Types of Personal Injury Accident Claims
There are a number of different types of personal injury accident claims that we often see. They include:
- Motor vehicle accidents: These accidents include car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle accidents, and motorcycle accidents. They occur every day across Florida as a result of negligence, including distracted driving, speeding, driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, drowsiness, and other types of risky behavior.
- Dog bites: We love our furry friends, but sometimes dog bites and attacks occur, even when you have done nothing to provoke an animal. In Florida, dog owners are liable for any damage that their dog inflicts on another person or animal.
- Medical malpractice: A Johns Hopkins study found that medical error is now the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. behind heart disease and cancer.
- Premises liability: Premises liability occurs when you are hurt because a property owner or manager failed to take proper care of their building or property. You must prove that they owed you a duty of care and breached that duty, causing you to suffer an injury.
If you are hurt as a result of one of these accidents or something else, you may be eligible to hold the negligent party responsible for your losses. For a free evaluation of your case, contact The Dickstein Law Firm at 1-888-352-4878.

How Florida’s Statute of Limitations May Impact Your Claim
Florida has a statute of limitations of four years for personal injury claims. If you do not file your claim within four years of the date of your accident, you are typically barred from recovering any compensation from the defendant, although there are some exceptions to this rule. If your loved one died as a result of their injuries, you must file your claim within two years of their death.
