While some injury accidents are caused from unavoidable factors, many are caused as a direct result of someone else's negligence. Car, truck, RV, and boating accidents may all be caused by speeding, operating the (recreational) vehicle while distracted or fatigued, or drinking while driving; drowning, dog bites, and slip and fall accidents may be a result of a property's owner failure to maintain a property to a safe condition or post adequate warning; and a dangerous product can cause consumer harm when designed or manufactured defectively.

When another person's negligent action causes your accident, and if you suffered an injury, you have the right to take legal action by filing a personal injury lawsuit.

A personal injury lawsuit is a type of civil action that's filed by a victim (plaintiff) against an at-fault party (defendant). The action is filed to recover monetary damages for the plaintiff's harm. During the course of the lawsuit, the plaintiff will have to prove that the defendant did something negligent, and that the plaintiff's injuries would not have occurred but for the negligent action. All personal injury claims must be filed within four years time in Florida.

If the plaintiff can prove the liability of the defendant, then the plaintiff will be entitled to damages in an amount that is agreed upon in a settlement, or that is ordered by a jury. Types of damages that are available in a civil action in Florida include:

• Medical bills
• Future medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Loss of earning capacity/future lost wages and benefits
• Pain and suffering

Additionally, your damages amount can be reduced if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident. A Deerfield Beach personal injury lawyer can help you understand the inner workings of a personal injury suit and your right to damages.
