How to choose a lawyer in Atlantis

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will take a case to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and insurers, and get clear contingency terms in writing, including what percentage you pay and who covers costs. Confirm who personally handles your case and how often you will hear from them. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Atlantis

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 anyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer before you understand your rights. 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, while older claims had 4 years. Missing it can bar your claim, so contact a local attorney early.
