- Emotional anguish: Your accident and injuries can have a deep emotional impact on your life. You may develop mental health conditions like depression or anxiety, and that can make your life more difficult.
- Loss of consortium or companionship: Your relationship with your loved ones can suffer after an accident. You may no longer be able to provide the same level of support and companionship you once did, and you and your family deserve to have this pain acknowledged.
- Pain and suffering: This form of damages is designed to compensate you for any of the physical pain and emotional suffering you dealt with from your injuries. While nothing can make up for this and other emotional damages, you are entitled to seek this kind of restitution.

Questions for Our Hialeah Injury Attorneys
Personal injury cases can be confusing and frustrating for anyone, so here are some frequently asked questions our clients have for our team.
How Long Do I Have to File My Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Florida has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury, wrongful death, and medical malpractice lawsuits (Florida Statutes § 95.11 (4)(a)). Nursing home abuse lawsuits also follow a two-year statute of limitations (Florida Statutes § 400.0236).
These are general timeframes, and many factors can change how long you have to act. In some types of cases, certain statutory notices must be sent before filing a lawsuit. Our lawyers can review your case to determine how long you have left to act and if there are any possible extensions or exceptions to your case. Regardless of the deadline, it’s important to reach out as soon as you can, as you could miss your chance to seek compensation if you miss this deadline.

What Is the Average Settlement for a Personal Injury Case?
It’s difficult to really estimate an average settlement, as cases vary widely based on multiple factors. Some of the factors that can impact your settlement or verdict include:
- How severe your injuries are and the impact of your injuries on your life
- The cost of your expenses and the value of your intangible losses
- The percentage of your contribution to the accident, when applicable
- If any laws limit specific types of damages
- The amount of insurance coverage available for the incident
We’ll account for these and other factors when seeking maximum compensation.
