How to choose a lawyer in Fort Myers

Choose a Fort Myers personal injury lawyer by looking for someone who focuses on injury cases rather than practicing broadly. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlement talk, and 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 fee is and who pays costs. Confirm 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 listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Fort Myers

After an accident in Fort Myers, get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos, exchange and gather contact and insurance information, and avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep all records, including bills and reports. Then act promptly: Florida gives you 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. A local lawyer can review your options before time runs short.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida gives injury claimants 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.
