Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Claim in Florida?
Most negligence cases must be filed within two years from the date of injury, but exceptions can apply depending on the type of claim and the parties involved. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What If I Am Partially at Fault for the Accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault. If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you may be barred from recovery.
How Do Contingency Fees Work?
You pay no attorney’s fee unless there is a recovery. Case costs may be deducted from a settlement or verdict according to your fee agreement, which your attorney will explain up front.
Before you speak with the insurance company, keep these guidelines in mind:
- Avoid giving statements about fault, your injuries, or how the crash occurred until you have legal advice.
- Do not sign documents such as medical releases or settlement offers without understanding how they affect your rights.
- Directly adjusters to your lawyer so your Tallahassee injury attorney can manage all communications on your behalf.
What Compensation Can I Pursue?
Depending on the case, damages may include medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. Serious injuries may also involve scarring, disability, or loss of enjoyment of life.
What Evidence Will Help My Case?
Photos and video of the scene, incident or crash reports, witness names, medical records, bills, and proof of lost income. Keep all documents and avoid posting about the incident on social media.
How Long Will My Case Take?
Timelines vary with injury severity, treatment length, liability disputes, and insurance limits. Many cases resolve in settlement, but your lawyer should prepare as if a trial is possible to maximize leverage.
