Under Florida law, personal injury victims are entitled to receive money as compensation for economic and non- economic damages. Economic damages that may be recovered include medical and hospital bills, past wage loss, future loss of earning capacity, services replacement expenses and other out of pocket financial burdens. Non-Economic or “human” damages can be available for physical pain and suffering, mental anguish, disability, scarring, disfigurement, and inability to lead a normal life which resulted from negligent, careless, or reckless acts.

If a pre-existing injury has been aggravated, damages for the aggravation can be recovered under Florida law. However, serious injury is not enough to be entitled to recover money under Florida law. The victim must also prove the wrongdoer’s negligence, or simple carelessness, which is the basis for most cases.
