What is Personal Injury Law and What Can You Expect As a Florida Injury Victim?
Under both Florida law and federal regulation, there are protections established for those who have been seriously hurt or injured due to the acts (or failure to act) of another. In fact, there is an overwhelming body of law dedicated solely to insure justice for those who have been the victims of personal injury.
State and Federal Personal Injury Law
Federal laws exist to protect those hurt on the job, particularly those who are hurt and injured while working on the job at a construction site. Federal law also heavily protects those who are hurt, injured, and sometimes killed in accidents involving big rigs, also known as commercial trucks or 18-wheelers.
Florida law is especially vigilant to control the actions of health care professionals (doctors, nurses, hospitals, clinics, laboratories, emergency medical services (EMS), and the like) in regards to medical error or medical negligence, known in the law as medical malpractice. Florida law also protects those who slip and fall or trip and fall, suffering serious harm or injury on another’s property (e.g., at a shopping mall, restaurant, hotel, office building, museum, hospital, school, apartment building, etc.).
Finally, both state and federal law heavily regulate accidents on the road involving car crashes or car wrecks, from having laws in place regarding speed limits and right of ways, to the responsibilities of parents for child-drivers, and the increased responsibility of common carriers (buses, cabs, etc.).
What can you expect?
As a victim of personal injury in Florida, you can expect the law to provide you with a variety of damage awards, including coverage of your medical expenses and related health care costs, as well as lost wages, past and future lost earning capacity, pain and suffering, etc.
You can also expect those responsible for your injuries to vigorously defend not only against being held legally liable for your injuries, but also to challenge the extent of funds that should be awarded to cover your money damages. These defendants will not only have trained insurance adjusters from their insurance companies fighting against the amount of your claim, but they will have veteran insurance defense attorneys challenging you at every turn.
It is therefore extremely important that you have dedicated and experienced legal counsel at your side as soon as possible after the injury occurs. No matter what type of serious injury you have suffered, if it was caused by the wrongful acts of someone else, you are likely entitled to money damages.
