Largo Personal Injury Lawyers

Establishing Liability in a Personal Injury Case

Every personal injury case hinges on one question: Who was at fault?

Under Florida law, liability can extend to anyone whose negligence contributed to the accident, not just the person directly involved. 

Common examples include:

• Careless or intoxicated drivers.
• Trucking companies or employers who fail to train or supervise workers.
• Property owners who ignore known safety hazards.
• Manufacturers that release unsafe or defective products.
• Municipalities that fail to maintain safe roadways or signage.

Proving fault requires investigation, expert analysis, and a deep understanding of Florida negligence law, all of which our team brings to each case we handle.

Damages and Compensation

Compensation in a personal injury claim is meant to make victims financially and emotionally whole again. Recoverable damages may include:

• Medical expenses for hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, and long-term care.
• Lost wages and reduced earning capacity caused by time away from work or permanent disability.
• Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and diminished enjoyment of life.
• Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement.
• Loss of consortium for spouses or family members.
• Punitive damages, available in cases of gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Our attorneys work with economists, doctors, and life-care planners to calculate losses accurately and present the full scope of your damages.

Florida’s Statute of Limitations

Florida law gives most victims two years from the date of injury or death to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. However, certain circumstances, such as delayed discovery of injury, cases involving minors, or claims against government entities, can alter this deadline.

Because missing the statute of limitations can permanently bar recovery, it’s vital to consult an attorney as soon as possible. Early action allows your lawyer to preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and build a stronger case.
