Cases We Handle

Types of Personal Injury Claims

The firm represents individuals injured by the negligent or wrongful conduct of others across the most common categories of personal injury cases in Florida.

Auto Accidents
Car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, and pedestrian accidents. Florida is a no-fault state with mandatory PIP coverage, and PIP-related rules govern medical treatment, billing, and recovery.
Slip and Fall
Premises liability claims against property owners, retailers, and businesses. Notice of the dangerous condition is the central element under Florida Statute 768.0755. When the danger is violent crime rather than a physical hazard, those premises cases are covered on our dedicated negligent security page.
Medical Malpractice
Misdiagnosis, surgical errors, birth injuries, medication errors, and other forms of negligence by healthcare providers. Subject to a separate two-year statute of limitations and a pre-suit investigation requirement.
Wrongful Death
Claims under the Florida Wrongful Death Act when a death is caused by another's negligence or wrongful act. Brought by the personal representative of the decedent's estate.
Workplace Injuries
Workers' compensation claims and third-party liability cases when an injury at work is caused by someone other than the employer (defective equipment manufacturers, subcontractors).
Product Liability
Injuries caused by defective products. Strict liability claims against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers under Florida product liability law.
Florida Law

Rules That Shape Every Florida Injury Case

Florida personal injury law has changed meaningfully in recent years. These rules govern when and how a claim can be filed and how much can be recovered.

01
Two-Year Statute of Limitations
For negligence claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, the limitations period is two years. Claims that accrued before that date generally remain subject to the prior four-year period. Wrongful death and medical malpractice have separate two-year periods. Missing the deadline almost always ends the case regardless of the merits.
02
Modified Comparative Negligence
Under Florida Statute 768.81 (effective March 24, 2023), a plaintiff found to be more than 50 percent at fault for their own injury is generally barred from recovery. At 50 percent or less, damages are reduced in proportion to the plaintiff's share of fault. Allocation of fault is fact-intensive and is one of the central battles in many cases.
03
No-Fault Insurance and PIP
Florida is a no-fault state. Drivers are required to carry $10,000 of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which pays a portion of medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault. Treatment must begin within 14 days of the accident for PIP eligibility, and PIP must generally be exhausted before pursuing certain claims against an at-fault driver.
04
The Serious Injury Threshold
To pursue a claim against an at-fault driver for non-economic damages (pain and suffering), an injured person must meet Florida's serious injury threshold under Florida Statute 627.737, which generally requires a permanent injury, significant scarring or disfigurement, significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, or death.
05
Damages Caps in Limited Circumstances
Punitive damages are capped under Florida Statute 768.73 at the greater of three times compensatory damages or $500,000 in most cases, with higher caps for intentional wrongful conduct. Compensatory damages for pain and suffering are not capped in ordinary negligence cases.
