Hurt By Someone Else’s Negligence?
Justice Is Just a Phone Call Away.
Fighting for just compensation for your personal injury is straightforward when you trust your case to our skilled and compassionate legal team.
Why Pursue a Personal Injury Case?
Though monetary compensation will never completely make up for pain and suffering caused by a serious accident or by the tragic loss of a loved one, our goal at Clark Fountain is to help restore you to a state of security and comfort as you move forward in your life.
Many personal injury claims can be compensated in one or all of the following areas:
- Medical Treatment: This covers present and future treatment for your injury.
- Income Lost Due to Injury: This covers previous and future lost wages because of injury.
- Property Loss Due to Accident: This covers reimbursement for repair or compensation for fair market value of property lost.
- Pain and Suffering: This covers compensation for present and future pain and discomfort due to the injury.
- Emotional Distress: This compensates an individual for the psychological impact of an injury, including fear, anxiety, and sleep loss.
- Loss of Enjoyment: This compensates you for the inability to enjoy day-to-day pursuits.
- Loss of Consortium: This compensates you for an impaired relationship with your spouse due to injury.
Variables That May Affect an Award for Damages
If you have been deemed partially to blame for the accident that caused your injuries, you may receive a lower damages award or, in some states, none at all. Another potential cause for an awards reduction may be if you failed to pursue proper and timely medical treatment for your injuries. Be sure to contact Clark Fountain today for a complimentary evaluation of your case. We will inform you of your legal rights and options.

When Can I File a Lawsuit for My Personal Injury?
Under Florida Law, there is no criteria that must be met in order to file a lawsuit for a personal injury you sustained. The only exception is when it comes to injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident. Florida is a no-fault state, which means that drivers involved in an accident are compensated through their insurer regardless of who caused the collision. Anyone who drives in Florida is legally obligated to have no fault insurance coverage.
If you have been in a car accident that resulted in serious injury, you can recover the following economic damages from your insurance carrier:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
If you want to file a claim for mental and physical pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, you must first make sure that your injury meets one of the following 4 thresholds:
- Significant and permanent loss of one of your important bodily functions
- Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of probability
- Significant and permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Death
What Is Considered a Serious Injury?
Accident injuries that impede your ability to walk or make it difficult to lift or carry things for an extended period of time are considered serious injuries, as long as the injury in question meets the criteria we listed above. If your accident meets all of the necessary qualifiers, you can take legal action to pursue compensation for your injuries.
