Florida Construction Accident Lawyer

What happens when you are injured in a construction accident where a government agency may be to blame?

In cases involving an accident on a florida construction site and municipal laws, the law firm of Robert J. Fenstersheib tackles tough issues on behalf of our clients. We must ask questions like: Were these accidents the result of human error, poor road design, or confusing signage? And who should pay the price for these lives and injuries?

In certain states, government immunity limits the amount of damages accident victims can recover. If you meet requirements to pursue a claim against a government agency, you can then face a maximum liability cap.

Example: In a recent case involving a Florida busway crash, there was a $1 million cap for the group of people injured. There was a $250,000 cap on each person who files a claim.

If a hazardous construction sites caused an accident resulting in an injury to you, Florida law allows you to collect from state or local municipalities for many of the injuries that occur on their roadways. Keep the following points in mind:

• If you are going to file a claim against a governmental entity such as the state, or one of its agencies, you must put that agency on written notice within six months from the date that an accident occurred.
• There are limits for money damages that can be collected from Florida or local Florida municipalities:
  • In Florida, there is a maximum of $250,000 per plaintiff or $1 Million per accident.
  • The limits for a local municipality are $500,000 per plaintiff or $500,000 per accident.

When dealing with a potential case against a government agency, we recommend that you seek the advice of a florida attorney. Because of the time limits required in these types of cases, it is important that an investigation be started quickly. Evidence disappears - construction is completed and signs are removed, barriers are replaced or installed etc. In addition, these cases are complex and difficult to prove. There often is a need to hire engineers, accident reconstruction experts, or other experts to prove and win these cases.
