Do I Have an Ocala Personal Injury Case?

If you’ve been injured due to someone else – whether intentionally or in an accident – there is at least a possibility you have a case. The best way to know whether you have a case is to speak to our Ocala injury attorneys. We’ll be able to look into your situation and let you know whether you have a case during your free evaluation.

Factors to consider are:

Whether you have suffered losses due to the incident – especially financial losses. If you haven’t, you might not have a case because there is nothing for the court to compensate you for.
If the at-fault party must have at least been careless in their behavior for you to have a case. The majority of cases require you to demonstrate the negligence of the other party in order to prevail.

Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you hire an attorney in Ocala, you’re giving yourself the best chance to achieve a favorable outcome for your injury claim.

Reasons why this is the situation include:

Lawyers have access to experts, such as accident reconstructionists and forensic economists, that can greatly improve the strength of your claim. These experts can also testify on your behalf if your case makes it to trial.
The other party to your case will likely have a legal team to assist them. Insurance agencies have entire legal departments dedicated to limiting their liability. With an attorney on your side, you will help to level that playing field.
It’s also likely true that the other side will try to blame you for the accident. If they succeed in doing so, you might leave empty-handed because of Florida’s pure comparative negligence rules. A lawyer can help you effectively defend yourself against these allegations.

Personal Injury Practice Areas in Ocala, Florida

We regularly represent clients in all personal injury matters. Our practice areas include:

Car Accidents

Car accidents are common in Florida. Under Florida’s no-fault insurance rules, you will have to use to your own insurance provider to recover PIP insurance policy benefits after an Ocala car accident. However, sometimes PIP benefits aren’t enough to cover the full expenses of an automobile accident. And, often, insurance adjusters attempt to wriggle out of their responsibility to pay you everything you should get. Our Ocala car accident lawyers will help you navigate the injury claims process and, if necessary, pivot to file a civil lawsuit against the other driver or the guilty parties.

Truck Accident lawyers in Ocala, Florida

Truck Accidents

Navigating these vehicles safely requires too much attention. Unfortunately, drivers are often distracted, overtired, or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. So, truck accidents happen. It’s usually other parties who suffer the consequences. Our Ocala truck accident attorneys will work diligently to determine why it happened and who must be held accountable for the catastrophic consequences.

Motorcycle Accidents

Drivers don’t always like sharing the road with motorcyclists. Their actions behind the wheel make that clear. Tailgating, speeding past riders, and aggressive lane maneuvers aren’t uncommon. This behavior can and do put riders at risk and cause motorcycle accidents. To make matters worse, they can have the audacity to blame the riders for wrecks when they occur. Our Ocala motorcycle accident lawyers know that, often, the rider shares little-to-no real blame. We’re here to help you prove that and hold negligent motorists accountable for your injuries.

Wrongful Death

When an accident is fatal, the person or parties responsible can’t just be allowed to walk away without consequence. And, while money might not turn back time and losing a family member is complex, wrongful death claims can help to provide tremendous relief to grieving family members for years to come. That’s why our Ocala wrongful death lawyers will work around the clock, if necessary, to secure a little bit of justice for families who are grieving a devastating loss.

We also represent clients in all injury matters including those who have been injured as a result of:

What is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

There are many different factors that will ultimately influence what your settlement or jury verdict is worth.

How severe are your injuries?
What are your current medical costs? What kind of medical bills will you have?
Will your injuries prevent you from going back to work – temporarily and/or permanently?
What are the costs associated with replacing or repairing damaged property?
How has the accident and your injuries affected you emotionally and/or psychologically?
Do you share any of the blame for your injuries?

Generally speaking, the more serious the injuries, the higher a related injury claim for damages will be valued. Compensation typically covers a wide range of losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, and emotional distress.

You can trust that our personal injury attorneys in Ocala will work hard to make sure that you get every cent you need.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Ocala, FL Cost?

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

Most personal injury attorneys in Ocala operate on a contingency fee basis. This means you don’t pay unless we win. There are no up-front costs. The attorney takes care of the administrative expenses, filing fees, and all litigation-related bills.

At Allen Law, we also work on a contingency fee arrangement. We only get paid if and when we negotiate a settlement or win a reward for your case. When we win, we earn a pre-agreed-upon percentage of your net winnings.

There is zero risk in setting up an initial consultation and hiring our personal injury law firm. No win. No fee. Reach out to us today to learn more.

What Types of Damages Are Available to Accident Victims in North Central Florida?

In Florida, compensatory damages fall into the following categories: economic and non economic damages.

Economic damages are those awarded to make up for the verifiable financial losses associated with injuries.

Examples include:

Medical bills
Lost wages and income
Disability
Reduced earning capacity
Property damage
Funeral and burial expenses (if an accident results in wrongful death)

Non-economic damages, on the other hand, are awarded to compensate for the consequences of an accident that aren’t as easy to value in terms of dollars and cents.

These include:

In limited instances, punitive damages – those awarded to punish the defendant – might also be on the table. However, there must be clear and convincing evidence that the defendant acted intentionally or with gross negligence.

Our legal experts will exhaust every avenue as we work to identify the damages to which you’re entitled and strive to maximize your recovery.

Personal Injury FAQs

What is the Statute of Limitations for a Personal Injury Case?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is generally two years from the date of the injury or accident.

There are some exceptions to this rule. It is possible that you can really have more or less time. One thing is certain, however. You lose the right to recover anything, at all, if you miss the deadline that applies to your case.

Do not let compensation slip through your fingers because of a procedural technicality. Get us involved from the get-go. We will work to negotiate a fair settlement with insurance providers, but keep an eye on the clock, too. If the settlement doesn’t pan out or if your damages exceed the benefits that are available, we will be ready to take your case to the next level.

The majority of personal injury cases are founded on the theory that our clients were injured because of the neglect of someone else. So, what is negligence, anyway?

Negligence is when someone had a responsibility to act in a certain way, didn’t, and, as a result, caused damage to another person.

Proving negligence involves establishing four separate elements:

- Duty: The defendant (person being sued) owed the plaintiff (the person damaged) a duty of care. This means that the defendant had a legal obligation to act in such a way that would keep the plaintiff reasonably safe.

- Breach: The defendant did not satisfy the duty of care that was owed to the plaintiff. Their actions (or inaction) were insufficient to keep the defendant safe.

- Causation: The defendant’s conduct is the direct and proximate cause of harm to the plaintiff. This is:
  - - The plaintiff wouldn’t have been harmed “but for” the defendant’s conduct, and
  - - The plaintiff’s injury was a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the defendant’s behavior

- Damages: the defendant’s conduct must have caused the plaintiff some type of injury or damage. This could be physical (e.g., broken bones, brain injury, whiplash), psychological (e.g., PTSD, anxiety), or economic (e.g., repairing a damaged vehicle, medical bills).

Your case is too important to seek out just any attorney. You want to work with a lawyer who really understands what you’re up against and knows how the system works. That comes from having represented cases like yours and knowing how to handle them.

Contact an experienced personal injury lawyer our law office in Ocala to arrange an appointment to evaluate your accident case. Your first consultation is always free.

Florida is a modified comparative negligence state. This means you can still recover compensation after an accident—even if you share some blame—as long as you’re less than 51% at fault. Your financial recovery will be reduced in proportion to your responsibility. For instance, if you’re found 10% at fault in a crash with $100,000 in damages, you’d receive $90,000.

Insurance companies often try to shift blame to minimize payouts. That’s why it’s critical to have a skilled legal team to protect your rights. At Allen Law, we gather strong evidence—medical records, witness statements, security footage, and more—to defend your claim and pursue maximum compensation. If you’ve been injured, let us fight for fair compensation so you can focus on what’s most important: recovering and getting the treatment you need.

Statistically speaking, it is unlikely that your case will go to trial. Even if it does go to court, it can still settle all the way up to (and even during) trial. Most personal injury cases settle before making it to court in the first place.

However, it can be beneficial to keep the possibility of litigation in court above the defendant’s head, so to speak. One reason for that is that if your case reaches court, our legal experts will have access to the pretrial discovery process. This process could reveal the necessary evidence to prove it. In other words, the threat of court and trial could increase your bargaining power significantly.

If you choose Allen Law to take on your case, we will make it a priority to maximize the value of your claim. We won’t be afraid to go to court or trial for you if that’s what’s best for the situation.
