Frequently Asked Legal Questions
Quick Answer
The questions injured Floridians ask most concern deadlines, whether partial fault bars recovery, how much cases are worth, whether to speak with adjusters, what attorneys cost, and how long claims take. Each is answered in plain language below and on the firm's FAQ page.
Key Takeaways
- Two years is the general Florida negligence deadline.
- Partial fault reduces but does not bar recovery up to 50%.
- Consultations are free and contingency fees mean no upfront cost.
Start With the Deadline
Before anything else, determine which limitations period applies and whether a government notice requirement is in play. Everything else in the case is negotiable; the deadline is not.
Then Determine the Coverage
Identify every policy: liability, PIP, MedPay, UM, employer, commercial, excess, and umbrella. Coverage determines whether a strong liability case can actually be paid.
