How does Florida injury law differ from other states?
Some differences in Florida injury law include the following: Florida has a four-year statute of limitations for personal injury cases. There also is a cap on the amount of noneconomic damages such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and disfigurement that an injured party can collect in certain situations.
If an accident is my fault, will I be sued?
Depending on the facts of the situation, you can be sued for accidents that you cause through your negligent or intentional actions. There are certain thresholds for elements such as bodily function, disfigurement, or scarring that must be met.
Can I lose my house if I am sued in Florida?
Florida has a strong homestead exemption that prohibits the forced sale of a residence. It is wise to engage in asset protection planning and to consult an attorney about what can happen in your particular situation.
Can a homeowners policy help if I am being sued for a personal injury accident in Florida?
Depending on the type of coverage and type of accident, a homeowners policy may cover certain claims or lawsuits. Speak to your insurance carrier about obtaining liability coverage for your home.
