How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

You have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. This statute of limitations changed in March 2023 under HB 837. It used to be four years. Now it is two. If you miss the deadline, your case is dismissed, and you cannot recover compensation.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis. That means you pay nothing up front. We cover all case expenses including expert fees, court filing fees, and investigation costs. We only get paid if we win your case. Our fee comes out of your settlement or verdict, not out of your pocket.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are partially at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are 20% at fault and your damages total $100,000, you recover $80,000. If you are more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.

How long will my case take?

It depends on the case. Some cases settle in a few months. Others take a year or more, especially if the case goes to trial. The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries, the insurance company's willingness to negotiate, and whether liability is disputed.

What damages can I recover in a personal injury case?

You can recover economic damages like medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. You can also recover non-economic damages like pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent disability or disfigurement.

Do I need to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle before trial. But we prepare every case as if it will go to trial. That preparation gives us leverage in settlement negotiations. If the insurance company will not make a fair offer, we file the lawsuit and take the case to court.

Should I talk to the insurance adjuster?

No. The insurance adjuster is not on your side. They work for the insurance company, and their job is to pay you as little as possible. Anything you say can be used against you. Let us handle all communication with the insurance company.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?

If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, you may still have options. Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage can cover your damages. We file a claim against your own insurance company. They are required to pay up to your policy limits.
