike onto asphalt or concrete surfaces during impact with other vehicles or objects.

Dog Bites – Injuries involving dogs can be traumatic on a lot of levels. Dog bites can be very painful and even dangerous. Untreated dog bites can become infected, aggravating the injury and making it worse. If a dog has bitten you, take the necessary steps to seek medication and pursue damages.

Slip and Fall Injuries – Slip and fall injuries are common in homes, stores, and businesses across America every day. They often lead to serious injuries such as broken bones or concussions. Property owners must maintain their properties with care and safety in mind. If you fell while working at a job site or managing someone’s property, you might be able to sue them for damages in court.

Wrongful Death Claims – When someone dies due to another party’s negligence, their surviving family members can file a wrongful death suit and seek compensation. The lawyers at our firm can help you through the legal side of this difficult time.
