Damages Available in Florida Personal Injury Cases
Damages in personal injury lawsuits include compensation for lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and punitive damages.Â
Lost Wages
You have the right to pursue compensation for missed days at work and loss of future earnings. If you are left with permanent disabilities that prevent you from working, your lost wage calculation will include your projected lifetime lost wages based on your life expectancy and the type of work you performed.
Medical Expenses
We can help you get reimbursed for medical expenses you have already paid and pursue compensation for the future medical expenses you will likely pay throughout your lifetime based on your injuries. This includes the following:Â
- Doctor visitsÂ
- SurgeryÂ
- Physical therapyÂ
- Attendant careÂ
- Medical equipmentÂ
- MedicationÂ
- Diagnostic testsÂ
- RehabilitationÂ
- Nursing home care
Pain and Suffering
Pain and suffering, also known as non-economic damages, is compensation for losses that aren’t as easily quantified as medical bills or lost wages. For example, it includes the physical pain and discomfort you’ve experienced. It also includes emotional distress like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and the impact on your quality of life. Â
Pain and suffering can also include loss of companionship if your injury prevents you from spending time with loved ones or if your family member passes away because of someone else’s negligence. Â
While these aren’t as straightforward to calculate as medical bills, they are just as real and can be significant components of a personal injury lawsuit in Jacksonville Beach.Â
Punitive Damages
Punitive damages may come into play when you have clear and convincing evidence of intentional misconduct or gross negligence by the defendant. Punitive damages do not compensate you for actual losses like medical bills or pain and suffering but punish the defendant and deter others from similar misconduct. Â
State law limits punitive damages to $500,000 or three times your total compensatory damages, whichever is greater.
Wrongful Death Damages
Damages in a wrongful death claim can include compensation for the following:Â
- Your loved one’s medical expensesÂ
- Your loved one’s pain and sufferingÂ
- Funeral and burial costsÂ
- Loss of your loved one’s earnings and benefitsÂ
- Emotional suffering of individual family membersÂ
- Loss of companionship, guidance, comfort, training, and supportÂ
As skilled and compassionate wrongful death lawyers, our Jacksonville Beach attorneys can guide you through each step of this process. Â

Don’t Let The Statute of Limitations Run Out on Your Personal Injury Claim
Florida law sets specific personal injury deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, by which you must file a lawsuit. Most personal injury cases, including medical malpractice cases, have a two-year statute of limitations. Some exceptions do exist, which underscores the complexity of these legal guidelines. Â
It’s essential to act quickly after you’ve suffered injuries in an accident because you may miss the opportunity to seek compensation altogether if you wait too long to file your case. Hiring legal representation as soon as possible allows your attorney to gather relevant evidence while still fresh, building a stronger case.Â
