File an Insurance Claim

Notify your own insurance company of the incident, as Florida is a no-fault state. Your attorney can guide you on the process and handle communications with insurers.

Avoid Giving Statements

Limit communication with the other party's insurer; direct them to your attorney. Avoid giving statements or signing documents without legal advice.

Do I Need a Personal Injury Attorney?

If your case involves significant injury, potential long-term effects, or complex legal issues, securing a personal injury attorney can protect your rights so you can pursue your deserved compensation. There are several compelling reasons to consider professional legal representation:

Experienced Guidance

Personal injury law can be challenging to understand. An experienced attorney can assist you through the legal system and advise you on important decisions throughout your claim.

Negotiation Skills

Insurance companies are skilled at negotiation and often seek to minimize payouts. A personal injury attorney knows how to negotiate with these companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement.

Advocacy

An attorney acts as your advocate, representing your best interests in negotiations, mediations, and, if necessary, in court.

Assessment of Damages

You may be entitled to a range of damages, including medical expenses, loss of income, property damage, and pain and suffering. A lawyer can help accurately assess these.

Contingency Fees

What sets us apart is if we don't win your personal injury case, you don't have to pay.
