What are the Comparative Fault Laws in Florida?
Negligent security accident claims in Florida fall under comparative negligence laws. This means that an award for compensation will be reduced in accordance with the percentage of the victim’s liability.
For example, if the victim is shown to have contributed 40% to their injuries, and their damages total $100,000, they will only be entitled to $60,000 in compensation. It is crucial to work with a skilled lawyer who can prove you were not responsible in any way for your injuries so that you can recover the maximum amount of compensation.
What is the Negligent Security Statute of Limitations?
In Florida, an individual must file a negligent security claim within two years of the date of the injury. If the deadline is not met, the claim will not be accepted.
