Satisfying the Burden of Proof

To recover compensation in a personal injury claim, you and your attorney will have to gather and present evidence to satisfy the burden of proof. Simply put, you must prove that you were injured as a direct result of another party’s negligence. As long as you can do so, you should receive compensation to help you deal with the economic and non-economic damages you’ve incurred as a result of your accident.

Economic Vs. Non-Economic Damages

When pursuing compensation in a Florida personal injury claim, damages are generally divided into two main categories: economic damages and non-economic damages. While both are intended to help make an injured person whole again, they compensate for very different types of losses.

Economic damages are the most straightforward. These are the tangible, out-of-pocket financial losses that can be calculated with relative precision. Examples include past and future medical expenses, such as hospital bills, surgeries, physical therapy, prescription medications, and ongoing rehabilitative care.

Economic damages also commonly include lost wages if your injuries forced you to miss work, as well as loss of future earning capacity if your ability to work has been permanently impacted. Property damage, such as vehicle repair or replacement costs after an auto accident, also falls squarely into this category. In short, if the loss can be documented with bills, receipts, or pay stubs, it is likely considered economic in nature.

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are far more personal and subjective. These damages compensate for the very real, but less easily quantifiable, ways an injury affects your daily life. Pain and suffering, emotional distress, mental anguish, loss of enjoyment of life, and inconvenience are all common examples. These damages recognize that an injury can disrupt far more than just your finances. A skilled personal injury lawyer can help clearly demonstrate how both economic and non-economic damages apply to your specific situation and fight for compensation that truly reflects the full impact of your injuries.

Statute of Limitations

In most cases, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Florida is two years. This means that accident victims generally have two years from the date of their injury to sue for compensation. That said, there are some circumstances that may shorten or extend the statute of limitations for a given claim, so it’s always best to simply file your claim sooner, rather than later. Our personal injury lawyers stand ready to fight for the full and fair compensation to which you may be entitled.
