Unfortunately, there is no one answer to how long a personal injury case can last. It depends on the case and how quickly acceptable compensation can be obtained. The process includes filing a complaint, filing interrogatories and answers, following up with experts regarding the case and damages, depositions of witnesses, experts, and parties involved, and negotiating a settlement or taking the case to trial. From injury to resolution, a personal injury case can take anywhere from a few months to several years. At AttorneysAt.Law, P.A, we work as diligently as possible to achieve a desirable outcome for our clients as quickly as possible.

In the state of Florida, all personal injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations. This means that you will only have a few short time to take action against the negligent party. Once the statute of limitations expires, you may be barred from recovering compensation. For this reason, we encourage you to get started today. The statute of limitations varies depending on the matter and circumstances and often ranges from two (2) to four (4) years after an incident. If your claim isn’t initiated before the deadline (statute of limitation), the court will most likely dismiss your case. Not only do you need to be concerned about the statute of limitations, but there may be other requirements necessary to preserve or initiate your claim. In any action where you are injured by the negligence of another, please call our office immediately to learn how to preserve your claim. Even if your injury occurred years ago, please call so that we can discuss with you your rights.

You are much more likely to receive the compensation you are due when a lawyer is representing you. A Florida personal injury lawyer can provide their experience and guidance on how to get all the compensation you are entitled to. This compensation may include medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earnings, and pain and suffering. With the right strategy and the use of evidence and experts, a lawyer at AttorneysAt.Law, P.A. will be able to guide you through the process and fight to make sure you’re awarded the full compensation you deserve.

It depends, there are many different kinds of personal injury lawsuits and compensation amounts can vary widely. However, most accident victims can seek compensatory damages for their injuries. This includes both economic and non-economic damages.

Economic damages might include:

• Hospital bills and other medical expenses
• Loss of income and loss of future wages due to an inability to work
• Costs for physical therapy and rehabilitation therapy

Non-economic damages might include:

• Pain and suffering
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Emotional injuries

In wrongful death claims, a plaintiff may be able to seek additional damages, including funeral and burial expenses. A Florida personal injury attorney will examine your case and will advise you about the types of damages for which you may be eligible.
