How Can I Prove Liability in a Personal Injury Claim?

Suffering an injury isn't sufficient to recover the compensation you need for your recovery. Proving liability is a complex yet crucial part of any injury claim. Because the plaintiff bears the burden of proof in these cases, working with a lawyer is critical to proving that the defendant's negligence caused your injuries. 

To successfully establish liability, you must demonstrate the following elements: 

  1. Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic laws or yielding the right-of-way.
  2. Breach of duty. The defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as failing to maintain safe premises for patrons or running a red light. 
  3. Causation. The defendant’s negligence is the proximate cause of your injuries.
  4. Damages. You suffered compensatory harm (damages) as a result of the breach.

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

In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the accident. However, certain exceptions may apply in rare cases. Consulting an experienced injury lawyer is paramount to filing a timely claim within the appropriate deadline and maintaining eligibility for damages. 

What Are the Different Stages of a Personal Injury Claim?

Navigating a personal injury lawsuit can be tricky, especially while recovering from a serious accident. Our firm is committed to guiding your steps wisely while keeping you informed and up-to-date throughout your case.

Below is a general overview of what to expect during a personal injury claim: 

1. File a Lawsuit 

From completing the required forms to managing legal deadlines, we can help you file a lawsuit against the negligent party that outlines the details of your case and establishes legal standing.

2. Discovery Phase

During the discovery phase, both parties will exchange information and evidence related to the claim. Our attorneys can work diligently to gather critical evidence and build a compelling case on your behalf.

3. Negotiation or Mediation

Our attorneys are highly skilled at achieving favorable outcomes through strategic negotiation. We can fight for a fair settlement while protecting your rights against greedy insurers and powerful corporations.

4. Trial
