Proving Negligence in Florida

In order to win a personal injury case in Florida, you must prove that the other party was negligent. This involves establishing the following elements:

• Duty of Care: The responsible party had a legal obligation to act in a certain way to ensure the safety of others.
• Breach of Duty: The responsible party failed to meet that obligation.
• Causation: The breach of duty caused your injuries.
• Damages: You suffered actual damages (e.g., medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering).
