Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault for the accident. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you’re found to be 20% responsible, your total recovery would be reduced by that amount.
The timeline for settling a truck accident case in Florida varies based on the complexity of the accident, the severity of injuries, and whether fault is disputed. Some cases may settle in a few months, while others can take over a year, especially if litigation is necessary.
You have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in most cases. Acting quickly helps preserve evidence and strengthen your case.
