What Types of Damages Can Victims Who Are Injured in a Car Accident Claim in Florida?
Under Florida personal injury laws, car accident victims can demand compensation for economic damages and non-economic damages.
Economic damages compensate for the concrete, financial losses stemming from a car accident, including:
- Past and future medical expenses and lost wages
- Reduced earning potential
- Physical therapy
- Rehabilitation
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket expenses
Non-economic damages are more subjective. They’re designed to compensate victims for the personal losses they’ve suffered due to the accident. Examples of non-economic damages include:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Anxiety
- Depression
- PTSD
- Diminished quality of life
- Physical disfigurement and scarring
- Loss of consortium
Florida courts also have the authority to award punitive damages. Punitive damages are rare. They’re only available when the defendant’s acts were shocking enough to deserve punishment.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire a Car Accident Lawyer in Florida?
Most Florida personal injury law firms work on a contingency fee basis. When you hire our team at Zayed Law Offices Personal Injury Attorneys, you’ll sign a contingency fee agreement. Instead of paying up front, you’ll agree to pay us a percentage of your settlement or verdict.
That way, the cost of your legal representation depends completely on the amount of money your attorney recovers.
Am I Entitled To Recover Damages if Someone Is Blaming Me for Causing a Car Accident in Florida?
It’s possible, but your damages award will be reduced to the extent the defense proves you shared some fault. That means it’s important to avoid admitting fault after a crash.
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence law. If the defense proves you were more than 50% responsible for your injuries, you cannot recover damages. Otherwise, your damages will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
What Are the Top Causes of Car Accidents in Florida?
Even when you’re extremely careful, one careless driver on the roads can change your life forever. Understanding the cause of your crash will be the key to recovering fair compensation.
Some of the most common causes of Florida car accidents include:
- Distracted driving
- Failure to yield the right-of-way
- Tailgating or following too closely
- Speeding
- Fatigued drivers
- Lane departures
- Aggressive driving
- Unsafe passing
- Failure to check blind spots when changing lanes
- Illegal or dangerous turns
- Ignoring traffic signals
- Drunk driving or driving under the influence of drugs
- Vehicle defects
- Improper vehicle maintenance
- Road hazards
Regardless of why your accident occurred, our Florida car accident attorneys have the tools to help you determine who is responsible for your damages.

How Do I Prove Negligence After a Car Accident in Florida?
Negligence is a legal concept that means something similar to “careless”. Our lawyers will work to hold the responsible parties accountable by establishing:
- The defendant owed you a legal duty of care
- They did not exercise a reasonable amount of caution, so they breached that duty
- The breach of duty was the direct and proximate cause of the accident
- The damages you suffered as a result of the crash
Strong evidence will be critical to proving your case. Our attorneys in Florida have the skills, resources, and legal knowledge to find the evidence you’ll need to support your personal injury claim.
That evidence may include:
- Physical evidence from the accident scene
- Accident reports
- Medical records
- Traffic citations
- Footage from a dash cam or traffic light
- A vehicle’s electronic recording device
- Cell phone records
- Drug or alcohol test results
- Witness testimony
- Expert testimony
The sooner we start collecting evidence, the better. To get started, contact us today to start protecting your legal interests.
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit After a Car Accident in Florida?
Under Florida law, the statute of limitations governing most personal injury claims is two years. Starting from the date of the accident, you have two years to take legal action. Once two years pass, you can no longer pursue compensation for your injuries.
Exceptions to this law are extremely rare. Consulting an experienced attorney quickly is critical to protecting your interests. It never hurts to get legal advice–because most lawyers offer free case reviews so you can learn about your legal options without risk.
