To successfully file a personal injury claim, you and your attorney will have to gather and present one or more critical pieces of evidence to prove that you were injured due to another party’s negligence. For example, if surveillance footage shows a driver speeding, losing control of his vehicle, and colliding with a pedestrian, then the driver will most likely be found at fault for the accident. Aside from surveillance footage, other types of evidence that may be useful in pedestrian accident claims are as follows:
If you and your attorney can prove you were injured due to another party’s negligence, you should be eligible for compensation, which can help you recuperate from the economic and non-economic damages you’ve incurred as a result of your accident.
Importantly, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims in Florida is two years. This means that accident victims are required to file their personal injury claims within two years of the date the incident occurred. That said, the sooner you speak with our firm, the sooner we can begin fighting for the compensation you need to get back on your feet again.
