Can You Seek Compensation?
Under Florida law, an individual can seek financial restitution for their injuries if it is shown that they have the grounds to do so. This means that they must be able to show the courts that the other person involved in the accident acted in a negligent or reckless manner and that those actions directly led to the injuries.
Exactly what negligent or reckless actions are will depend upon the situation and the type of accident. Some examples include things like:
- Speeding
- Failure to obey traffic laws
- Drunk driving
- Texting while driving
- Failure to maintain a vehicle properly
- Failure to maintain a safe property for visitors
- Failure to maintain a safe working environment
In general, the primary focus is on showing that the other party acted in a way that a reasonable person wouldn’t have acted in the same situation, or in a way that any reasonable person would recognize as being reckless or negligent. If you can show these basic points, you may have the grounds to seek financial compensation for your injuries.
