Types of Personal Injury Damages You Can Recover
Our goal as your Santa Rosa Beach personal injury attorney is to secure compensation that covers all of your losses, not just the obvious ones. In Florida, you may be entitled to:
Economic Damages
These are the direct financial losses from your accident. We fight to recover every dollar for:
- All past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and income from missed work
- Diminished earning capacity if you cannot return to your job
- Physical therapy and rehabilitation costs
Non-Economic Damages
This is compensation for the significant, personal, and non-financial toll the injury has taken on your life, including:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of companionship
Punitive Damages
In some cases of extreme recklessness (like an accident caused by a repeat drunk driver on US 98), we can pursue punitive damages. These are not intended to compensate you but to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar behavior in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Santa Rosa Beach?
You pay absolutely nothing upfront. Our Santa Rosa Beach law firm works on a contingency fee basis. This means we cover all the costs of building and fighting your case. We only get paid if we win a settlement or verdict for you. If you don't recover compensation, you owe us nothing.
How much is my personal injury claim worth?
There is no simple answer, as every case is different. The value depends on the severity of your injuries, the total of your medical bills (past and future), your lost wages, and the impact on your quality of life. During your free consultation, we can review the facts of your case and give you an honest assessment of its potential value.
What is the deadline for filing an injury claim in Florida?
The 'statute of limitations' in Florida for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you will be permanently barred from seeking compensation. It is critical to contact a Santa Rosa Beach personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
When should I consult with a personal injury attorney in Florida?
Consult with a personal injury attorney in the following situations:
- You suffered severe injuries from an accident.
- There is disputed liability or an insurance company unfairly denied your claim.
- A negligent party caused a fatality in your immediate family.
- Injuries from dog bites, defective products, medical malpractice, or slip-and-fall accidents
