What are my rights if I’ve been injured?

Many people who have suffered injuries in Florida accidents are unsure of the scope of their legal rights. If you’ve been injured in Florida, you have the right to file an insurance claim alleging negligence and to pursue fair compensation for your losses. If the at-fault party won’t offer a fair settlement, you can file a lawsuit. Under Florida’s comparative negligence statute, you can successfully obtain a recovery if you are found to be less than 51 percent responsible for the accident.
