Fulfilling the Burden of Proof
When someone is injured in an accident, in order to recover financial compensation, they are required to satisfy the burden of proof. This means that they are legally obligated to prove that they were injured as a direct result of another party’s negligence. Unfortunately, this is often far easier said than done, which is why you cannot afford to proceed with just any personal injury attorney. You need one who has helped countless clients in the past.
To satisfy the burden of proof, you and your attorney will have to use various forms of evidence that can definitively prove the origin of your injuries. Some of the best forms of evidence are as follows:
- A copy of the police report filed at the scene of the accident
- Medical documents detailing the extent of your injuries
- Witness statements corroborating your claim
- Pictures of the accident or its aftermath
- Videos of the accident occurring
Recovering Compensation
As long as you and your attorney are capable of fulfilling the burden of proof, you should recover financial compensation for two types of damages–they are known as economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages deal with the monetary cost of an injury. Generally, these are easier to calculate than non-economic damages. Some examples of economic damages include:
- The cost of surgeries
- Lost wages due to the injury
- The cost of overnight stays at a hospital
- The cost of rehabilitation
On the other hand, non-economic damages deal primarily with intangible damages caused by an accident. Some examples of non-economic damages include the following:
- Pain and suffering caused by the accident
- Emotional trauma or distress
- The loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of consortium
- Loss of companionship/guidance
Statute of Limitations in Florida
The statute of limitations is the timeframe in which all those who’ve been wrongly injured will have to take legal action against the negligent party who caused their injuries. In the state of Florida, in most cases, the statute of limitations is two years, meaning that you will have two years from the date of your accident to sue the party responsible for your injuries. If you wait any longer than two years, there is a very good chance that you will permanently lose your right to sue.
That being said, when someone is injured on property owned by the government, they will have even less time to file what is known as a Notice of Claim. Rather obviously, when it comes to personal injury claims, time is of the essence, which is why you simply cannot wait to file yours. The sooner you speak with our firm, the sooner we can begin pursuing the financial compensation you deserve and need to heal. All you have to do is pick up the phone and give us a call today.
