Boca Raton Personal Injury Attorneys

Various forms of compensation may be available in a personal injury claim. There are two primary types:

Economic Damages

Economic damages cover direct financial losses, such as:

• Lost earnings
• Property damage
• Medical expenses
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Current and future treatment costs

Non-Economic Damages

Non-economic damages cover indirect, subjective losses, such as:

• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement

Yes, it’s possible to recover punitive damages in a personal injury claim—but only in specific, limited circumstances. In rare cases involving especially egregious misconduct, the court may also award punitive damages. Unlike other types of damages, punitive damages are solely intended to punish the defendant and deter similar behavior in the future, as opposed to compensating the victim directly for losses.

No matter the severity of your injuries, our goal is to secure sufficient compensation for all your current and future care needs. Our lawyers can calculate the full scope of damages to pursue a comprehensive settlement that covers all losses incurred in the accident. As accomplished litigators, we never hesitate to seek punitive damages at trial if necessary to bring offenders to justice and achieve a just verdict.

Most personal injury claims are settled out of court. However, litigation may be necessary in cases involving liability disputes or bad-faith insurer tactics. While it can be frustrating to have your claim extended by a trial, litigation could mean the difference between recovering a full settlement and walking away with less than you need.

At The South Florida Injury Law Firm, we strive to reach swift resolutions without compromising on the maximum compensation our clients deserve. With over 100 years of combined experience and millions recovered for clients across South Florida, you can trust our trial attorneys to represent your best interests in and out of the courtroom.

Yes, it’s possible to recover damages even if you are partially at fault for an auto accident. Florida operates under a modified comparative negligence system, which allows victims to recover compensation as long as their share of the liability is 50% or less (known as the “50% bar rule”).

It’s important to understand that the total compensation awarded will be reduced by your percentage of the fault. For example, if you are 30% at fault for an accident totaling $10,000 in damages, you may only recover $7,000 ($3,000 less than the original value). Our firm can assess every avenue for financial recovery to maximize the recoverable compensation available to you.

If you slipped on unmarked wet floors at Mizner Park, you may be entitled to compensation in a slip-and-fall accident claim. To successfully recover damages, you must prove that the negligent party knew or should have known about the dangerous condition. Our attorneys can help you collect evidence to support your claim, such as accident reports filed with management, photos of the hazardous area, medical records, expert testimony, and witness statements.
