How to choose a lawyer in Apopka

Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, since insurers respond to attorneys who can take a case to court. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage is taken and who pays costs. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Apopka

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. Then act promptly: Florida has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury for claims on or after March 24, 2023, and older claims had 4 years. Missing it can end your claim, so contact a local attorney early.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a claim (for claims on or after March 24, 2023; older claims had 4 years). Florida uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar, so you recover if you are not more than 50% at fault, while medical malpractice remains pure comparative. See the Florida page for full details.
