There are two types of financial compensation that can be recovered in personal injury claims under Florida law if an individual suffered a serious injury on someone else’s property: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages include your medical treatment, lost wages, and future lost earnings if your injuries from your accident render you unable to work. Non-economic damages for a fall accident include pain and suffering. Undoubtedly, your personal injury was emotionally distressing to you, and the slip and fall may have affected your family as well. If you were used to living a full and active life but are limited due to an injury caused by someone else’s negligence, then you should have a lawyer fighting for you. You deserve fair compensation from the property owner or their insurance company for the emotional distress you endured.
