What is a personal injury claim?
A personal injury claim is a type of civil action that is brought by an injury victim (known as a plaintiff) against the party responsible for damages (known as the defendant). Typically, personal injury claims are filed against an at-fault party’s liability insurance provider. In a personal injury action, a plaintiff is responsible for proving that the defendant owed them a duty of care, breached the duty of care owed to them, and that the breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of harm. You’ll also need to prove that damages have been incurred.
Damages recoverable in a personal injury claim
When you bring forth a personal injury action, you can pursue compensation for the full value of the losses you have suffered. This includes compensation for your medical expenses and future medical expenses, compensation for your lost wages and loss of earning ability, compensation for any property damage costs you have incurred, and compensation for our pain, suffering, and emotional distress.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Claims in Hudson
- Do I need to have a lawyer?
- You are not required to hire a lawyer for your personal injury claim; however, hiring a lawyer is strongly recommended. An attorney can support you by building evidence, hiring experts, calculating your damages, and advocating for you throughout the process. An attorney will have a much better understanding of what steps you need to take to protect your interests, and will be able to provide you with knowledgeable advice that’s relevant to you. Your claim has a stronger chance of success when you work with an attorney.
- How much time do I have to file a personal injury claim?
- You should start the process of filing your personal injury claim as soon as possible. Under Fla. Stat. §95.11(5)(a), you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit for negligence. Florida shortened this deadline from four years to two in March 2023 under HB 837. If you miss the two-year deadline, you will likely be barred from recovering anything, no matter how strong your case is. Some claims run on different clocks, so speak with an attorney about the deadline that applies to you.
- What’s the difference between a claim and a lawsuit?
- Most of the time, a personal injury claim resolves without litigation. Instead of filing a lawsuit, a claim is filed against a liability insurance provider. It is usually only when negotiations fail with an insurance adjuster that a lawsuit is filed. A lawsuit is a last-resort option; lawsuits can be effective, but they are expensive, time-consuming, and emotional.
- If you have been injured in Hudson and are filing a lawsuit, you’ll need to do so with the Pasco County Clerk. Our lawyers work in Hudson and are familiar with the various institutions and people that will be important to building your claim.
