West Palm Beach Personal Injury
When an injury is caused by the negligence or irresponsible behavior of another individual or business, and that injury leads to physical disability or mental impairment, not to mention financial and emotional damages, it is referred to as a personal injury.
If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury, your life has changed. You have to face the challenge of healing. Recovering from a catastrophic injury, such as a head injury, back or neck injury, burn injury or amputation, often involves rehabilitation. In some cases, a lifetime of assisted care is required. Work is going to be missed, and wages are going to be lost. The combination of those lost wages and the medical bills can be extremely stressful, not just for you but for your entire family. You have the right to pursue compensation.

Damages in West Palm Beach Personal Injury CasesThrough a West Palm Beach personal injury case, you can seek to recover damages, which are monetary awards designed to compensate you for the losses caused by the defendant's negligent conduct. These damages are typically categorized into three types: economic, non-economic, and punitive.
Economic damages compensate you for any quantifiable financial losses, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and any future earning capacity loss. This includes both past and future expenses related to the injury.
Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are intended to compensate you for the subjective, non-monetary losses you experienced as a result of the accident. These include pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, disfigurement, and loss of consortium (intimate relationships).
Lastly, punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant and deter similar conduct in the future. In Florida, these are only awarded in cases where the defendant's actions were particularly reckless or egregious.
Florida follows the doctrine of comparative negligence, meaning that the amount of damages you can recover may be reduced by your own degree of fault. Therefore, it is crucial to consult with an experienced West Palm Beach personal injury lawyer prior to initiating a case.
