How Long Do I Have To File a Personal Injury Lawsuit in Florida?
State law generally gives you two years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit in court. This time limit is referred to as the statute of limitations, and you could lose your right to recover compensation entirely if you file too late. However, note that there are exceptions for certain kinds of cases, making it ideal to get legal advice as soon as you can.
What Damages Can I Recover After an Accident?
You may be entitled to both economic damages (like medical bills) and non-economic damages (like pain and suffering) after being injured in an accident. Punitive damages may be available, too, but only in rare cases that involve egregious conduct from the responsible party.
Should I Hire a Criminal Defense Lawyer if I’m Innocent?
Yes. If you’ve been charged with a crime, the police and prosecution already believe you’re guilty. They’ll immediately begin working to build a case against you, making it important to hire an attorney so that you can level the playing field and respond appropriately. Your future is at stake; this isn’t the time to cut corners.
How Much Does It Cost To Hire an Attorney for My Case?
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you can hire us without paying anything up front. From there, you only pay attorney’s fees if we win compensation for you. For criminal defense cases, our fee structure can vary depending on the facts and circumstances of your situation.
Will My Case Go to Trial?
Most cases in both personal injury and criminal defense are resolved before trial. That said, it may be in your best interest to take your case to that stage in some situations. We will keep you informed of your case’s progress at all times and will advise you on what we believe is your best course of action. Ultimately, however, the decision is yours.
