Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Personal Injury in Florida
1. How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only owe legal fees and costs if we win your case.
2. What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows comparative negligence laws, meaning you can still recover compensation, but it may be reduced based on your level of fault. If you are mostly at fault, there will be no recovery under current Florida law.
3. How long will my case take?
Each case is different, but most personal injury claims settle within a few months. If litigation is required, the process may take longer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to pay the attorney if I lose?
No. We operate under the agreement with you that if we cannot obtain a recovery for your claim, you owe us nothing for fees and costs.
What is involved in an accident claim?
All tort claims involve your attorney establishing liability and damages. Basically, who’s fault is the accident and how bad were you hurt. In Florida, we must analyze any comparative fault to see how much fault can be charged against you by a jury if the case proceeds to trial. For damages, we must calculate the total cost of your medical damages as well as any other costs of the accident you have suffered. This could include lost wages and property loss.
Can I recover from pain and suffering?
Florida does not allow for recovering of pain and suffering unless you meet certain statutory criteria. Essentially, these criteria are a permanent injury, scarring or loss of an important bodily function. One of our attorneys in Cape Coral can assist you in the legal analysis of whether you do or do not meet this threshold.
What is my job in the accident claim?
We want you to get better. No matter how much money we can recover for you, it will never fully compensate you for a lifetime of pain or a significant disability. You need to take your recovery seriously and follow the treatment plan prescribed by your medical professional. While you are treating, we will be pursuing your claim with the insurance carrier.
