Personal Injury
If you are seriously injured, do not hesitate to contact a Port Charlotte personal injury attorney as soon as possible. An attorney skilled in injury litigation knows how to evaluate your case and can explain your options in language that you understand. If, after speaking to you, your lawyer decides to take your case, your lawyer can seek to recover the damages, costs, and expenses that you incurred from your personal injury by beginning the process of litigation. Litigation involves taking a case to court. Most cases are settled through negotiation and settlement prior to going to trial.Compensation you may recover from personal injury litigation In Florida may include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost earnings
- Any property that was damaged, such as your vehicle
- The cost of hiring someone to do household chores when you could not
- Any permanent disfigurement or disability
- Your emotional distress, including anxiety, depression, and any interference with/ your family relationships
- Any other costs that were a direct result of your injury
If you were careless, and your carelessness contributed to your injury, the amount you can recover is reduced in proportion to your carelessness under Florida comparative negligence law. In addition, Florida's joint and several liability rules place legal responsibility for paying your damages according to the proportion of fault of each person for your injury.
