Accidental injuries can leave you with many financial expenses and losses. Damages we may help you recover from the at-fault party or their insurance company include:

• Current and future medical bills
• Short and long-term rehab and therapy
• Hospital stays and assistive medical devices
• Current loss of income and loss of future earnings
• Property damage and diminished property value
• Physical disabilities and disfigurement
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering

The loss of a loved one due to a catastrophic injury could also qualify your family to recover the costs of their funeral and burial expenses. When you work with Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, your catastrophic injury lawyer serving Plantation will clarify the additional damages surviving families can request and ensure the appropriate family members file a wrongful death action.

Pursuing Personal Injury Compensation Has a Time Limit

Recovering from life-changing injuries can be costly and time-consuming. However, your right to recover damages has a state-mandated time limit. The specifics of your case will determine the applicable statute of limitations.

In Plantation:

• Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) generally entitles you to two years to file your personal injury lawsuit.
• Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d) generally entitles you to two years from the date of a loved one’s death to file your wrongful death lawsuit.
• Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b) generally entitles you to two years from the date of a medical error to file your medical malpractice lawsuit.
• Florida Statutes § 400.0236 generally entitles you to two years from the date of nursing home abuse to file a lawsuit.

Florida Statutes § 95.051 lists the exceptions to the statute of limitations that may affect your case. Our legal team will clarify relevant exceptions and ensure we file your case within the allotted time frame. 

Your Plantation Catastrophic Injury Lawyer Will Build a Comprehensive Case File

Our legal team and the at-fault party’s insurance and legal representatives will rely on evidence to tell the story of your accident. The evidence we collect for you may include: 

• Official reports
• Medical records
• Written prognosis
• Proof of income
• Photos and videos
• Witness statements

Leave evidence collection to us and discover how hard we work to prove the at-fault party’s liability and ensure your case gets the care and attention to detail it deserves.
