Personal Injuries in Coral Springs, Florida

Over its relatively short history, the planned city of Coral Springs has grown into a vibrant and thriving area of neighborhoods and commercial centers.

But as in any bustling South Florida metropolis, Coral Springs also sees its share of preventable accidents and incidents. According to the Florida Department of Transportation State Safety Office, over five years, hundreds of traffic accidents on Coral Springs roads caused injuries, and the city averaged more than one fatal crash each year.

And that's just motor vehicle accidents—thousands more Coral Springs residents, workers, and visitors undoubtedly suffered injuries and losses in other types of mishaps, from falls on wet floors and job sites to carelessness to mistakes and neglect in medical facilities.

Victims of personal injuries in Coral Springs have potentially valuable legal rights, but only if they take steps to enforce them before they expire.

Potential Compensation for a Coral Springs Personal Injury

Numerous factors affect when, whether, and how much you might receive as compensation for a personal injury you suffered in Coral Springs. Generally, however, victims of personal injuries in South Florida can take legal action seeking payment of two categories of compensatory damages: economic and non-economic. They might also request damages. Here's an overview of each.

Economic Damages

Sometimes referred to as special damages, economic damages compensate you for your expenses and financial losses stemming from a personal injury. They typically include:

Medical expenses related to treating your injuries, such as the cost of:

Coral Springs Personal Injury Lawyer
  • Doctors' appointments
  • Surgeries
  • Follow-up appointments
  • Prescriptions
  • Over-the-counter prescribed medications
  • Ambulatory aids
  • Medical devices
  • Occupational therapy
  • Physical therapy
  • Cognitive therapy
  • Psychological therapy
  • Home health care
  • Rehabilitation and nursing home stays
  • Hand controls for your vehicle
  • Medically necessary modifications to your home, including wheelchair ramps, grab bars, handrails, walk-in or roll-in showers, and widened doorways

Personal property-related costs, such as the cost to repair or replace a damaged vehicle or items of value lost or destroyed in an accident.

Lost wages resulting from your injuries, which can include:

  • Compensation for the work-related income you lost between the date of the accident and the date of any settlement or judgment in your case, plus interest;
  • The value of any sick days, vacation leave, or other paid time off you used while out of work healing from your injuries.
  • Future wages and income you will not be able to earn because your injuries left you partially or totally disabled.

Other expenses flow directly from the accident and the injuries you suffered in it, such as costs for services and support needed to adapt to or live with your injuries (e.g., childcare or transportation).

You might recover death-related expenses and losses if a Coral Springs accident caused the wrongful death of your loved one.

These may include:

  • Loss of the deceased's income, inheritance, or financial support
  • Loss of the value of the deceased's household services
  • Accrued medical expenses before death
  • Funeral and burial/cremation expenses
  • Probate-related costs, including attorney fees.

Non-Economic Damages

Sometimes referred to as general damages, non-economic damages do not have a fixed monetary value.

Instead, they consist of all non-financial forms of harm that flow from a Coral Springs personal injury, such as:

  • Pain and suffering, including emotional distress and mental health challenges.
  • Loss of quality of life, such as being forced to make significant changes to your daily routine, diet, or activities.
  • Loss of companionship if you can no longer enjoy time with your spouse, family, or friends because of your injuries.
  • Loss of consortium if you can no longer have a physical relationship with your spouse or domestic partner.
  • Inconvenience or loss of independence.
  • Amputation or loss of use of a body part, such as a finger or a leg.
  • Partial or total loss of a bodily function like your eyesight, bladder function, or hearing.
  • Scarring or disfigurement.

Punitive Damages

Unlike compensatory damages, punitive damages do not seek to replace something you have lost (what lawyers refer to as making you whole). Instead, they punish someone who injured you through extreme, outrageous, or intentionally harmful behavior.

Florida statutes allow you to recover punitive damages only if a judge or jury “based on clear and convincing evidence, finds that the defendant was personally guilty of intentional misconduct or gross negligence.” This can be a high bar to meet, but it's one the team at Dolman Law Group Accident Injury Lawyers has cleared many times when our clients have suffered injuries because of someone else's wrongful conduct.
