Injury Attorney in Daytona Beach

Personal injury is the legal definition of any physical or emotional harm caused by someone else's negligence or wrongful actions. Common examples of incidents that could lead to such injuries include car accidents, slips and falls, medical malpractice, and defective products.

Here's the thing: if you've been hurt due to someone else's actions, you may have a personal injury case.

For a personal injury claim to be considered viable, you need to establish four key elements:

• Duty
• Breach
• Causation
• Damages

Let's break down these four elements.

First, the other party must have owed you a duty of care. Second, they must have breached this duty through their actions or inaction. Third, you need to prove that this breach directly caused your injury. Finally, you must demonstrate that you suffered damages as a result. If these elements are present, you likely have a strong case.

When it comes to damages, it all depends on the specifics of your case. That's why you should have it reviewed by an expert. That said, common damages we've helped our clients recover include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage
• Rehabilitation costs
• Future medical care
• Loss of consortium
• Punitive damages (in cases of egregious conduct)

Yes, there is such a deadline, known as the statute of limitations. In Florida, you generally have only two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. That is why we encourage you to act quickly and contact us for a free case evaluation to ensure you don't miss this important deadline.

Florida's personal injury laws are broad. The last thing you want is to settle for less or nothing at all because you didn't have the right legal support. That shouldn't be the case – contact us today for a free case review. We might also be able to represent you for free.
