Types of Personal Injury Accidents

There are many circumstances of negligence and misconduct that causes personal injury. It is crucial to find who was liable and prove that their negligence or reckless behavior caused the accident.

The types of accidents associated with personal injury include some of the following:

Once you have been involved in an accident it is important to contact a Jacksonville personal injury lawyer before speaking with an insurance company.

Typically, the insurance company's main focus is protecting the best interest of the company, as opposed to the personal needs of their clients. You may be short-handed in your compensation. Have our injury attorney in Jacksonville or Jacksonville Beach look over your insurance company's settlement to determine if you have received the maximum amount of compensation for your personal injury.

How Much is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?

The amount you are entitled to in a settlement depends on several factors related to the severity of your accident. You deserve to be compensated for your medical bills, including emergency care and any type of rehabilitative treatment you will require, such as chiropractic adjustments or physical therapy.

You can also claim compensation for the income you have lost and will lose in the future, both during your recovery and in the event that the injury has made it impossible for you to continue earning the same amount. Additionally, you can claim damages for your pain and suffering, which can be difficult to compute. 

I've Already Been Offered a Settlement. Should I Take It?

An important thing to remember when dealing with insurance companies is that they are in business to make money, and are determined to avoid paying any more on a claim than necessary. They know that accident victims are usually anxious to receive a check, and they will typically make an offer in hopes of settling the claim quickly and cheaply.

Your injuries may be worth significantly more than you have been offered, and if you accept the check or sign any type of waiver, you will likely give up your right to pursue the compensation you deserve. Speak with us first so that we can inform you of your rights.

How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Claim in Florida?

According to the Florida Statutes section 95.11(3)(a), the statute of limitations for personal injury cases in the state of Florida is four years. The statute of limitations is a law imposed on a state level which dictates how long a claimant has to file a claim before they lose their legal right to do so.

In other words, this means you have four years from the date of your accident to file your personal injury claim before you will lose your legal right to file and pursue compensation for your injuries. There are some exceptions that can change this time limit so it’s important to speak to an experienced attorney about your case as soon as possible. Our firm offers free, no-obligation consultations so you have nothing to lose by contacting The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. today.

    "This firm is head and shoulders above anyone."
    I met Jason 13 years ago in a case I had. He wasn't my first choice of lawyer originally. Our original lawyer was unable to perform the task needed at the time. Jason took our case over and worked his magic in the courtroom. People, the is no substitute for a court case. This firm is head and shoulders above anyone. If you want to go generic with your cereal that's fine. You can buy Fruit Rings instead of Froot Loops. But when choosing an attorney and your life is on the line, go with this firm. You get what you pay for. And by Picking Porter, you get so much more. Since then my entire family has used this firm for random cases. All of which we have prevailed. Most recently, Chris Craun family law attorney has helped us win yet another case. His outstanding outlook and attention to the details and knowledge of the law was the difference. Chris comes from this same tree. They know people and the law. Do not mess up by acquiring sub-par representation. You should pick Porter before your counterpart does!!!

    "I will definitely be using them again if I ever need to!"
    First off let me say how much I love this law firm!!! My boyfriend was referred by a friend and I'm glad we listened! This was the first time we ever needed a lawyer and Richard Watson was INCREDIBLE! He knows his stuff and he doesn't settle for anything less than what we deserved! We loved talking to Bonnie when we called she was always so cheerful and helpful! I recommend YOU to choose this office!!!!!! I promise you won't be disappointed !!!! I will definitely be using them again if I ever need to!

    "We picked Porter and glad we did!!!"
    Jason and his firm came highly recommended by my family member. My son's case would have eventually ended up with negative consequences if not for Jonathan Thatcher. Jonathan was supportive, knowledgeable and kept us informed at all stages of the case. Great firm and appreciate all your hard work in the success of my son's case. I would use this firm again and again.

    "He prepared our family through each and every step."

    "Bad things happen to good families and people” That is one of the first things Jason said to me and my son. The laws are set to protect us. However, the law can be black and white when there are several shades of grey. If a man has a beer in his own house after coming back from war but is only 20, should his dad be charged for contributing to the delinquency of a minor? Have you ever done something now looking back, it may not have been the best decision but nothing happened? That was not the case a few years ago to my family. A bad decision, one I am sure many of us have done in our younger days. A bad decision was made and it could have ruined a young man’s future. The courts are busy and things can fall through the cracks; I was making sure my son was not one of them. I knew Jason had worked for the District attorney’s office so he knew both sides of the law. He knew what the other side was going to do and say because he was there for many years. He prepared our family through each and every step. He made sure that we were proactive “getting ducks in a row” so to speak. If there was something mentioned, we had already taken care of it and showed no history and really no where for the other side to go. What could have been jail time ended up being a bump in the road. No one can promise anything is a sure thing. Jason did not make any promises he was not prepared to keep. He told us what normally happens, and what he was going to try for and he did. I rather have someone say there is a 70/30 chance than, “sure this is no problem, don’t worry about it”. We do worry about it. It is our lives or one of someone we love. Some cases may not be life or death, but they all are between a life that could be and a life that never will be. Jason understands that and approached it as if was his brother standing next to him. Every now and then, I will look at my son when eating dinner or something and think, if it was not for Jason and his group, I would have to visit my son to see him. I thanked God for Jason being there then, and have every day since.

    "Nicely Done! Success has been reached!"
    Many times when you meet attorneys to represent you, there are thoughts that reside in the back of your head...some good and some bad. "Are these guys REALLY going to help me," or "do they REALLY have my best interest," or "can I really trust them?" Those are the many thoughts, plus more, that I had--it did go away after my first initial visit with one of the attorney's at Jason's Porter's law office. For my case, I worked with two different attorneys which included Jason Porter himself. Both of those guys were with me 100% from the beginning, in court, after court, late in the evening by phone calls, text, and emails, it was a great experience. What was consistent and what I valued most is that I got to know both of them, what they like to do in their personal time with family, which felt like I could communicate openly and honestly. My case was a criminal case and because of them, I do not have to be viewed as a criminal. I want to share and express my gratitude for how they have helped me so others can choose Jason Porter.

    "Nicole Carlucci is truly excellent in her profession."
    Attorney Nicole Carlucci was exactly what I needed. I chose her because she is professional, compassionate and fair. She explained everything to me and was really looking out for my best interests. She made herself available to hear all my concerns and questions. Ms. Carlucci made me aware of points that needed to be addressed that I didn’t know about. I would not have been able to get what was needed without her. She went above and beyond which is why I’m recommending her. In addition, she continued to support me with additional needs after the fact. Nicole Carlucci is truly excellent in her profession.
