Florida is a dangerous state for drivers. Usually, it ranks in the top ten most dangerous states for motor vehicle drivers and vulnerable road users. If you live here, you’ve probably experienced an accident at least second-hand once or twice. Unfortunately, most people will get into a car accident at least once in their lifetime, so it’s important to know how to handle things.
A slip-and-fall injury can occur pretty much anywhere. However, they most frequently occur in businesses, rental properties, parking lots, and parking garages. Slip and fall accidents are caused by hazards, such as broken steps, uneven flooring, spills, clutter, poor lighting, and more. It’s the responsibility of the property owner to keep their building up to code and reasonably safe from hazards. By not doing so, they’ll be liable for any accidents that occur as a result.
Motorcyclists are less protected the motor vehicle drivers, so their accidents tend to result in more severe injuries. A motorcyclist who’s well protected (wearing leather and a helmet) can walk away with more minor injuries. Someone who isn’t as protected, however, will likely have worse, more severe injuries. As a result, they’ll also have higher damages.
Unlike car accidents, truck accidents are frequently caused by a third party. While they can be (and are) caused by a driver, they can also be caused by the trucking company, the loaders, the truck rental company, and the manufacturer of the vehicle or a part used. In some cases, more than one party could be liable for the accident.
Bicyclists and pedestrians are referred to as “vulnerable road users” because they have little protection and are often overlooked by drivers. Cyclists and pedestrians are also often victims of road rage or aggressive driving. Drivers may get upset about having to wait for someone to cross the street or if a bicycle is moving slowly in front of them.
A catastrophic injury refers to a severe injury such as a traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, or internal injury. A catastrophic injury can occur as a result of any type of personal injury case. However, we group them separately because they often have much higher damages. For example, someone with a severe spinal cord injury may have millions of dollars in past and future damages.
Jones Law Group has been fighting for Tampa Bay’s personal injury justice for decades, and we want to help you. If you’re asking, “Do I have a case?” — we give you the answers below.
Florida is a no-fault state requiring Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. However, serious injuries allow victims to step outside PIP and pursue claims against at-fault drivers for full compensation.
Distracted driving, DUI, speeding, running red lights, improper turns, and aggressive driving are leading causes of car accidents in Florida.
Car accidents cause injuries ranging from whiplash and soft tissue damage to broken bones, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, and internal organ injuries.
Victims may recover damages for medical bills, rehabilitation costs, lost income, property damage, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and wrongful death in fatal collisions.

Florida premises liability law requires property owners to maintain safe conditions and warn visitors of known hazards. Negligent maintenance, wet floors, poor lighting, and uneven surfaces create liability.
Common hazards include wet or slippery floors, torn carpeting, inadequate lighting, broken handrails, uneven pavement, unmarked steps, and cluttered walkways in stores, restaurants, and businesses.
Slip and fall accidents result in injuries like broken hips, wrist and ankle fractures, head trauma, concussions, spinal injuries, torn ligaments, and soft tissue damage especially in elderly victims.
Compensation covers emergency care, surgery, physical therapy, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, permanent impairment, and wrongful death when negligence causes fatal falls.

Florida laws mandate helmet use for riders under 21 and requires insurance for those over 21 who forgo helmets. Lane-splitting and financial responsibility laws also affect motorcycle accident claims.
Speeding, unsafe lane changes, sudden stops, hazardous road conditions, mechanical defects, and negligent drivers cause numerous motorcycle accidents.
Motorcycle accidents result in injuries like road rash, fractures, spinal and head trauma, crush injuries, and emotional trauma such as PTSD.
Compensation is available for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain, suffering, disability, and wrongful death depending on the case’s severity.

Florida law requires drivers to yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and maintain safe distances when passing cyclists. Drivers must give cyclists at least three feet of clearance when passing.
Failure to yield, distracted driving, speeding in residential areas, running stop signs, improper turns, drunk driving, and inadequate street lighting cause most bicycle and pedestrian accidents.
These accidents cause severe injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, road rash, internal bleeding, amputations, and fatal injuries due to lack of protection.
Victims can pursue compensation for emergency transport, hospitalization, reconstructive surgery, rehabilitation, mobility aids, lost income, disability accommodations, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages.

Federal and Florida regulations govern truck driver hours, vehicle maintenance, cargo securement, and weight limits. Violations of these regulations often establish liability in truck accident claims.
Driver fatigue, inadequate training, distracted driving, mechanical failures, improper loading, speeding, aggressive driving, and failure to maintain blind spot awareness cause devastating truck accidents.
The massive size and weight of commercial trucks result in catastrophic injuries including traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, multiple fractures, amputations, and fatalities.
Multiple parties may be liable including drivers, trucking companies, cargo loaders, maintenance providers, and manufacturers. Victims can recover damages for medical care, lost earnings, disability, pain, and wrongful death.

Catastrophic injuries permanently alter a victim's life, preventing them from performing substantial gainful activity. Florida law recognizes the profound impact these injuries have on victims and their families.
Common catastrophic injuries include spinal cord injuries causing paralysis, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, amputations, multiple fractures, organ damage, and injuries requiring extensive rehabilitation.
These injuries require extensive medical intervention including emergency surgery, intensive care, long-term rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, home modifications, and ongoing personal care assistance.
Victims deserve compensation for lifetime medical expenses, in-home care, lost earning capacity, reduced quality of life, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and wrongful death in fatal cases.

Crush injuries occur in workplace accidents, construction sites, vehicle collisions, and equipment malfunctions. OSHA regulations and safety protocols exist to prevent these devastating injuries but are often violated.
Heavy machinery accidents, collapsing structures, defective equipment, inadequate training, lack of safety guards, and failure to follow lockout/tagout procedures commonly cause crush injuries.
Crush injuries cause severe tissue damage, broken bones, compartment syndrome, nerve damage, vascular injuries, infections, amputation necessity, organ failure, and life-threatening complications like crush syndrome.
Compensation includes emergency medical treatment, multiple surgeries, rehabilitation, prosthetics, psychological counseling, permanent disability benefits, lost wages, pain and suffering, and wrongful death damages for fatal crush injuries.

To give your claim the best chance of success, choose a personal injury law firm with the staff, resources, and caseload capacity to handle your case. Note that not all personal injury lawyers have the same level of expertise in every area of personal injury law. Find a personal injury attorney whose specialization aligns with your type of claim for the best results.
Typically, you also want a law firm with offices in your local area so it’s easier to meet with them. Plus, they will know which state and local laws may influence your case. Another factor to consider is whether or not the personal injury attorney has experience taking lawsuits to trial.
If you start out with a personal injury attorney who is prepared to go to court, you may be able to leverage that in settlement negotiations, as defendants generally want to avoid a trial. However, if you do have to pursue your lawsuit in court, you don’t want to have to worry about switching to a new personal injury attorney with trial experience.
After you are injured in a personal injury accident, you have a limited amount of time to present a case showing another party should be held liable for your damages. Under the current Florida statute of limitations, accident victims have 2 years to file a claim seeking compensation.
However, if you sustained an injury in a workplace accident and you plan on filing for workers’ compensation benefits, the deadlines are not the same as the cut offs for civil lawsuits. To maintain your eligibility, you need to report your accident to your employer within 30 days of the incident. There are some exceptions to this rule, like if your injury developed over time. However, you should still notify your employer as soon as possible.
Don’t give up hope of recovering compensation for your damages just because you were partially at fault for your accident. Florida legislators built some flexibility into personal injury statutes in recognition of how nuanced fault can be in these claims.
To keep things fair to both sides, Florida’s modified comparative negligence law allows an injured person who contributed to their own accident to seek compensation for their damages from the other negligent party, as long as they are 50% or less responsible for their own accident.
However, there is a caveat to this. The injured party can’t recover the full value of their damages if their negligent behavior also helped cause the accident. Instead, they can recover a portion of the amount, minus the percentage of fault they contributed. So if an accident victim was 10% responsible for their own injuries, they can only recover 90% of their damages.
