People who are injured in have many rights. First of all, you are entitled to hire a lawyer to represent you. If there is a person or a company that is the legal cause of the accident, you have a right to damages under our civil justice system. As we have spoken about in other blogs, injury cases have three primary elements: liability (fault), damages and causation. If the person you are suing is liable and the injuries you sustain are caused in the accident, then you are entitled to damages. Damages, under Florida law, generally are medical bills, lost wages (or lost earning capacity), and what is generally termed “pain and suffering.” There are time limitations on bringing suits in Florida and depending upon the claim these periods vary. There are many rights that one has following an accident and it is important to seek legal advise on how to proceed. At Drucker Law Offices, I can help you if you are the victim of an accident.
