Recoverable Compensation In A Melbourne Personal Injury Claim
We investigate every incident, getting to the bottom of how the injury happened, who caused it, and the full value of the losses you’ve suffered. This is key to getting the compensation our clients need and deserve.
The compensation available in each case depends largely on the facts of that particular claim. Some of the most common types of losses we recover compensation for include:
- Medical expenses
- Ongoing care costs and future care expenses
- Long-term care facility or home health care
- Home renovation, if necessary for accessibility
- Wheelchairs, lifts, and other similar products
- Lost wages
- Future lost income and benefits
- Property damage, such as after a car accident
- Pain and suffering damages
- Other related costs
In our experience, personal injury victims tend to underestimate the value of their case. For this reason, we recommend discussing your claim with one of our attorneys before agreeing to a settlement with the insurance company. We can help you understand the full scope of your losses and fight for a fair settlement.

How A Melbourne Personal Injury Attorney Can Help With The Claims Process

- Filing an insurance claim on your behalf

If needed, we will take your case to court in pursuit of a fair and full settlement.
How Our Melbourne Injury Attorneys Prove Negligence
At the center of almost every personal injury claim is a person who acted in a negligent manner and caused an accident. To collect compensation for your injuries and other damages, we must prove their negligence. This can only happen if we can identify evidence to support four elements:
- They had a duty to protect you from unreasonable hazards or harm.
- They did not uphold this duty and acted in a careless, reckless, or unreasonable way.
- Their actions caused you to suffer injuries.
- Your accident and injuries led to financial damages.
The evidence available to prove negligence and liability can vary, but we understand what to look for and how to identify the most effective evidence to support your case.
Some of the most common forms of evidence we use to prove negligence include:
- Police reports from Melbourne PD
- Accident reports from the business or others on the scene
- Witness statements
- Surveillance video or video from others on the scene
- Smartphone photos of the scene or other images of hazards
- Your medical records and other documentation of your injuries and damages
Some evidence may be time-sensitive, so it’s helpful to start on your case as soon as possible. Contact Anidjar & Levine so we can begin our investigation right away.
Florida’s Statute Of Limitations On Personal Injury Lawsuits
Under the state’s statute of limitations, we generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit against the party who caused your injuries.
We also need to act quickly to ensure we meet any other deadlines that might apply in your case. For example, if you suffer injuries in a city park, you could have only a few weeks to act and hold the government agency financially responsible for the hazard you encountered and the losses it caused.
