How to choose a lawyer in Medley
Choosing a personal injury lawyer in Medley comes down to a few practical checks. Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than handling it occasionally, and ask about a real trial track record, since insurers respond to attorneys who are willing to go to court. Ask how well they know the local courts and the insurers you may face. Get the contingency terms in writing, including costs, and 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 in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Medley
After an accident in Medley, protect your health and your claim. Get medical care even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, exchange and gather information from everyone involved, and avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep all records, including bills and reports. 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 end your case.
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. 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.
