How Much Are You Owed in Compensation After a Florida Personal Injury Claim?
Being injured in any type of accident can be traumatizing and leave victims with physical and emotional injuries. Additionally, personal injury accidents often result in costly financial losses for the victims involved. While there is no set amount of money that one should expect to be awarded from a personal injury claim, with the help of a trusted lawyer, you can get help calculating how much you can expect to retain in damages. The amount in compensation you may collect is calculated by collecting evidence regarding the following losses as a result of the accident:
- Medical expenses: If you were injured in an accident, you may incur costly medical bills. You should be compensated for the money you have had to pay to allow you to recover from injuries caused by your accident.
- Lost wages: You should be compensated for all present and future wages you have lost out on due to being unable to work as a result of the accident and your injuries.
- Property damages: If your property, like a car or bike, was damaged in your accident, you should receive compensation for the cost to repair or replace it.
- Pain and suffering: You should be compensated for all the physical and emotional trauma you have endured due to the accident.
A personal injury lawyer can help you negotiate a fair settlement amount in addition to helping you calculate the amount you should expect in damages from a personal injury claim in Florida.
Proving Liability in a Florida Personal Injury Claim
Another important step in filing a personal injury claim is to provide evidence to hold the at-fault party liable for the actions that caused your accident. To prove liability in a personal injury claim, you must provide evidence of the four elements of negligence:
- The liable party owed you a duty of care
- The liable party breached the duty of care
- The breach in duty of care led to your accident
- You suffered a loss as a result
