What is My Premises Liability Accident Case Worth?
No two cases are the same. The value of your case depends on how serious your injuries are and how they’ve impacted your life. As a result, a minor slip and fall might result in lower compensation than a severe injury that leads to long-term health issues. However, you can rest assured that Shaked Law Personal Injury Lawyers will get you the compensation you deserve.
Our lawyers will consider the following when evaluating your case:
- The severity and type of your injuries
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress or trauma
- Permanent disabilities or long-term impairments
- Impact on your daily life and activities
- Whether you share any fault for the accident
- The availability of insurance coverage
The best way to get an accurate estimate of what your case is worth is to talk to an experienced premises liability attorney. Shaked Law Personal Injury Lawyers offer free consultations and can help you understand your rights.
What Kind of Damages Are Available to Accident Victims?
The losses you suffered after being injured on someone else’s property are called damages. Damages typically take the form of financial compensation and fall into one of three main categories: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages.
Economic damages cover actual financial losses caused by your accident. These damages are meant to reimburse you for money you’ve had to spend or lost due to your injury. This category typically includes:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earnings
- Property damage.
Non-economic damages cover the pain and suffering you’ve experienced due to your injury. These losses are harder to put a dollar amount on, but they are just as important. This category typically includes:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Disability or disfigurement
Punitive damages are not meant to compensate you; instead, they are meant to punish the property owner for extreme negligence or reckless behavior. These are only awarded in cases where the responsible party acted intentionally or with gross negligence–for example, if a property owner knew about a dangerous condition for a long time and refused to fix it.
The amount of damages you can recover depends on how serious your injuries are, how they’ve affected your life, and who is responsible for your accident. Shaked Law Personal Injury Lawyers fight for the maximum compensation possible to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially.
How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Premises Liability Accident Lawyer?
The cost of hiring a lawyer is one of the first concerns our clients report during our free consultations. We love to deliver the good news that you don’t pay anything upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our fees are a predetermined percentage of the amount recovered on your behalf through settlement or verdict. If we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing at all.
Hiring a lawyer shouldn’t be stressful or expensive, especially when you’re already dealing with medical bills and lost wages. Our contingency fee setup allows you to get top legal representation without worrying about costs. It also means we’re motivated to fight for the maximum compensation possible–because we don’t get paid unless you do.
Can I Recover Compensation If I’m Being Blamed for a Premises Liability Accident in Florida?
If you’re being blamed for your accident, don’t panic. Just because the property owner or their insurance company says you’re at fault doesn’t mean you can’t recover compensation. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still get compensation even if you’re partially at fault–just at a reduced amount.
In Florida, if you are found to be partially responsible for your accident, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are awarded $10,000 in damages but found to be 20% at fault, you would still receive $8,000. If you are more than 50% at fault, you may not be able to recover any compensation.
Even if you think you may share some responsibility, you may still have a case. The best way to find out? Talk to an experienced premises liability attorney.
What Causes Most Premises Liability Accidents in Florida?
Premises liability accidents happen when property owners fail to keep their spaces safe. From slips and falls to falling objects, these accidents can cause serious injuries. But what are the most common causes? Let’s take a look:
- Slippery or uneven floors
- Poor lighting
- Broken or unsafe stairs and handrails
- Cluttered or obstructed walkways
- Falling objects
- Negligent security
- Swimming pool hazards
Property owners, landlords, businesses, and even government agencies are responsible for keeping their spaces safe. If they fail to fix hazards or warn visitors, they may be held liable for injuries.
Suppose you or a loved one suffered an injury because of an unsafe property condition. You may have a premises liability case. Shaked Law Personal Injury Lawyers fight for accident victims to get the compensation they deserve. Call us today for a free consultation, and let’s discuss how we can help.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Premises Liability Accident in Florida?
If you’ve been injured on someone else’s property, you don’t have forever to take legal action. In Florida, you generally have 2 years from the date of your accident to file a premises liability lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations, and once it passes, you may lose your right to seek compensation entirely.
Even though you have up to 2 years, it’s best to start your case as soon as possible. Waiting too long will make it more difficult to locate evidence and gather reliable witness testimony. Starting early gives you time to build a strong case without rushing against a deadline.
