Cases We Handle
The Florida Law Group handles all types of personal injury cases, from everyday accidents to the most complex litigation. Our attorneys bring trial-tested experience and the resources to stand up to insurance companies, corporations, and negligent parties of every size.

- Catastrophic injury and wrongful death claims
- Medical malpractice and nursing home abuse and neglect
- Premises liability and slip-and-fall accidents
- Defective drugs, devices, and product liability claims
How Negligence Becomes Liability
Most people don’t think about “duty of care” or “breach of duty” until they’re injured — but these legal principles form the backbone of every case.
In Florida, negligence is established by showing that:
- A duty of care existed – for example, a driver’s duty to obey traffic laws or a hospital’s duty to follow safety protocols.
- That duty was breached – the driver was texting, the hospital ignored signs of infection, or a property owner failed to fix hazards.
- The breach caused harm – injuries that would not have happened if the duty had been met.
- Damages resulted – medical bills, lost income, pain, or permanent loss.
Understanding liability is critical. Without it, a claim cannot succeed. Our attorneys investigate the facts, gather evidence, and work with experts to build cases that clearly connect negligence to harm.
What Victims Should Know About Their Rights
After an accident, many victims don’t realize the rights Florida law provides. These rights can make the difference between financial ruin and recovery. Injury victims in Florida have the right to:
- Seek compensation for both current and future medical costs.
- Pursue lost wages and reduced earning capacity when injuries limit employment.
- Recover damages for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
- File a wrongful death claim if negligence causes the loss of a loved one.
- Challenge insurance companies that undervalue or deny legitimate claims.
These rights are time-sensitive. Florida’s two-year statute of limitations means waiting too long could bar you from recovery, even if your case is strong.
Damages and Compensation in Florida Injury Cases
Compensation in a personal injury case is not one-size-fits-all. The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injuries, the impact on daily life, and the long-term costs of care.
Broadly, damages fall into two categories:
- Economic damages – measurable financial losses, including hospital bills, rehabilitation costs, in-home care, lost wages, and diminished future income.
- Non-economic damages – intangible losses like pain and suffering, emotional distress, disability, and the inability to participate in life as before.
In rare cases, punitive damages may also be awarded if the conduct was reckless or intentional. Our attorneys pursue the full scope of damages available under Florida law to ensure clients are not left bearing the burden of another’s negligence.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have to File a Case in Florida?
Most personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years. Missing this deadline can prevent recovery, so legal action should begin quickly.
What If I Am Partially Responsible?
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are less than 50% at fault, you can still recover damages, but your award is reduced by your percentage of fault.
Do I Need a Lawyer if I Was Offered a Settlement?
Yes. Insurance companies often offer quick settlements for less than a claim is worth. An experienced lawyer can evaluate your damages and negotiate for full value.
Do All Cases Go to Trial?
Not all. Many resolve through settlement, but we prepare every case as though it will be tried. This approach ensures insurers take our clients’ cases seriously.
