If you are seriously injured in the accident we can file a lawsuit on your behalf to help you recover the accident-related expenses that were not covered by the insurance policy. Our trial-tested attorneys have extensive experience in the courtroom and know how to present a compelling case before a judge and jury.

What is the Florida Serious Injury Threshold?

The serious injury threshold in Florida allows accident victims to recover economic and non-economic damages if they meet certain criteria. After an auto accident, the victim is limited to recovering economic damages through personal injury protection coverage. However, if the accident victim meets the criteria for a serious injury, they can pursue additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party or their insurer.

In Florida, you will meet the serious injury threshold if you sustain the following types of injuries:

• Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Injuries that resulted in death
• Significant permanent loss of a bodily function

While a minor injury, such as soft tissue damage may not meet the serious injury threshold, a bone fracture might. Additionally, crush injuries or spinal cord damage can also qualify as a serious injury.

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney?

At Friedland & Associates, our car accident lawyers and personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. With a contingency fee arrangement, there are no upfront costs, so you can obtain experienced, knowledgeable legal representation as soon as possible. If your case is not successful, youll pay nothing. If you win your case, your attorney will subtract a small percentage from your settlement or award to cover the cost of legal fees.

What Are Common Types Of Accident Injuries?

When a person is involved in an accident, whether its a car accident or a slip and fall incident, they can sustain injuries that can change their life forever. In some cases, the accident victim can walk away with injuries that will heal in a matter of weeks or months. In other instances, they may face a long and difficult recovery.
