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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
