The Legal Concept of Negligence in Pace, FL Personal Injury Claims

A vast majority of personal injury claims are based on the concept of negligence. It simply means that the at-fault party owed you a duty of care and they breached it. If the breach of duty is found to be the primary cause of the accident, they can be held liable for the resulting injuries, deaths, and property damage.

For example, a store owner owes a duty of care toward their customers, vendors, salespersons, and other parties who might visit the store. If they fail to maintain their store in a reasonably safe condition, and if someone gets injured as a result, the store owner’s actions – or lack of taking any action – can be termed ‘negligence’.

In some cases, you are not required to prove the at-fault party’s negligence. For example, dog bite claims are based on the concept of strict liability – not negligence. What it means is that if you are bitten by a dog, you are not required to prove that the dog owner was negligent. You merely have to prove that you were bitten by the dog and you were injured as a result.

Importance of Timely Medical Care After an Accident in Pace, FL

There are two important reasons why you should get medical care immediately after an accident. First, getting proper medical care is the best way to improve your chances of making a full recovery. The more you delay, the longer your recovery period is likely to be. Moreover, failing to get medical care in a timely manner can lead to complications that could potentially be life-threatening.

Second, failing to get medical care immediately after the accident can also hurt your chances of getting the compensation you deserve. If there is a noticeable gap between the time you got injured and the time you got treated, the insurance company might raise questions about your claim and argue that you got injured somewhere else.

To avoid these problems, you should seek medical attention on the same day if possible, or at least within a day or two after the accident. There are several hospitals near Pace where you can get treated for your injuries. These include the Santa Rosa Medical Center in Milton, HCA Florida West Hospital in Pensacola, Ascension Sacred Heart in Pensacola, Baptist Hospital in Pensacola, and Gulf Breeze Hospital in Gulf Breeze.

Determining the Value of a Pace, FL Personal Injury Claim

The value of your claim primarily depends on whether your injuries are serious in nature and whether they might have any impact on your earning capacity and your ability to enjoy life like you used to prior to the accident.

For example, if you suffer a fracture, you might make a full recovery within a month or two. In this case, you can recover damages for medical expenses, rehabilitation (if needed), lost earnings, and pain and suffering.

On the other hand, if you suffer a spinal cord injury and are paralyzed as a result, you can recover damages for current and future medical expenses, cost of rehabilitation, cost of long-term care, lost earnings, loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and loss of consortium.

What Is the Statute of Limitations for Filing a Personal Injury Claim in Pace, FL?

Under Florida law, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim is set at four years.

How Our Pace, FL Personal Injury Attorneys Can Help You Recover Your Rightful Damages

Once you choose us to represent you, we will take the following steps to ensure you get the justice and compensation you deserve.

  • Explaining your legal rights and the options available for you to get the compensation you need.

  • Interviewing eyewitnesses and gathering the evidence needed for your claim.
  • Getting reports and testimonies from experts to support your claim.
  • Calculating the value of your claim.
  • Communicating with your own as well as the at-fault party’s insurance company.
