We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing out of pocket. Our fees are a percentage of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you. If we don’t win, you don’t pay.

The time limit, known as the statute of limitations, varies by state and the specifics of your case. In the State of Florida it was recently reduced to two years from the date of the incident. However, it’s crucial to act quickly to preserve your rights, and claims tend to be stronger when they’re presented immediately. Contact us for a free consultation to discuss your case’s timeline.

Seek medical attention right away, even if you don’t think you’re seriously injured. Document everything—take photos, gather witness information, report it either to the police or the owner of the property where you were injured, and contact our office as soon as possible.

Each case is unique. Some may settle in a few months, while others might take years. Generally speaking, the cases involving high dollar amount claims, more significant injuries, and more lengthy medical treatment do take longer. It is important that you ensure you are aware of the full extent of your injuries before discussing any settlement, as settlements are typically final, meaning you will be prevented from pursuing any further claims once a settlement is reached, even if you injuries ended up being more substantial than you thought. A good injury attorney should not only be focused on obtaining a settlement on your behalf, but should also ensure that you have first obtained sufficient medical treatment and opinions so that you can understand the full impact of your injuries before considering a settlement.

The vast majority of personal injury cases settle out of court, but they do on rare occasions go to trial. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. Our opinion is that a well-prepared case that is ready to be tried often times settles when the insurance company realizes how well prepared you and your lawyer are.

Compensation can include damages such as past and future medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The specifics depend on the details of your case, but in general, when you have a liability claim brought against a business, insurance company or an individual, the settlement typically includes all of those type of damages calculated together. In other words, during a liability claim, the responsible entity or their insurer does not pay your medical bills for you directly the way that health insurance does. They will assess the damages and offer a single settlement offer intended to resolve all of the claims in their entirety. The amount that your claim is valued at is often disputed in liability claims and that is why it is important to have a skilled injury attorney on your side. We work diligently to maximize your compensation.

While you have the right to represent yourself, having an experienced attorney involved right away can significantly improve your chances of obtaining a favorable outcome. We know the laws, procedures, and tactics necessary to build a strong case.
