When you're faced with a personal injury case in Florida, it's crucial to understand the legal landscape. The statute of limitations in Florida mandates that most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the incident. This time frame is critical in many cases; missing it can mean losing your right to seek compensation.
Our approach at MANEY | GORDON Trial Lawyers is not only about representing you in court. We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge. Did you know that beginning in early 2023, in Florida, modified comparative negligence rules apply? We have switched from a pure comparative negligence state that used to be more beneficial for the plaintiff to a modified comparative negligence state which is more favorable for the defendant. The old rules would mean you could still qualify for compensation even if you were 99% at fault for an accident. Now, however, these new rules state that a person, under most circumstances, must be 50% responsible or less (does not apply to medical malpractice) in order to receive compensation. Furthermore, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault which makes hiring a qualified, experienced law firm that much more important, ensuring you get everything you deserve.
