Your husband should contact the University's insurance carrier and file a personal injury claim. The University should have a claims department where he can obtain the name and address of the insurance carrier.  His personal injury claim should include his medical bills and medical reports and if applicable, documentation of any wage loss from the injury.  Compensation for the medical bills is straight reimbursement.  The medical reports will document the nature and extent of his injury and will be used to determine compensation for pain and suffering, which is an amount in addition to the medical bills.  Compensation for wage loss is straight reimbursement.If the case is settled with the University's insurance carrier, NO lawsuit is filed.  If your husband is dissatisfied with settlement offers from the University (a settlement of his case should be sufficient to compensate your husband and pay his medical bills), he should reject the settlement offers and file a lawsuit for either negligence or premises liability (depending on how the injury occurred) against the University.If the case is NOT settled, the lawsuit must be filed prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or your husband will lose his rights forever in the matter. Florida has a four year statute of limitations in personal injury cases which means that your husband has four years from the date of the injury to file his lawsuit.If the University does not cooperate in providing your husband with the name and address of its insurance carrier, your husband should file the above lawsuit immediately against the University.
