Your Ocala Burn Injury Lawyer Can Identify the Responsible Party
To obtain compensation for your burn injury, you must determine who is responsible for causing it. The evidence your Ocala burn attorney collects should lead them to identify negligence. This standard consists of four parts:
- Duty of care: The individual or entity had a responsibility to act with safety and health in mind.
- Breach of duty: They failed to protect you from harm.
- Causation: This failure caused an accident.
- Damages: You’re now dealing with the financial and non-financial consequences of their negligent action or inaction.
In some cases, multiple parties may carry responsibility for your burns. In that case, our lawyers will identify all of them and fight to ensure they compensate you fairly.
You Must File Your Ocala Burn Injury Lawsuit Before the Deadline
Between the severe pain and trying to regain a sense of normalcy, it’s understandable why you wouldn’t want to jump into building a legal case right away. However, this is where our lawyers can come in and tackle the legal process for you. It’s important that you get in touch with us as soon as possible after your burn injury.
Generally speaking, Florida Statutes § 95.11 allows two years for personal injury and wrongful death claimants to sue liable parties for negligence. Those filing for nursing home abuse have the same amount of time, per Florida Statutes § 400.0236.
Certain exceptions might shorten or extend the filing window, but that doesn’t happen very often. In any event, trying to file suit after the deadline may prompt a judge to reject it. With enough warning, one of our Ocala personal injury attorneys can help you file your suit before the deadline expires.
