Elements of Negligence in a Personal Injury Claim
To establish a personal injury claim, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant was negligent and that their negligence caused the plaintiff’s injuries.
Four essential elements of negligence must be proven:
- Duty of Care: This refers to the defendant’s responsibility to act with reasonable care towards the plaintiff.
- Breach of Duty: This occurs when the defendant fails to meet their duty of care, resulting in harm to the plaintiff.
- Causation: The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s actions or omissions directly caused their harm with evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and expert testimony
- Damages: The plaintiff must demonstrate that they suffered actual harm or injury as a result of the defendant’s actions.
Medical Expenses
Personal injuries from motor vehicle accidents often can lead to significant medical costs, both immediate and ongoing. Our team works to ensure that all medical expenses, including future treatment costs, are covered.
Lost Wages
If you’ve missed work due to your injury, you may be entitled to recover lost wages. Additionally, if your injury affects your long-term ability to work, we will pursue compensation for future lost income.
Pain and Suffering
Beyond financial losses suffered and injuries sustained, accident victims often experience pain, emotional distress, and a diminished quality of life. Our Tampa personal injury lawyers ensure that these human damages are considered in your claim.

FAQs About Florida Personal Injury Law
Why Do I Need a Personal Injury Lawyer in Tampa?
A personal injury lawyer is crucial to navigating the legal process and negotiating with insurance companies. Insurance companies may not give you the full picture, and they are businesses that want to be profitable. Without legal counsel and representation, you risk accepting an insurance settlement far below what you deserve.
How Do I Choose the Right Injury Lawyer?
Experience. This is the most important thing to look for—many attorneys promote themselves as personal injury lawyers, but personal injury law may only make up a small portion of their work. A firm with a strong team of lawyers and a long history of providing service to clients and their communities is ideal.
Communication. Another essential quality to look for is strong communication. It’s well known that lawyers are busy, but that’s no excuse for not returning calls and emails promptly. Communication is a vital part of a solid client-attorney relationship. Having an attorney who keeps you updated on your case can help you feel more at ease throughout the process.
Client reviews. Finally, by reading reviews, you can see what others say about the Tampa personal injury attorney you have in mind.
At KFB Law, we prioritize client relationships and offer a free case review to help you make an informed decision.
Who Pays for My Medical Bills and Damages?
In Florida, personal injury protection (PIP) and bodily injury liability insurance may cover your damages. If a former insurance company or uninsured driver is responsible, we will explore all avenues to secure compensation.
Will My Case Go to Court?
Many personal injury litigation cases are settled out of court. Ideally, we want to save our clients the potential stress and time involved in a lawsuit if there is a reasonable chance to negotiate a settlement outside of court.
However, if a fair settlement can’t be reached, our attorneys are prepared to take your personal injury lawsuit to trial and fight for your rights.
How Long Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
Legal filing time limits in Florida follow a statute of limitations for four years from the time of injury. This means you can file a lawsuit for up to four years from the time of your traumatic event.
What Do They Mean by Negligence?
Negligence means that a person does not act in the way of a reasonable person. There are four elements under Florida case law: duty, breach, proximate causation, and damages.
In simple terms, this means that someone had a reasonable obligation to you, did not fulfill it, caused injury, and now there are damages due to the injury. This is where a highly experienced legal professional can help you demonstrate negligence.
