How to choose a lawyer in Coral Gables

Pick 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 differently when a case may go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers who write policies in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use our directory to compare local attorneys on these points before you commit.

What to do after an accident in Coral Gables

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 before you have advice. Keep records of treatment, bills, and time missed from work. Then act promptly: Florida generally sets 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. Waiting can cost you the right to recover.

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.
