At ROSELLI ♦ McNELIS our Attorneys have dedicated their legal careers to the Representation of the Injured and their Families. Personal Injury Actions are claims brought for monetary compensation, by someone injured from the negligence or intentional acts of another person, or corporation. The injury suffered is usually physical injury, however emotional damages in some cases are also able to be recovered. Damages and losses for medical bills and future care, lost wages and income, pain and suffering, disability, scarring and disfigurement, mental anguish, and other damages may potentially be recoverable depending on the facts of each case.
Not every injured person is entitled to bring a personal injury claim for monetary damages when injured. There are several different theories under which a Personal Injury Claim may be filed which include: Negligence, Intentional Tort, or Strict Liability. In a Negligence Action the law usually requires that the person injured, the Plaintiff, must prove through testimony of witnesses and evidence that the Defendant has breached a duty of reasonable care by his actions or inaction, and directly caused or contributed to cause, the injuries and damages claimed. In addition, some claims for Personal Injury are brought for Intentional Conduct such as Assault or Battery, Defamation, and Slander. Under the theory of Strict Liability, which is applicable in limited types of cases, such as product defects, a Defendant may be liable regardless of fault.

The Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
The Statute of Limitations, is the time within which you must file a lawsuit and/or any formal claim notice as may be required by State or Federal Law. If your claim or lawsuit is not brought properly before the expiration of the applicable Statute of Limitation, any claim for damages will be barred. Calculating the Statue of Limitations, may not always be clear. Many times, particularly in Medical Malpractice cases, it takes a skilled and experienced attorney who specializes in these cases, and only after review of the medical records to be able to appropriately determine the applicable limitations date. The Laws of each State will specify the applicable Statute of Limitations period and other procedural requirements for actions brought in that State. Under Florida Law, in general, the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims is four (4) years from the date of the incident. However, depending on the specific type of cause of action, there may be other applicable limitation periods which are shorter, such as with Wrongful Death, Medical Malpractice, or claims against Governmental Entities. In Federal causes of action there may be specific Federal Statutes that additionally provide limitation periods for a particular type of claim. In addition some claims require compliance with specific Requirements and Notice be provided prior to any lawsuit being filed. It is very important that for any potential claim an experienced attorney appropriately recognize, calculate and comply with all applicable Statutes of Limitation, other limitation periods and notice requirements to fully protect your rights.
