Under Florida law, you are entitled to recover money damages for your injury if a party failed to act reasonably or breached a duty owed to you, and that as a foreseeable & proximate result of that breach or failure to act, you sustained permanent and severe injuries.
The two types of money damages that are recoverable under Florida law are Economic Damages (past & future medical expenses, past & future lost wages) and Non-Economic Damages (pain and suffering, disability or physical impairment, scarring or disfigurement, mental anguish, inconvenience, or loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life experienced in the past or to be experienced in the future). Non-Economic Damages are only recoverable if you suffered a “permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability”, which is usually determined by an expert opinion from a medical doctor.
