What can I recover if I win my Florida personal injury case?

You can recover the actual damages that you have incurred because of the injury. So if you have lost wages, you can recover those. If you have future lost wages, somebody says you’re going to need a surgery, so you’re going to have to be out of work for another two months, you can recover future lost wages. Past medical expenses, future medical expenses.

And then, you’re also entitled to intangible damages if your injuries are significant. The insurance companies like to call that pain and suffering, but in reality, it’s how your life is different now because of the accident, whether it’s painful for you to give your children a bath, get your kids in and out of a car, you can’t go horseback riding anymore, fishing. All of these are real examples of how people’s lives are changed because of their injuries.
