How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim?

What Compensation Can I Recover From a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
In Florida, the damages available in personal injury lawsuits are generally divided into three distinct categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive. The type and amount of damages you will be able to recover will depend on the circumstances of your specific case. Need more information? Our personal injury lawyers are standing by to answer your questions.
Economic Damages
Economic damages are paid to compensate you for the financial costs associated with your injuries. Economic damages are awarded to put you back in the financial position you would have been in if your accident had never happened. Examples of economic damages that may be awarded in a personal injury case include those for:
- Medical bills
- Rehabilitation
- Prescription medication
- Property damage
- Nursing care
- Income lost during recovery, and
- Disability and reduced earning capacity.
Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are paid to compensate you for injuries that may not necessarily have a direct financial cost. These injuries are often subjective and quite difficult to value. As a result, an award of non-economic damages can vary significantly from one case to another and often depends on the experience of the personal injury lawyer handling the case. Non-economic damages may be awarded to compensate you for:
- Pain and suffering
- Anxiety and depression
- Disfigurement and scarring
- Loss of sexual relationships, and
- Loss of enjoyment of life.
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages are not available in all Florida personal injury cases. Since punitive damages are solely intended to punish a defendant for his or her outrageous conduct, courts limit the circumstances under which they can be awarded. You may be entitled to punitive damages if the defendant in your case acted with “intentional misconduct or gross negligence.”
