What Compensation Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Case?

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for the following:
  • Medical Expenses: Covers all necessary treatments, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medications, therapy, and ongoing care.
  • Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to your inability to work, as well as future earning potential if your injuries impact your career long-term.
  • Pain and Suffering: Monetary relief for physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident. Florida law allows significant compensation for non-economic damages.
  • Property Damage: Reimbursement for personal property damaged in the incident.
  • Emotional Distress: Compensation for psychological impacts such as anxiety, depression, or PTSD resulting from the injury.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases of extreme negligence, the court may award punitive damages to penalize the wrongdoer and prevent future misconduct.
At Graves Injury Law Firm, we thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case to ensure no detail is overlooked and work to secure the full compensation you’re entitled to under the law.

Common Types of Personal Injuries

Personal injuries can range from minor to life-altering. Common injuries include:

  • Slip and Fall Injuries: Broken bones, sprains, and head injuries from unsafe conditions on someone else’s property.
  • Workplace Injuries: Severe injuries resulting from unsafe working environments or faulty equipment.
  • Medical Malpractice: Injuries caused by negligence or errors in medical care, such as misdiagnosis or surgical mistakes.
  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Often caused by falls, accidents, or blunt force trauma, resulting in long-term physical and cognitive impairments.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Leading to partial or complete paralysis, these injuries often require extensive and ongoing care.
  • Burns and Scarring: Resulting from fires, chemical exposure, or accidents, these injuries can cause physical and emotional pain.

No matter how severe your injury, our team is here to guide you through the legal process and fight for the compensation you need to move forward.

How to Prove Negligence in a Personal Injury Case

In a personal injury case, the injured party must prove that someone else’s negligence caused their injuries. This requires demonstrating:

  • The other party owed a duty of care (e.g., maintaining safe premises or providing proper medical treatment).
  • The duty of care was breached through negligence or wrongful action.
  • The breach directly caused your injuries.
  • The injuries resulted in measurable damages.

Common evidence in personal injury cases includes:

  • Incident reports and photographs of the scene.
  • Medical records documenting your injuries.
  • Witness statements.
  • Expert testimony to validate your claims.

At Graves Injury Law Firm, we gather all necessary evidence and build a compelling case to hold the responsible party accountable.

      Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Cases
      How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Florida?

      Florida law generally allows up to four years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. Missing this deadline could prevent you from seeking compensation.

      What Happens If I’m Partly at Fault?

      Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover damages even if you share some fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

      How Much Does It Cost to Hire Graves Injury Law Firm?

      We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, so there’s no risk to you.

      What Compensation Can I Recover?

      Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, emotional distress, and, in some cases, punitive damages.
