Understanding Florida's Comparative Negligence Law
Florida operates under a pure comparative negligence system. This means that even if you are partially at fault for your injury, you may still recover damages, reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found to be 20% responsible, your compensation will be reduced by that amount. Our attorneys will work to minimize your assigned fault and maximize your recovery.
Types of Compensation Available
Victims of personal injury may be entitled to various forms of compensation, including:
- Medical Expenses:
Current and future medical bills related to the injury.
- Lost Wages: Income lost due to inability to work.
- Loss of Earning Capacity: If the injury affects future employment prospects.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical pain and emotional distress.
- Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged property.
- Punitive Damages: In cases of gross negligence or intentional harm, additional damages may be awarded to punish the wrongdoer.
Our team will thoroughly assess your case to determine all applicable damages and pursue the full compensation you are entitled to.

Common Questions about Personal Injury
How can a personal injury attorney help me after an accident?
A personal injury attorney helps you understand your legal rights, investigates the accident, gathers evidence, communicates with insurance companies, and works to secure fair compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
How much does it cost to hire Tucker Law Group?
Tucker Law Group typically works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay any upfront fees. The attorney is only paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
In most cases, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, deadlines can vary depending on the specifics of your case, so it’s important to act quickly.
How long do most personal injury settlements take?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case, severity of injuries, and insurance negotiations. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more if litigation is required.
What kinds of cases do you handle?
The firm handles a wide range of cases, including personal injury, car accidents, workplace injuries, Defense Base Act (DBA) claims, Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act (LHWCA) claims, Florida workers’ compensation, and Social Security disability cases.
How should I prepare for my initial consultation with a personal injury attorney?
Bring any relevant documents such as medical records, accident reports, insurance information, photographs, witness details, and any correspondence related to your injury or claim.
Will my case go to trial or will it settle?
Most personal injury cases are resolved through settlements. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, your attorney is prepared to take your case to trial to pursue full compensation.
