Economic damages – These types of damages refer to the economic impact of an injury, such as medical expenses, lost wages, physical injury that results in serious disability, and etc.

Non-economic damages – These forms of damages are related to your physical and emotional suffering. This includes the subjective costs of an accident like trauma, future pain and suffering from PTSD, long-term injuries, and etc.

FAQ Answer: The Statute of Limitations is what you refer to as the time frame you have to file a lawsuit. These limitations are different in every state. As a qualified attorney, Avita M. Samaroo understands Florida Statute of Limitation Laws very well. Not understanding the time limitations on filing a lawsuit can prevent you from pursuing a claim. Florida allows you 4 years to file a lawsuit against the perpetrators of your personal injury

However, there are some exceptions to this general rule. These exceptions include wrongful death claims and claims against the government. If a person dies as a result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident, their surviving family members may be able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. However, the time-frame for a wrongful death claim, and any claim against the government are different.

Florida Statute Section 95.11(4)(d) requires claims to be filed within two 2 years of the wrongful death. Another important exception involves claims against a Florida city, county or the overall state itself. Claims against the government are limited by a three 3 year Statute of Limitations.
