Jacksonville Personal Injury Lawyer

How Our Firm Builds Strong Cases

From our Jacksonville office, The Florida Law Group takes a methodical, trial-ready approach to every claim.

• We conduct in-depth investigations, gathering police reports, medical records, and digital data such as dash-cam or cell-phone evidence.
• We work with expert witnesses in medicine, engineering, and economics to support each element of negligence and damages.
• We negotiate aggressively but always prepare for trial, which often increases settlement leverage.
• We keep clients informed, ensuring they understand each stage of the legal process.

This disciplined approach has helped us recover more than one billion dollars for clients throughout Florida.

Who Can Be Held Liable for an Accident in Florida?

Liability in a personal injury case can extend far beyond the person who directly caused the harm. Under Florida law, any individual or entity whose negligence contributed to an injury may be responsible for damages.

Common examples include:

• Negligent drivers – Those who cause crashes through distraction, intoxication, or speeding.
• Employers or commercial carriers – Trucking companies, rideshare corporations, or delivery services that fail to supervise or train drivers.
• Property owners and managers – Businesses, landlords, and maintenance contractors who allow unsafe conditions to persist.
• Manufacturers and distributors – Companies that design or sell defective vehicles, equipment, or products.
• Government entities – Public agencies responsible for dangerous roads or inadequate signage (special notice deadlines apply).

Determining who may be held accountable often requires a detailed investigation, accident reconstruction, and expert testimony — resources our firm provides from day one.

Damages Available in Personal Injury Claims

Compensation in a Florida injury case is meant to cover the full impact of an accident, both economic and personal. Victims may be entitled to recover:

• Medical costs – Hospitalization, surgery, therapy, and long-term care.
• Lost income and future earnings – Wages missed during recovery and diminished earning capacity.
• Property damage – Vehicle repair or replacement costs.
• Pain and suffering – Physical pain, mental anguish, and reduced quality of life.
• Loss of consortium – Harm to a marital relationship or companionship.
• Punitive damages – In limited cases of reckless or intentional misconduct.

Our attorneys work with medical professionals and financial experts to quantify losses accurately and demand full compensation through settlement or trial.

Understanding Florida’s Statute of Limitations

Time is a critical factor in every injury case. Most Florida personal injury and wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the accident or date of death. 
However, there are exceptions:

• Delayed discovery – When an injury or defect is not immediately known.
• Minor victims – Claims involving children may have extended deadlines.
• Government claims – Lawsuits against cities, counties, or the State of Florida require advance written notice within a much shorter period.

Because missing a deadline can permanently bar recovery, early legal consultation is essential to preserve your rights and evidence.
