What is a personal injury claim?

A personal injury claim may arise when another party’s negligent, reckless, or wrongful conduct causes physical, emotional, or financial harm. The responsible party might be a driver, business, property owner, employer, product manufacturer, or another person or organization.

Not every injury creates a legal case. The central questions are how the injury happened, who had a legal duty to act safely, whether that duty was breached, what evidence supports the claim, and what losses resulted. An early case evaluation can help answer those questions before evidence disappears or an insurance company pressures you to settle.

Personal injury cases The Jaspon Firm evaluates

Why clients choose The Jaspon Firm after an accident

The Jaspon Firm is intentionally focused on serious auto accident cases and select premises-liability claims. Jeremiah Jaspon personally reviews new cases and remains directly involved throughout the representation. Clients are not passed from one department to another or left wondering who is actually handling their claim.

That direct approach matters after an injury. A strong claim requires more than sending medical bills to an insurer. It requires understanding how the accident happened, identifying all available insurance coverage, preserving evidence, documenting treatment and work loss, and explaining how an injury has changed a real person’s life.

The Jaspon Firm represents injured people throughout Orlando and Central Florida. Many cases arise on busy roads and intersections, in parking areas, around tourist destinations, and on commercial property throughout Orange County and nearby communities.

Florida injury claim basics

After an auto accident, Florida’s insurance rules and deadlines can affect the claim. Initial services and care generally must occur within 14 days after a motor-vehicle accident to qualify for PIP medical benefits. In many negligence cases, a two-year limitations period applies, but the correct deadline depends on the facts and type of claim.

• Florida PIP insurance statute
• Florida comparative-fault statute
• Florida limitations statute

These laws are not a substitute for advice about a specific case. The available coverage, responsible parties, injuries, and deadlines should be reviewed individually.

What compensation may be available?

The value of an injury claim depends on the facts. No attorney can responsibly promise a particular outcome. When another party is legally responsible and insurance or assets are available, a claim may seek compensation for losses such as:

• Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, prescriptions, and medical treatment
• Physical therapy, rehabilitation, medical equipment, and future care
• Lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and lost business income
• Pain, suffering, disability, scarring, and loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage and other accident-related expenses
• Wrongful-death damages for qualifying family members and an estate after a fatal injury

Insurance companies are not the final word

An adjuster may seem helpful, but the insurance company’s job is to evaluate and resolve claims for the insurer. It may dispute fault, question the seriousness of an injury, blame a pre-existing condition, argue that treatment was unnecessary, or make an early offer before the full effect of an injury is known.

Jeremiah Jaspon helps clients organize the information an insurer will examine: accident reports, photos, witness accounts, video, medical records, lost-income documentation, policy information, and evidence of how the injury changed everyday life. The goal is not to accept an insurer’s first story of what happened, but to build a claim around the facts.

What to do after an injury caused by someone else

Can I bring a claim if I was partly at fault?

Possibly. Florida generally applies modified comparative fault in negligence cases. A person’s recovery may be reduced by their percentage of responsibility, and a person found more than 50% at fault generally cannot recover in a negligence action, subject to statutory exceptions. The evidence and circumstances of each case matter. Read Florida’s current comparative-fault statute.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

Many Florida negligence claims are subject to a two-year limitations period, but the correct deadline can vary based on the type of case, parties involved, and other facts. Government claims, medical negligence, wrongful death, and other situations may have distinct rules. Do not rely on a general deadline for your specific case. Review the current Florida limitations statute.
