What Are the Elements of Negligence in a Personal Injury Claim?

Negligence is the basis of most personal injury claims, including those involving motor vehicle accidents, slip and falls, workplace accidents, and other incidents. It means that a person has failed to act reasonably under the circumstances caused harm to another.

Negligence has four legal elements you must prove to establish your right to compensation:

  • Duty of care – The defendant must have owed you a duty of care to act in a certain way. For example, motorists must obey traffic laws and drive safely to prevent accidents. Property owners must maintain safe premises. 
  • Breach of duty – The defendant breached the duty by doing or failing to do something, such as speeding or failing to clean up a spill.
  • Causation – The defendant’s breach of duty must be the direct and legal cause of the accident, such as the speeding driver didn’t stop in time to avoid an accident or the property owner’s failure to clean up the spill, resulting in your fall. 
  • Damages – You suffered damages for which the court can compensate you, such as medical expenses or lost income.

Your lawyer can identify and preserve evidence to help you establish your negligence claim, such as accident reports, medical records, witness statements, video surveillance footage, expert testimony, and more.

Personal Injury FAQs

Do I Have a Tampa Personal Injury Case?

How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Most Hillsborough County personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. They do not ask for any upfront payment for their services. Instead, they receive a percentage of the compensation they recover on your behalf through a settlement or jury award.

 

If they are unable to recover compensation, you do not owe anything for their legal services.

 

This payment arrangement allows you to get quality representation without worrying about the cost. We will explain our contingency fees in further detail during your initial case review.

How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in Florida?

Florida’s statute of limitations is two years for most personal injury lawsuits. That means you will typically have two years from the date of your accident to take legal action.

 

However, there are some exceptions to this deadline.

 

The rules surrounding legal filings can be complicated, so it’s best to consult a knowledgeable personal injury lawyer to learn the deadline that applies to your particular case. Reach out today to preserve your rights.

What’s My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Every case involves unique details and characteristics, so there is no average amount of money to expect for a personal injury case.

 

Some factors that can affect your claim’s value include

  • The type of accident
  • The identity and number of at-fault parties
  • The insurance coverage available
  • The extent of your injuries
  • Whether your injuries caused permanent disabilities
  • The value of your economic damages
  • The extent of your pain and suffering
  • Whether your case settles or goes to trial

 

The best way to learn about the potential value of your claim is to contact a personal injury attorney. We can accurately assess your damages and fight for every dollar you deserve.

What Damages Are Available After an Accident?

Accident victims may have the right to pursue compensation for their economic and non-economic damages.

 

Economic damages are direct financial losses you incur because of the accident, such as:

  • Medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Out-of-pocket costs

 

Non-economic damages include less tangible losses, such as:

  • Pain and suffering
  • Mental anguish
  • Emotional distress
  • Loss of companionship
  • Reduced quality of life

 

Our experienced personal injury attorneys can evaluate your case to determine the damages you can claim.

Can I Still Get Compensation If I’m Being Blamed?

Yes, as long as you are not found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you can still receive compensation. Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule with a 51% bar to financial recovery. However, your damages will be reduced in proportion to your degree of fault.

 

For example, if you are 10% to blame for the accident, your damages will be reduced by 10%.

 

The insurance company may use this rule against you to lower your payout. Don’t let them get away with it. If the opposing side is pointing fingers at you, contact our attorneys right away. We’ll protect you from unfair allegations of shared fault.

How Long Will My Injury Case Take?

Each injury case is different. The amount of time it takes to resolve one may vary substantially with the amount of time it takes to resolve another.

 

Some factors that can affect the timeline of your personal injury case include:

  • The type of case
  • The severity of your injuries
  • Whether multiple defendants are involved
  • The willingness of the insurance company to settle your case for a reasonable value
  • How clear liability is
  • Whether your case settles or goes to trial
  • How long it takes you to reach maximum medical improvement

 

A lawyer can review your case and give you a better idea about the potential timeline you can expect.

Client Reviews

The first thing I want to say about Matthew Mincone is that he shows up! A very responsive attorney who is also persistent! I contacted him after an auto accident in another state when I had difficulty getting medical treatment. He got me the medical treatment I needed as well as a substantial amount for pain and suffering. Thanks for being there with me during this awful time, Matt!

Larry Hollis

Matthew treats you like you’re his friend, not someone he’s working for which was definitely appreciated. He was straight forward and honest about every bit of the process. He respected the fact I was a teacher and really did so much of the leg work for me when I needed it the most. Couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me through dealing with insurance companies, especially when I had no clue what my next steps were!

Rochelle Major

I am so happy I have chosen this law firm. I got into a bad car accident that almost killed me an I found Matt. Him and his amazing assistant Ann stepped in to help me through it all they went above a beyond for me. They made sure I got every penny I deserved. Also every surgery I need as well as every doctor appointment. They cared about me like family. Ann is amazing an so sweet as well. I would recommend them. Thank you both for everything!

Brittany Carroll

From the very beginning, Matt and his group have been awesome! Very quick and willing to answer questions and concerns; and always explained things where I could understand (layman’s terms). I truly felt like I had a strong defender in my corner, helping me to understand the process and what needed to be done. Thank you to Matt. Anne, Todd and the rest of his team for your help!

Dawn Hall

Best attorney in the world. Hard working, funny, super polite and nice, and gets the job done. I’ll never go to another attorney for injury or contractual law again. Man is a home run. Appreciate you Matt.

Brian Newman

From the very beginning, I knew I had the right attorney. Very professional, extremely thorough, and great empathy. Matt fought for me every step of the way. There is no reason to seek another attorney. Go with Matt!

Todd Gerst

My daughter & I were rear-ended in May. Matthew quickly set us up with a local chiropractor who saw us weekly, which really helped us with the healing process. His busy team was informative when I questions & they all seemed pretty nice.

S. Mechelle McGriff

This Law Firm is very good. You gotta know when searching for an attorney that when you’re in an accident or involved in some type of injury, lawyers are quick to send out a electronic statement for you to sign without even knowing the facts of the case. They just see a potential claim and want to hurry up and get you to sign with them before you talk to any other lawyers.But this Law Firm here Matt the attorney that I spoke to he actually took the time to evaluate and go over my claim and discuss it with me and length is a very sharp and intelligent attorney and I would recommend him to anybody.
