How Much Is My Case Worth? 

This question depends on several factors. First, what is your injury? How much are your medical bills? How much are your lost wages? How has the accident affected your daily life, your job, your family? How clear is the liability? Does the other driver have adequate insurance coverage? Do you have adequate insurance coverage?

While the specific amount of compensation an injury victim can recover depends widely on the specifics of their case and how their injuries have impacted their life, the types of damages the injured party can pursue remain the same across personal injury cases. 

The main categories of compensation in a personal injury case include:

• Economic damages: This provides compensation for the financial losses an injury victim suffers that are directly related to their injuries, such as the cost of your medical expenses or missed days at work.
• Non-economic damages: Non-economic damages compensate for the more abstract, non-financial suffering associated with their injury, like pain and suffering, or mental anguish.
• Punitive damages: Punitive damages are designed to punish particularly reckless or intentional behavior and are less commonly awarded.

Frequently Asked Injury Law Questions

How Do I Know if I Have a Personal Injury Case? 

Each case is different, and there are several different considerations that need to go into each potential claim. These include the sum of your medical bills resulting from the injury, whether it was clear if the other party was at fault for the accident, and other factors. Our Panama City injury lawyers can help you navigate these questions and discuss with you the viability of your case.

How Long Do Personal Injury Cases Take? 

Generally speaking, personal injury cases last anywhere from six to eighteen months. Most people need to receive medical treatment before a doctor can say how an injury has and will affect them. The attorney typically cannot work on resolving a case until a clear picture of the client’s injuries are present.

If It Takes So Long, Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney Now? 

Because the insurance companies have attorneys and claims adjusters working for them from the day you were injured. Unfortunately, the insurance company wants to see you make as many mistakes as possible because this decreases the value of your claim.

If you give a taped statement without knowing what the insurance adjuster is really trying to do, you may be unaware that your words can decrease the value of your case.

Why Is Insurance So Important in a Case? 

We want you to understand how much is really at stake. Insurance companies are in business to make money. Their goal is to settle your case with you for the least amount possible. They train their adjusters to do what they can to minimize your case value because it is in their best interest. We do what we can to protect you because we work for you and your best interests.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim? 

According to Florida Statutes section 95.11(3)(a), you have two years to file a personal injury claim before the statute of limitations ends and you lose your right to do so.

There are some exceptions that can change this time period so it’s important to speak to an accident attorney in Panama City as soon as possible.
