Are There Limits on Recoveries? |
![]()
Some states have enacted laws which put caps or limits on the maximum amounts people can recover in certain types of cases. Most of these caps apply in personal injury or medical malpractice cases and will not affect legal malpractice cases, unless of course the legal malpractice occurred in connection with a lawyer handling a capped personal injury case, in which case the same cap on what you could have recovered in the first case would ordinarily carry over to your legal malpractice case. You will need to check with a lawyer in your state as to what types of damages are recoverable and whether there are any limitations on the amounts.
At the moment Florida does not have caps on general damages for legal malpractice cases, except as they might have applied to underlying cases the lawyer was handling.
