Personal Injury FAQ
How much does a consultation cost?
Injury case evaluations are generally free. We’ll discuss your situation and explain your options before you decide how to move forward.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Florida law sets specific deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, for filing injury claims, and these vary depending on the type of case. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to understand the deadlines that may apply to your situation. A recent statutory change shortened the time for negligence victims to file suit from four years to two.
What if I was partly at fault for my injury?
Florida’s modified comparative negligence rules may still allow you to recover compensation even if you share some responsibility. We can help evaluate how this may apply to your case.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury claims are resolved through negotiation, but we prepare every case as though it may proceed to trial, and will discuss the right approach for your specific circumstances.
