Frequently Asked

The questions every injury client asks.

Twenty-five years of consultations distilled into the answers our Boca Raton clients need most. Don't see your question? Call us 24/7.

Getting Started
How much does it cost to hire your firm?+

Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — we only get paid if we recover compensation. Consultations are always free.

How quickly should I call after an accident?+

Within the first 24 hours if possible. Evidence — surveillance footage, vehicle damage, witness memory — disappears fast.

Can you come to the hospital?+

Yes. We routinely conduct consultations at Boca Raton Regional, Delray Medical, and Bethesda hospitals.

Florida Law
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?+

Most negligence claims now have a 2-year statute of limitations following 2023's HB 837 tort reform. Medical malpractice and wrongful death have separate timelines.

What is Florida's no-fault PIP system?+

Florida requires drivers to carry $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection. PIP pays 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages regardless of fault — but only if you treat within 14 days of the crash.

Does comparative fault eliminate my claim?+

Under HB 837, plaintiffs more than 50% at fault are barred from recovery. Anything 50% or less still allows recovery, reduced by your percentage of fault.

Case Value
How much is my case worth?+

Case value depends on medical bills, lost wages, permanency of injury, available insurance, and venue. We provide a realistic range after reviewing the facts.

What damages can I recover?+

Past and future medical bills, lost wages and earning capacity, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases punitive damages.

Will my settlement be taxed?+

Generally, personal injury settlements for physical injuries are not taxable under federal law. Punitive damages and interest can be.

Process
Will I have to go to court?+

Most cases settle before trial. But because we prepare every case for trial, our clients consistently see higher settlement offers.

How long will my case take?+

Soft-tissue cases often resolve in 6–12 months. Catastrophic injury and wrongful death cases can take 18–36 months. We update you weekly.

Who handles my case day-to-day?+

A senior attorney is assigned and accountable. Paralegals support that attorney — they never replace one.

Fees & Financing
What is a contingency fee?+

A percentage of the recovery, paid only if we win. The exact percentage is disclosed in writing before we begin work.

Do I pay anything if we lose?+

No. You owe us nothing — including no reimbursement of costs we advanced.

Can I get money before my case settles?+

Yes. We can connect you with reputable lawsuit funding companies for pre-settlement advances.
