Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to pay to hire your firm?
We handle cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no upfront costs or legal fees; we invest all necessary resources. You pay nothing unless we successfully recover money for you. If there is a settlement or favorable verdict, we are reimbursed for case costs and receive a portion of the recovery as our fee.
What is the value of my case?
The value of every case depends on its unique circumstances. Following a comprehensive review of your situation, we can offer a clearer picture of the potential damages you may be eligible to recover.
How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Florida?
For most personal injury and negligence cases in Florida, the statute of limitations is now two years from the date of the incident. It is critical to contact an attorney promptly to preserve your right to file a claim.
When can I sue a doctor or another medical professional in Florida for an injury?
The first requirement for suing a doctor or other medical professional is that a doctor-patient relationship existed between you and the medical professional when the harm occurred. Additionally, the medical professional’s negligence must have caused or substantially contributed to your injury or harm.
Secondly, generally, you must file within two years of discovering, or reasonably should have discovered, that the injury was due to medical negligence. Time is critical, so we recommend contacting our firm’s medical malpractice team as soon as possible for a free consultation.
When can I sue a hospital or another medical facility in Florida for an injury?
A hospital or other medical establishment can be sued for a patient’s injury under certain circumstances. It is important to determine whether the negligent doctor or other medical professional was an employee of the hospital or other medical establishment at the time of the negligence and injury.
In some cases, hospitals purposely make it difficult to determine if a doctor is an employee of a hospital to avoid liability. Our team has experience investigating the employment status of doctors. We may be able to prove that the hospital is legally responsible for a doctor’s malpractice, even if the doctor was not an employee at the time of the medical negligence.
