Question 1

What should I look for when hiring a personal injury lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Choose a firm with substantial personal injury experience, strong client communication, and a team with resources to fully develop your case. Prefer attorneys who handle personal injury regularly and will speak directly with you throughout the process.

Question 2

How much does hiring a personal injury lawyer cost?

Accepted Answer

We work on contingency: no attorney fees up front and no fees unless there is a recovery. Necessary case costs are typically advanced by the firm and repaid only from any recovery.

Question 3

Who pays medical expenses, lost wages and other damages?

Accepted Answer

Damages are typically paid from the at-fault party’s bodily injury liability insurance, but PIP, uninsured motorist, or other coverages may also apply. In some cases a self-insured company or other coverage sources may be responsible.

Question 4

What should I expect from my personal injury attorney?

Accepted Answer

Expect professionalism, experience, frequent communication, the financial ability to pursue your case, skill in negotiation and litigation, and a lawyer who explains options and acts in your best interest.

Question 5

How much is my case worth?

Accepted Answer

Case value depends on many factors (injury severity, liability, medical bills, lost wages, and other damages). An attorney can provide ranges based on experience but exact amounts cannot be guaranteed.

Question 6

Are we going to court right away?

Accepted Answer

Usually not. Many cases are resolved by negotiation before filing suit. If settlement isn’t possible, your attorney should be prepared to file and litigate when necessary.

Question 7

Is there a difference between car, motorcycle, truck, slip & fall, and wrongful death lawyers?

Accepted Answer

A seasoned personal injury attorney should be able to handle a variety of injury cases, though certain matters like wrongful death require particular sensitivity and experience. Choose a firm with the resources to handle the specific issues in your case.

Question 8

What is negligence?

Accepted Answer

Negligence is the failure to use reasonable care under the circumstances. If someone’s careless actions cause your injury, that conduct may be negligent and give rise to a personal injury claim.

Question 9

What is 'PIP' insurance?

Accepted Answer

PIP (Personal Injury Protection) is Florida’s no-fault coverage that pays medical bills and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. Florida requires minimum PIP coverage, but it may be insufficient for serious injuries, in which case additional compensation may be available.

Question 10

Is it too late to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Accepted Answer

Timing matters because delays can harm a case, but you should still contact a lawyer — an attorney can assess whether any claim remains viable and advise next steps.

Question 11

Do I need a lawyer for a car accident settlement?

Accepted Answer

No legal requirement to hire an attorney exists, but an experienced lawyer can help identify available benefits, evaluate settlement fairness, and protect your rights — especially for significant injuries or complex liability.
