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. In other words, you pay nothing unless we 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 for the legal work on the case.
What is my case worth ?
The value of every case is determined by its unique circumstances. Following a detailed review of your situation, we can offer a clearer picture of the potential damages you might be able 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 essential to contact an attorney promptly to preserve your right to file a claim.
Why is medical malpractice law unique ?
Medical negligence claims differ significantly from general personal injury cases like car accidents. They demand a distinct set of skills and resources that many plaintiff’s firms do not possess:
- Your attorney must be fluent in both technical medical terminology and legal strategy.
- Medical malpractice lawsuits in Florida can’t be filed without first securing an affidavit from a qualified medical expert who corroborates that the defendant was negligent.
- Proving causation is difficult.
- Strict and short deadlines.
