Orlando Florida Personal Injury Law
The Orlando personal injury attorneys practicing at The Law Office of Ronald J. Conte P.L. understand how a personal injury can negatively impact your daily life. Aside from any physical pain and/or limitations you must endure, it can be extremely frustrating and inconvenient. If you have suffered a personal injury you owe it to yourself and your family to consult with an experienced attorney to help litigate your case and protect your legal rights under Florida law.
If you have been injured due to someone else’s actions or failure to act you have suffered a personal injury. This also extends to your personal property. If you file a personal injury lawsuit it is considered to be a civil suit rather than a criminal suit and any compensation you are entitled to receive under the law will be monetary. Bear in mind you need not suffer serious physical injury to have been a victim of a personal injury. Defamation of character either via libel or slander, intruding on your privacy or purposely and carelessly subjecting you to emotional trauma are all types of personal injury.
Florida Law Regarding Personal Injury
If you are a victim of a personal injury in Florida it is important to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury attorney because there are statute of limitations for filing a lawsuit. Some common personal injuries and their corresponding timeframes are as follows:
• Personal injury – four years
• Libel and/or slander – two years
• Personal injury to property – four years
• Fraud – four years
• Medical malpractice – two to four years
Additionally, if the personal injury lawsuit is based on a faulty or defective product the civil action needs to be filed within two years from the date the injury occurred or should have been recognized.
