Types of Damages for Plaintiffs in Winter Park Truck Accident Cases
When you file a truck accident claim, you can seek compensation for your losses. Under Florida law (Florida Statutes §§ 768.71 through 768.79), truck accident victims can be eligible to receive two different types of compensatory damages:
- Economic damages, which compensate a victim for direct financial losses (like hospital bills, surgery costs, and lost wages); and
- Noneconomic damages, which compensate a victim for subjective losses that are not evenly quantified (like pain and suffering or disfigurement).
Just like the name suggests, compensatory damages are designed to compensate a plaintiff for losses associated with the accident and her injuries. In addition, in some cases plaintiffs may be eligible to seek punitive damages. Punitive damages are not designed to compensate, but rather to punish especially bad conduct by the defendant. They are not awarded very often, and a plaintiff is required to make a case that there is a reasonable basis upon which she could recover this type of damages. Generally speaking, in order to recover punitive damages, a plaintiff must be able to prove that the defendant is liable for intentional misconduct or gross negligence. The statute defines “gross negligence” as conduct that “was so reckless or wanting in care that it constituted a conscious disregard or indifference to the life, safety, or rights of persons exposed to such conduct.”

“The Benenati law firm makes you believe that you are the single most important PERSON (not case) to them. Throughout the entire process, they maintained weekly contact with me, asking how I was doing or if I needed anything. I was provided with frequent updates as to how my case was progressing and was pleasantly surprised with the speed at which they were able to reach a substantial settlement. I've had the unfortunate experience of dealing with other well-known personal injury attorneys in Orlando who were unable to provide the level of expertise, care and service that Walter Benenati and his team can!”

“My experience with the Benenati Law Firm in Orlando was a great experience. They helped right away after a heartbreaking experience at another law firm. THEY MADE MORE PROGRESS IN MY CASE IN TWO MONTHS THAN 2 YEARS WITH MY FORMER LAW FIRM. I am so grateful.”
