Being involved in a car accident can leave you emotionally unsettled, physically injured and financially devastated. Depending on the severity of your auto accident, you might consider filing a lawsuit against the at-fault person. If you choose to file, it’s crucial to understand how auto accident lawsuits work and what factors are involved when determining your case's worth.

Comparative Negligence In Florida Car Accident Cases

Suppose the responsible driver was entirely at fault for your car accident. In that case, the outcome is usually predictable: the other driver, through their insurance carrier, will pay to compensate you for your losses, which include your medical bills, lost wages and other losses. However, if a plaintiff is partly at fault for the crash, Florida follows a “pure comparative fault” rule. In this case, the jury considers the total dollar amount of the plaintiff’s damages and the percentage of fault that belongs to each party.

What Is The Worth Of An Auto Accident Injury Case?

How much you can recover after an auto accident depends on the specifics of your case. But generally, Florida guarantees the right of those who have genuine car accident injury cases to pursue financial compensation or damages to recover losses associated with suffering an injury. Damages in car accident lawsuits are classed into three categories: economic, non-economic and general.

Economic damages refers to compensation for the financial losses an injury victim suffers. This usually includes medical bills and lost wages that stemmed from the victim’s inability to work. The non-economic damage is a little similar as it’s also intended to compensate the injured party for a loss. The last type of damages, general or punitive, differs a little from compensatory damages as their main purpose is to punish the negligent party for their negligent actions.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident in Melbourne, it’s best to act fast in order to avert the possibility of having your case ruled out. Florida sets four years as the time limits to file your car accident lawsuit and failure to file a lawsuit within this timeframe may result in your case being dismissed. Additionally, delaying a lawsuit can give the at-fault driver or their employer time to destroy evidence against them.
