Your regular daily needs and monthly expenses do not stop because you sustained injuries in an accident. You might also incur additional costs, making it tempting to accept the first settlement offer you receive. However, doing so could mean you inadvertently undervalue your case and accept a smaller settlement than you deserve.
A little patience can help maximize your settlement because it will allow the full range of your damages to reveal themselves after a thorough investigation. Our team will help you explore other options for maximizing your case, including tapping into your insurance policy for added compensation if the at-fault party’s insurance doesn’t sufficiently cover your losses.
Know What Compensation You Can Recover
You could request the following recoverable damages after an accident:
- Completed and anticipated medical care
- Lost income such as wages and benefits
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage or destruction
- Physical disability or impairment
- Pain and suffering
- Mental and emotional anguish
You could easily miscalculate the value of your injuries and their related expenses on your own. In addition, you could overlook some damages altogether. Our team will value your losses accurately and fight to maximize your insurance payout.
Do Not Put Your Personal Injury Settlement at Risk
When you request compensation from the at-fault party in a personal injury case in Florida, state law determines the deadline for filing your potential lawsuit. If the statute of limitations expires, your right to compensation expires with it. Depending on the type of injury you suffered and its outcome:
- The personal injury statute of limitations is generally four years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a)
- The medical malpractice statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b)
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d)
- The nursing home abuse statute of limitations is generally two years, according to Florida Statutes § 400.0236
Complying with the statute of limitations is one of the simplest ways to ensure your case gets the attention it deserves. It also provides you do not lose your right to compensation.
