Florida is home to some of the most dangerous roads in the United States including Interstate 4, Interstate 95, and Route 1. Car and truck accidents frequently occur along these roadways. Car accidents can cause serious physical and emotional damage. A lawsuit can help you financially recover after an accident.
Financial compensation available in a lawsuit may include:
Reimbursement for medical expenses: Injuries sustained in a car accident can be severe. You may need ongoing medical treatments or rehabilitation to fully heal from your injuries. A lawsuit for financial compensation can help you recover the money you need to pay your medical bills.
Compensation for pain and suffering: Car accidents can cause substantial physical pain and emotional distress. An attorney can help you file a lawsuit and help you financially recover for the mental anguish you may have experienced as a result of the accident and subsequent injuries.
Lost income and loss of future income: If your injuries have changed your ability to work, financial compensation for lost income or lost wages may be available to you. If your injuries are severe enough that you no longer have the ability to work or work in the same capacity as before the accident, loss of future income may be available to you.
Property damage: Your vehicle and personal property may have been damaged or destroyed in the motor vehicle accident. A lawsuit can help you pay for the replacement or repair of your property.
Punitive awards: Punitive awards may be given in cases where the defendant's actions were found to be especially reckless or intentional. Punitive awards are not given in every case. An attorney can help advocate for you in situations where punitive awards may be available.
Calculating financial compensation or a potential settlement in a car accident lawsuit involves assessing the specific circumstances of the case. Your attorney will calculate the proper amount of financial compensation you can sue for by considering the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and any future medical or financial needs.
It is very important for injured parties to work with experienced personal injury attorneys who can accurately evaluate their damages and advocate for fair compensation through negotiation or litigation.
The statute of limitations refers to the window of time during which you can file a lawsuit for financial compensation. Florida has several different statutes of limitations that may apply in car accident lawsuits.
It is very important to consult with an attorney before beginning any type of legal action. Your attorney can make sure that you are properly filing your lawsuit in the state of Florida. Lawsuits filed over injuries suffered in a car accident must be brought within two years of the crash.
Florida's statute of limitations provides clear deadlines for initiating legal action following a car accident. However, it is important to note that there are some exceptions to these timelines. Understanding the statute of limitations may be confusing or challenging. It is best to consult with an attorney who can help determine if your case falls under any of the exceptions allowable by law.

“Attorneys Greg Francis and Ryan Fletcher at Osborne & Francis Law Firm represented me in my personal injury case.The defendant drew a line in the sand and was adamant on a settlement amount I was almost willing to accept. After the dust settled and the smoke cleared, we settled for 3 times that amount!!! When they say ‘Real Tough Lawyers,’ they mean it.”
“I am so thankful for EVERYONE, the entire staff at Osborne & Francis Law, for mentoring me through the mediation process with my hip replacement failures. I didn't realize how MUCH pressure they relieved me of by helping me deal with the reality of this traumatic time in my life, as it was OVER so quickly with a positive result. My family is grateful to have their mom HAPPY & FOCUSED on the future, rather than worrying over what happened in the past! FAST FORWARD, we are LIVING LIFE to the fullest once again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer/ firm — everything was done professionally exactly how I wanted. Due to COVID my personal attorney Mr. Garcia was still able to make things work in a timely manner and he never made me feel like he wasn’t working. Overall I’m happy with how my case turned out and I would recommend him and this law firm to anyone. 100% satisfied.”
Dennis and the other Osborne & Francis staff were amazing! Our case was HUGE and required tender loving care. Everyone on our case did their part by putting all the puzzle pieces together. We were given step by step updates and put at ease when our nerves got the best of us. For every inquiry we made we received a timely response...You are appreciated!
Quick and fair resolution to a unique case. On advice of my own attorney, I engaged Joseph Osborne of Osborne & Francis of Boca Raton, FL. Mr. Osborne had considerable experience in cases such as mine and the results showed that. Mr. Osborne and his staff were very helpful, kept me up to date, and listened to my input. The settlement was very fair as far as I am concerned.
"Best personal injury attorney around, I could not be happier! I was seriously injured in a car accident and Osborne and Francis helped me through the entire process.
