Top 10 FAQs About Personal Injury Cases in Florida
1. Do I have a valid personal injury case?
You may have a case if someone else’s negligence caused your injury and you suffered measurable damages—medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
2. What deadlines apply to personal injury claims in Florida?
As of March 2023, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the incident. Exceptions apply for medical malpractice, government claims, and certain discovery-based injuries.
3. How much is my case worth?
Case value depends on liability, injury severity, medical costs, lost income, and long-term impact. No honest lawyer quotes a number without reviewing the facts.
4. Will my case go to trial?
Most cases settle. Trial becomes necessary if liability or damages are disputed and settlement isn’t possible. Your lawyer must be ready to litigate if needed.
5. What if I was partly at fault?
Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. If less, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
6. How long will my case take?
Anywhere from a few months to several years. Timeline depends on medical treatment, insurance response, and whether litigation is required.
7. Do I pay anything upfront?
No. Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency—meaning they only get paid if you recover money. Standard fees range from 33% to 40% of the recovery.
8. Can I recover for emotional distress or pain and suffering?
Yes. These are called “non-economic damages” and may be awarded if your injuries are serious and well-documented.
9. What should I do right after an accident?
Get medical care, document the scene (photos, witnesses), avoid talking to insurers, and contact a lawyer before giving any statements.
10. What if the person who injured me has no insurance?
You may recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or pursue personal assets if viable. A lawyer can assess recovery options.
