Florida Personal Injury Laws
Florida law allows injury victims to file personal injury claims if their injuries were caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another party. However, several legal rules can affect your case:
Comparative Negligence
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule (as of 2023). If you are found partially at fault for your injuries, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are more than 50% at fault, you may be barred from recovering any damages.
Statute of Limitations
In Florida, personal injury victims generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering any compensation. It’s crucial to speak with an experienced Orlando personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after your accident.
No-Fault Insurance (Auto Accidents)
Florida is a no-fault state for auto accidents. This means that your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance will cover your medical expenses and lost wages—regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your injuries are severe, you may step outside the no-fault system and pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

Personal Injury FAQs
How much is my personal injury case worth?
The value of your case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, liability, insurance coverage, and how the injury affects your life. Our attorneys can provide a personalized case evaluation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if a fair settlement isn’t offered, we are fully prepared to litigate on your behalf.
How long will my case take?
Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more, especially if litigation is involved. We work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible without compromising results.
What if I can’t afford a lawyer?
You don’t pay anything unless we win. We operate on a contingency fee basis, so there are no upfront costs to hire us.
Can I still recover damages if I was partially at fault?
Yes—under Florida’s modified comparative negligence law, you may still recover damages if you are 50% or less at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.
