How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Charge in Florida?

Our Tampa personal injury attorneys charge a contingency fee equal to a percentage of the settlement won in your case, meaning you’ll pay no upfront fees. More importantly, you also pay no legal fees if you lose the case.

What Is Florida's Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims?

Florida gives you two years to file a negligence lawsuit. Although two years may seem long, it can pass quickly when you’re dealing with medical treatment and physical therapy. You should contact a lawyer promptly after your accident. 

Can I Still Recover Compensation if I Was Partly at Fault?

Florida’s modified comparative negligence statute allows you to recover compensation, even if you are partially at fault for your injuries. However, your compensation is usually reduced by your share of the blame. For example, if you were 12% at fault, you can recover 88% of your injury-related losses. 

What Types of Damages Can I Recover in a Florida Personal Injury Case? 

You can seek compensation for past and future economic losses, such as medical costs, income losses, and out-of-pocket expenses. Non-economic losses are also recoverable. These damages compensate you for your reduced quality of life, including your pain and suffering. 

What Will a Personal Injury Lawyer Actually Do for Me? 

Injury lawyers deal with insurance companies to fight for a fair payout. They document your claim and respond to denials. They also negotiate settlements and, if a settlement is impossible, file lawsuits. 

Is It Worth Hiring a Lawyer After a Car Accident in Tampa? 

Insurance companies take advantage of claimants without experience and legal knowledge to underpay their claims. Lawyers often obtain better settlements than unrepresented crash victims, so hiring one is a wise choice.
