When Can You File a Personal Injury Claim in Miami?
To pursue a personal injury claim, the following generally must apply to your case:
Someone else’s negligence caused your injury
Another person, business, or organization had a responsibility to act reasonably but failed to do so, causing your accident and injuries.
You suffered losses because of your injury
Your injury resulted in damages such as medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, or other related losses.
You are within the legal deadline
In most cases, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit.
The other party was at least partly responsible
Florida follows a comparative negligence system. You may still have a claim even if you were partially responsible for the accident, although your compensation could be reduced based on your share of fault.
There is evidence to support your claim
Documents such as accident reports, medical records, photographs, witness statements, or other evidence can help show how the accident happened and who was responsible.
7 Steps to Take After an Injury Accident
The actions you take after an accident can affect your health and your ability to pursue compensation. Consider taking the following steps:
- Seek medical attention: Your health should be your top priority. Get medical treatment as soon as possible, even if your injuries seem minor, and follow your doctor’s recommendations.
- Report the incident: Notify the appropriate party about the incident, such as a property owner, employer, business, or law enforcement agency, depending on how the accident occurred.
- Gather evidence: If you are able, take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Collect contact information from any witnesses.
- Keep records of your expenses and treatment: Save medical bills, receipts, pay stubs, repair estimates, and other documents related to your injury and financial losses..
- Be careful when discussing the accident: Avoid speculating about what happened or making statements that could be interpreted as accepting responsibility before all the facts are known.
- Use caution when dealing with insurance companies: Insurance adjusters may contact you shortly after an accident. Before accepting a settlement or providing a recorded statement, consider speaking with an attorney.
- Consult a Miami personal injury lawyer: An experienced attorney can evaluate your case, explain your legal options, and help protect your rights throughout the claims process.
The Personal Injury Claim Process
The personal injury claims process consists of several steps. At Bernstein & Maryanoff, our process is as follows:
- We provide a free case review where we help you understand the strength of your case, possible legal outcomes, and your legal rights and options.
- If we take on your case, there will be a thorough investigation process. This process involves identifying responsible parties, collecting evidence, speaking with involved parties, collecting expert testimony, and putting together the elements that prove fault.
- We will calculate all your economic and non-economic losses.
- We will then negotiate with insurance companies and other legal parties to secure a fair settlement.
- If a settlement cannot be reached, we’re prepared to represent you in court.
If this is your first time pursuing a personal injury case, we help simplify the legal process, will stay on top of important timelines and deadlines, and will build a case rooted in evidence and fact so that you can focus on healing and recovery.
Miami Personal Injury Claims: What We Can Get You
When negotiating with insurance companies and other involved parties, our attorneys can help you recover essential compensatory damages and, if relevant, punitive damages.
Economic damages involve financial losses related to medical bills and expenses, lost wages and income, property damage, and other calculable losses.
Non-economic damages refer to the incalculable losses, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and scarring and disfigurement.
In rare cases, we may pursue punitive damages. These damages are designed to punish a defendant for their actions
