What Damages Can a Fort Walton Beach Personal Injury Lawyer Help You Recover?
Damages refer to the compensation you may recover for injuries caused by another’s negligence, such as in car accidents or slip-and-falls. A Fort Walton Beach personal injury lawyer at Fenimore Injury Law can pursue three main types of damages: economic, non-economic, and, in rare cases, punitive. Our experienced attorneys, led by Michael E. Fenimore, use their deep knowledge of Florida law to maximize your recovery for losses like medical bills, lost income, and emotional suffering.
Economic Damages
Medical Expenses: Covers past, current, and future treatment costs related to your injury, including hospital stays, surgeries, and therapy.
Lost Wages: Compensates for income lost due to missed work or medical appointments caused by your injury.
Lost Earning Capacity: Addresses reduced income if your injuries prevent you from returning to your previous job or force you into a lower-paying role.
Household Assistance: Includes costs for hiring help with tasks like cleaning or childcare that you can no longer perform due to your injuries.
Loss of Consortium: Compensates for the loss of companionship or intimacy with a spouse due to your injuries.
Loss of Enjoyment: Covers the diminished ability to engage in hobbies, sports, or daily activities you once enjoyed.
Emotional Distress: Addresses psychological impacts, such as anxiety or depression, stemming from your injury.
Pain and Suffering: Compensates for physical pain and discomfort caused by your injuries.
Permanent Disfigurement: Accounts for lasting scars or impairments affecting your appearance or function.
Punitive Damages
In rare cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish intentional or grossly negligent behavior and deter future misconduct. Under Florida law, punitive damages are capped at three times the compensatory damages or $500,000, whichever is greater. A Fort Walton Beach personal injury lawyer at Fenimore Injury Law, with Attorney Michael E. Fenimore’s insight from defending insurance companies, can assess if your case qualifies for these damages and fight for the justice you deserve.
Florida Damages Caps
Damages caps are laws that limit the amount of non-economic damages that can be awarded for a case. What this means is that if the jury awards a plaintiff an amount in damages, the court can override that decision under the damages cap rule.
A person who is between 26% and 50% can be responsible for up to $1 million of your damages. If a person is found to be more than 50% responsible, that person can be held responsible for up to $2 million of your damages.
