Miramar
Personal Injury Attorney

Miramar’s growing number of shops, restaurants, apartment complexes, and grocery stores-many of them just east of I-75-means there are more entertainment, residential, and shopping options for the city’s residents and visitors. However, this growth also means more opportunities to be injured in an accident, from a slip and fall in a Publix store to a traffic accident along Miramar Parkway.

If you were injured in an accident in Miramar, a Miramar personal injury lawyer from Phillips | Tadros, P.A., can discuss your situation with you and explain your legal options.

Recoverable Damages in a Miramar Personal Injury Case

Most injured victims want to know if they have a case, and if so, how much they can recover for their losses. Working with a personal injury lawyer can help you understand exactly how much financial recovery you might receive.

First, we look at your financial and non-financial losses, as well as how severe your injuries are and how long your expected recovery time will be. We also look at how your injuries will affect your life in the long run.

You will likely have damages that have a fixed dollar amount (economic) and ones that do not (non-economic). Economic damages may include:

• Current and future medical expenses (such as emergency care and ongoing treatment)
• Lost wages, benefits, bonuses, and tips
• Reduced or lost earning capacity (especially if your injuries prevent you from going back to the same job you had before the accident, or going back to work at all)
• Property damage
• Other injury-related expenses

Non-Economic Damages

We also consider how damages with no fixed dollar amount have affected your overall health and well-being since the accident. You may be familiar with the term “pain and suffering,” the widely known loss that falls into this category. However, there are other non-economic damages that injured parties can recover, such as:

There may be other damages that apply in your case. Having a Miramar personal injury attorney on your side helps ensure that you pursue all possible opportunities for recovery.

You May Be Able to Recover Wrongful Death Damages

Unfortunately, some families lose a loved one unexpectedly in personal injury cases. This loss can be devastating, leaving relatives unsure how to recover from their family member’s death, especially if the deceased person contributed to the household’s expenses.

We offer our sincere condolences for anyone in this situation. If someone else’s negligence caused your loved one’s death, our team can help you file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover expenses like:

• Medical bills
• Funeral, burial, and cremation services
• Loss of the decedent’s financial contribution
• Other end-of-life expenses

Florida law designates the family members who can pursue this action and governs the process. We can review these laws with you during a free consultation.

• Meet with you privately to learn more about your accident and injuries

• Assess your damages and assign a financial value for compensation
• Identify the liable party or parties
• Prove that the liable party’s negligence caused your accident and injuries

Florida Personal Injury Cases Have a State-Imposed Deadline

Once you have learned more about your options, you must decide at some point what to do next, and you have a limited time to do it. Deadlines can also change, depending on the kind of lawsuit being filed. Generally, parties must file their compensation lawsuit within two years of the accident date, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a). If you are filing a wrongful death case, you have just two years, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).

You also generally have two years to file a medical malpractice lawsuit or a nursing home abuse lawsuit (Florida Statutes § 400.0236). We can tell you if any exceptions apply to your case or if you have a longer or shorter time to take action.

It takes time to build a strong case, so we urge you to start as soon as you can. If you miss any deadlines, you will likely lose your chance to sue for damages.
