Personal injury law in Florida serves to protect individuals who have been harmed due to the negligence or misconduct of others. Understanding this area of law is crucial for anyone residing or working in Florida.
What Constitutes Personal Injury?
In Florida, personal injury encompasses a wide range of incidents, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, and more. Each case is unique, but they all share the common element of causing harm or injury to an individual.
The Role of Negligence
Negligence is a key concept in personal injury cases. To prove negligence, one must establish that the responsible party failed to uphold a reasonable duty of care, resulting in harm to the plaintiff. This duty of care can vary depending on the circumstances of the case.
Understanding Comparative Fault
Florida operates under a comparative fault system, which means that even if the injured party shares some responsibility for the accident, they may still be entitled to compensation. However, the amount of compensation awarded can be reduced based on the degree of fault assigned to each party.
