Any personal injury case in Florida requires the plaintiff to establish proof of their damages, a duty of safety, a breach in that duty of safety, and a cause for the accident. Defendants will need to add knowledge that they breached a duty and that the accident and the injuries that were suffered by the plaintiff were a direct breach of that duty.
Keeping a record of injuries as well as the consequences of the injuries is a massive requirement for evidence and the plaintiff needs to be extremely diligent in keeping notes and managing the process of the evidence in their case. Plaintiffs can often recover before any type of compensation is paid out through the case but it’s a massive responsibility of the plaintiff to continually gather new evidence that’s related to their case.
Plaintiffs cannot rely on any type of speculation and the facts of the case need to be gathered and proved in a court of law. Working with an attorney can let you know more about how you can appropriately prepare your case and determine the element of causation in Florida. From the perspective of a plaintiff, the main thing that you will need to consider is gathering all of the evidence and notes that are associated with your case as it unfolds.
