Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case in Duval County?
In Duval County, a personal injury case can be valid if you can show that another person or entity acted negligently – and their carelessness directly caused your injury. If your injury resulted in medical expenses, time away from work, or other losses, you may have grounds for a claim. A personal injury lawyer familiar with Duval County courts can help assess your case and determine its value.
What types of damages can I recover in a Duval County personal injury claim?
Damages in Duval County personal injury cases are generally placed in three categories: economic, non-economic, and punitive. You may be entitled to recover economic damages like emergency room bills, ongoing treatment costs, lost income, and property damage. Non-economic damages commonly involve compensation for pain, emotional distress, or loss of enjoyment of life. Â
If your case involves exceptional negligence or intentional harm, punitive damages may be considered. Punitive damages are relatively rare and subject to specific Florida legal standards. These are intended to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.
What is the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Duval County?
Florida law generally allows a two-year statute of limitations from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Duval County. Even with this window of time, it’s recommended to start the claims process as soon as possible after the accident. Acting quickly also helps preserve evidence, such as traffic footage or witness statements from the scene. The longer you wait to file your claim, the more difficult it becomes to negotiate a fair settlement.Â
Do Duval County personal injury cases usually go to court?
Most personal injury cases in Duval County are settled outside of court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, if the insurance company will not provide a fair settlement, your Duval County personal injury lawyer may recommend that the case should be filed with the Fourth Judicial Circuit Court, which serves Duval County.
Whether a case proceeds to trial depends on factors like disputed liability, the strength of evidence, and the willingness of both sides to settle.
What should I bring to my consultation with a Duval County injury lawyer?
For your consultation, do your best to bring medical records from your healthcare provider, accident reports from the authorities, photos of the scene or injuries, insurance documents, and any witness contact information. If you are unable to locate these documents, your attorney will provide guidance on how to obtain them.Â
Having local records and location-specific details helps your attorney understand the context and build a case that aligns with procedures in Duval County courts.

Plantation Personal Injury FAQs
When Is It the Right Time to Call a Personal Injury Lawyer?
The right time to call is as soon as possible after your accident. There are many reasons why you need to begin the legal process as quickly as you can. The legal process may even begin without you, with many calls from the insurance company trying to either rush you or to pressure you to give a statement. They may try to catch you unaware and trick you into compromising your legal rights. Hiring an attorney could prevent this from happening.
Â
Equally important, as time passes from the time of your accident, the evidence that could help your claim can become harder to find. People might quickly clear the scene of the accident, and you may lose the ability to contact witnesses. The witnesses that you have may begin to lose their recollection of what they saw. When you hire a personal injury lawyer, they will get to work immediately to gather the evidence before it is lost.
Â
Calling a lawyer to get started on your case is a crucial step in the legal process. Knowing that you have someone on the job with the experience and tenacity to fight for you can give you at least some peace of mind during an undoubtedly difficult time.
How Do Insurance Settlement Negotiations Work?
An insurance claim is just like any other negotiation. You have a number in mind for what you think that you should receive for your injuries, and the insurance company has a much lower number in mind for what it wants to pay. Your insurance claim begins when your Plantation personal injury attorney files a demand letter with the insurance company. This is when the adjuster goes to work to try to save money for their bosses.
The insurance adjuster may outright deny your claim or question liability. They may come back with a settlement offer. When the number seems low, and it will, know that this is just their opening offer. Your Plantation injury attorney will likely reject the offer and respond with your own demand.
Eventually, you will lower your number, and the insurance company will raise theirs, and you could meet somewhere in the middle. This is a time-honored dance that personal injury lawyers have been doing with insurance companies since the advent of courtrooms. Even when you seem very far apart from the insurance company, most cases eventually will settle.
What Happens After I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Filing a personal injury lawsuit is an early part of the claim process. Most cases will never go far enough to see the inside of a courtroom. Statistically speaking, a vast majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court. However, if your case does make it to court, you should expect going into it that the trial process may take one to two years to complete. The legal system is far from rushed, as courts and judges have busy schedules and full dockets.
In the short term, you can expect motions and attempts to obtain evidence. Many people associate a lawsuit with a trial, but that only happens after many months of the nuts and bolts of the legal system. The phase of your case that will take the longest time is discovery. This is when the two sides obtain evidence that the other has in their possession. At this point, you may even need to sit for a deposition.
Filing a lawsuit will not cut off settlement negotiations. As was previously mentioned, most cases will settle without a trial. If anything, litigation may give each side more incentive to settle. The two parties usually continue negotiating right up until the point when the jury is seated.
What Evidence Can Prove My Injury Claim?
Negligence is the basis of every personal injury claim. When you file a lawsuit in court, you have the burden of proof. It will be up to you to show that what you say is more likely than not to have happened. You need to back your claim up with evidence.
Â
Your Plantation personal injury lawyer will work to gather things that can backup your side of the story, including:
— Witness statements from people who say your injury or accident
— Pictures of the scene of your accident
— Security camera footage
— Expert witness testimony that could reconstruct the accident
— Maintenance logs of the area or vehicle involved
— Medical records that can help prove damages
Â
These are things that can be difficult to get on your own and piece together to tell the story of what happened. Injury lawyers in Plantation, Florida, know how to both get the evidence and use it to prove that someone else was responsible for your accident.
What if I Cannot Work Due to My Injuries?
Your personal injury damages include both economic and non-economic compensation. Economic compensation aims to pay you back for the actual money that you lost. This includes bills that you paid and earnings you lost. This specifically pays you back for lost wages from your job when you are unable to work. Since you would have worked, this is money out of your pocket.
Lost wages in a personal injury settlement are much broader than you think. Of course, this includes the time that you have already missed from work. It also encompasses time that you will miss from work in the future. You do not need to outright miss work to receive compensation for this. For example, if you were qualified for a promotion but cannot get it now because your injury limits you in the type of work that you can do, you can get compensation for the reduction in your earning capacity.
Lost wages are often a very contested part of your personal injury claim because you can bet that the insurance company will see things differently to try to lower its bill. They may dispute what your possible earnings are or use a lower rate of inflation to calculate what they may be in the future.
