Do I really need an attorney for a personal injury claim?
For minor accidents with no real injuries, possibly not. But anytime there are significant medical bills, lost work time, lasting injuries, or a wrongful death — yes. Studies consistently show that injured people represented by attorneys recover substantially more than those who handle claims on their own, even after attorneys’ fees. The free consultation costs you nothing and tells you whether your case warrants representation.
-
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative-negligence rule. As long as you were not more than 50% at fault, you can still recover compensation — though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. Don’t assume you have no case just because you may share some responsibility — talk to an attorney who can evaluate the facts.

Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle before trial. Going to court is always a possibility, but it’s not the most likely outcome — and we prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which strengthens our position in settlement negotiations.
