The potential damages available in a personal injury case
When you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, the law allows you to seek compensation for a variety of losses. At Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath, we work to ensure you receive full and fair damages that reflect the true impact of your injury.
Economic damages
These are the quantifiable financial losses you’ve suffered, including medical bills, hospital stays, prescription costs, rehabilitation, and any future medical care related to your injury. Lost wages and reduced earning capacity due to your injury also fall under economic damages.
Non-economic damages
Injuries often cause pain, suffering, emotional distress, and a reduced quality of life. Non-economic damages compensate for these less tangible but deeply felt impacts.
Punitive damages
In rare cases where the at-fault party’s conduct was particularly reckless or intentional, punitive damages may be awarded to punish them and deter similar behavior in the future.
Factors that affect the value of the claim
- Severity of injuries — More serious or permanent injuries typically increase claim value.
- Medical expenses — Past, current, and future medical costs related to the injury.
- Lost wages and earning capacity — Income lost due to time off work or reduced ability to work.
- Pain and suffering — Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
- Comparative negligence — Your percentage of fault can reduce the total compensation.
- Insurance policy limits — The at-fault party’s insurance coverage caps the maximum payout.
- Evidence strength — Clear proof of fault and damages supports a higher claim value.
- Impact on daily life — How the injury affects your lifestyle, relationships, and activities.
- Property damage — Costs for repair or replacement of damaged personal property.
Understanding comparative negligence in Florida personal injury cases
Florida follows a pure comparative negligence system. This means that if you were partly responsible for the accident that caused your injury, your compensation will be reduced by your share of fault. For example, if you are found 30% at fault, your total damages award will be reduced by 30%.
Unlike some states that bar recovery if you’re more than 50% at fault, Florida allows you to recover damages no matter your percentage of responsibility—even if you are mostly at fault, you can still recover a portion of your damages.
We work to minimize the blame placed on you and maximize the compensation you receive. Understanding how fault is assigned in Florida can be complicated, but we’ll guide you through every step to protect your rights.

We answer commonly asked questions about Florida personal injury
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is two years from the injury (recently updated from four years). It’s important to start your claim early to avoid missing this deadline.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured. Document the accident scene if possible, gather contact info from witnesses, and report the incident to the appropriate authorities. Then, contact an experienced personal injury lawyer to protect your rights.
Will I have to go to court?
Many personal injury cases settle before trial, but if a fair settlement isn’t possible, we’re prepared to take your case to court. Our goal is always to get you the best possible outcome, whether through negotiation or litigation.
