Homestead Serious Injuries
Unfortunately, accidents are not predictable, and some can lead to serious injuries. The worst part about serious injuries is that most aren’t even the victim’s fault. Many accidents are caused by someone else’s negligence. Serious injuries run the gamut – from loss of limb, head trauma, and severe neck and back injuries, to broken bones and disfigurement – but all can be devastating to the victim and their loved ones. Sustaining a serious injury can be stressful, if not life-changing. Aside from pain and suffering, serious injuries can cause hardships and financial loss for the whole family. If you’ve suffered from a serious injury, it’s important to know that you have rights. The party at fault should be held responsible for their reckless or negligent behavior, and you should be compensated to the fullest extent. A Homestead serious injury attorney can help you obtain the compensation that you deserve.
What should you do if you’ve been seriously injured? First and foremost, you should seek medical attention. Before filing claims, or seeking any sort of legal action, take care of yourself! Make sure your injuries are being properly tended to, and in a timely manner. Speaking of time, next, you should know that the state of Florida has a “statute of limitations,” which means that there’s a set deadline for the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit in civil court against the person or company that might be legally at fault for your serious injuries.
Under Florida's statute of limitations, you generally have four years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit for negligence in circuit court. If you don't file within the appropriate timeframe, the court could refuse to hear your case. For injury claims against a city, county or state government, the time limit is usually even less than four years to provide notice.
