Your Personal Injury Legal Questions Answered
What Steps Should I Take Right After a Personal Injury Accident?
After an accident, get medical attention right away, document the scene with photos and witness details, and contact a personal injury attorney promptly to protect your rights and build your case.
What is the Deadline for Filing a Personal Injury Claim?
In Florida, you typically have two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury claim. However, certain factors can affect this timeline, so it's best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected.
What types of damages can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may be entitled to recover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, and, in some cases, punitive damages. Every case is unique, so an attorney can help determine which damages apply to your situation.
Do I have to pay upfront for legal representation?
No, most personal injury attorneys—like us—work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case or secure a settlement for you.
How long will it take to settle my personal injury case?
The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the case, the severity of your injuries, and whether a settlement is reached or a trial is necessary. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or more. Your attorney will work to resolve your case as efficiently and fairly as possible.
What happens if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Don’t accept a settlement without speaking to an attorney first. Insurance companies often offer low amounts to close cases quickly. A personal injury attorney can review the offer, assess the true value of your claim, and negotiate to ensure you receive fair compensation.
Can I still file a claim if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Yes, under Florida’s comparative negligence law, you may still recover damages even if you were partially at fault—as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. An attorney can help determine how this applies to your case.
We provide dedicated legal representation for personal injury cases. Our experienced attorneys work tirelessly to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Contact us today for a free consultation. Your recovery is our priority.
