Marie Schoeb 4 LAWYER MONTHLY APRIL 2024 What are the top causes of personal injuries in Florida? The umbrella of “personal injury” law is home to many different sub-categories. At the most basic level, personal injury cases most commonly arise from the negligence of one party that resulted in injuries and other related damages to the other party. Negligence is broken down into four elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. For example, in a car accident, if the at-fault party runs a red light and T-bones another vehicle that had the right-of-way, the victim of that accident would need to prove: 1) that the at-fault driver had a duty to drive their vehicle in a re asonably safe manner, 2) the at-fault driver breached that duty by failing to pay attention and drive in a reasonably safe manner, 3) the at-fault driver’s breach of that duty caused the injuries and other related damage to the victim, 4) what those damages are (injuries, past lost wages, past and future pain and suffering, loss of future earning capacity, etc…). Car accidents and premises liability (including slip-and-falls, and other similar cases with injuries caused by an unsafe condition on the premises of an individual or entity) are of the two most common types of personal injury cases. Licensed to practice law in all Florida State Courts and Federally in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Marie embarked on her career as a Prosecutor in Florida’s Sixth Judicial Circuit.
