How to choose a lawyer in Bayshore

Start by looking for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers negotiate differently when they know a case can go to court. Find out whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in this area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes, who pays case costs, and what happens if you lose. Ask who personally handles 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 Bayshore

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since 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, and 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 that deadline can end your claim, so contact a lawyer early.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida gives injured people 2 years from the date of injury to file, 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, though medical malpractice remains pure comparative. See the Florida page for full details.
