Jacksonville Beach Personal Injury Lawyer

An injury affects your work, relationships, hobbies, and general lifestyle. A significant injury can be devastating, taking a personal and financial toll. If that injury is caused by someone else’s negligence or misconduct, you deserve proper compensation for how your life is altered. The experienced personal injury attorneys at The Law Offices of Jason K.S. Porter, P.A. will fight for just remuneration.

Florida's Personal Injury Law

Personal injury falls under tort law. Torts can be caused by intentional wrongdoing, negligence, or strict liability (generally the manufacture of a defective product).

Florida recognizes “Comparative Negligence” if you had any responsibility in the accident. Comparative negligence is a tort rule that allocates damages when both parties are somewhat at fault. The degree in which you are deemed at fault affects how much damages you may be entitled.

Florida has a limit on punitive damages, depending on the case. Punitive damages are designed to discourage the defendant from repeating the actions that resulted in the injury. The limit you can be awarded is up to three times the amount of the compensatory damages, or $500,000, whichever is greater. The damage limits are higher in malpractice cases as well as cases where the defendant’s misconduct was designed for financial gain.

What Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

Each personal injury case is different. Compensation depends on the victim’s individual circumstances. The accident’s severity and your ability to recover are important factors. Emergency care, surgeries, ongoing rehabilitation, lost wages, and the overall impact on your life affect personal injury compensation.

You should never lie or exaggerate your injuries. You should never downplay them either. Our goal is to recover the maximum amount for your case. We know your cases is often worth well more than offered by an individual, a business or insurance company. We will help you identify each loss and expense plus help you establish the value of your pain and suffering.

Documents that can help support your case include:

  • Work attendance reports
  • Repair estimates (to vehicle, home, etc.)
  • Medical bills
  • Medical records
  • Paycheck statements
  • Out-of-pocket expenses

    "I will never be able to thank Jason Porter enough."
    Jason Porter has helped me on two separate occasions and both times his attention to detail really impressed me. His staff is wonderful and easy to work with. The second time I worked with Jason Porter, he turned what I thought was a hopeless situation into a miracle. He literally got me my life back by getting the charges reduced. His experience as a trial lawyer came in handy when he had to work with the district attorney to change the judge's mind on my case. Jason Porter has a calming demeanor and he instilled confidence when going over the details of my case. I tended to be pessimistic, but Jason Porter would always reassure me and keep me positive. I will never be able to thank Jason Porter enough for all that he has done for me and my family. I hope I never need a lawyer again, but if I do I know I can count on Jason Porter to give me my best chance at a favorable outcome.

    "Excellent attorneys and staff"
    My family has worked with Mr. Porter several times over the years. Each of our experiences were different but the outcome was the same. We all had extremely positive results. I have referred many friends and family to Mr. Porter for assistance, and I will continue to highly recommend the firm to anyone in need of legal services.

    "Jason answered all my emails and phone calls."
    There is nothing like the fear and uncertainty the legal system brings to keep you up at night, especially when it involves your child. For this reason selecting an attorney was one of the most daunting and important decisions I made; after much research that’s why I chose Jason Porter. Throughout the legal process Jason answered all my emails and phone calls, he figuratively provided the hand holding my son and mostly I needed to be reassured the outcome would be in our favor. Needless to say the outcome was in our favor and I could not have been more pleased with Jason’s service. I was so pleased with Jason’s professionalism and legal savvy that I asked if he practices law outside of criminal defense, so I could use his services for all my legal needs. He will always receive my business in the future.

    "I was very impressed with Mr. Porter & his staff."
    I was very impressed with Mr. Porter & his staff. They just appear to be winners and I would be proud to be affiliated with them.

    "I would refer anyone to this firm"
    It always baffled me how much both Jason and Gary knew about the intricacies of my case at any given time. These guys work for, and show up to court for, their CLIENTS - in other words, they're not cutting a bunch of deals to clear dockets. I will never go anywhere else for legal advice - these guys are the real deal.
