How to choose a lawyer in Murdock

Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than handling injury cases occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will go to court. Confirm the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the Murdock area. Get contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case, the attorney or a paralegal. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions to compare the local attorneys listed in our directory and pick the one that fits your claim.

What to do after an accident in Murdock

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 with the other people involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. 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 it can bar your claim, so contact a local attorney early.

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, while medical malpractice remains pure comparative.
