In addition to serving as Orlando bankruptcy lawyers and guiding clients through family law matters, our attorneys have handled many personal injury cases. Injuries can arise in a variety of situations, but legal claims based on accidents usually aim to prove another person’s negligence. Under Florida law, to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit alleging negligence, you must show that the party who allegedly caused you harm owed you a duty of care, and that they breached the duty through some act or omission. You must then prove that the breach caused an accident in which you sustained quantifiable damages. If you suffered injuries in an accident, it is essential to explore your options as soon as possible because any action to pursue compensation must be filed within four years of the date of the accident.
