How to choose a lawyer in Feather Sound

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 often treat cases differently when they know a lawyer can take one to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and insurers, and ask for clear contingency terms in writing, including what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Find out who personally handles your case, because some firms pass work to other staff. Finally, check the lawyer'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 Feather Sound

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 anyone involved and from witnesses. 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 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. 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, while older claims had 4 years. The state 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.
