How to choose a lawyer in Palm City

When choosing a personal injury lawyer in Palm City, look for someone who focuses on personal injury cases rather than a general practice. Ask about their trial track record and experience with local courts and insurers. Make sure the contingency terms are clear: what percentage they take and when. Find out who will personally handle your case, since some firms pass matters to less experienced staff. Finally, verify the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Our directory lists local attorneys so you can compare these details and pick the one that fits your needs.

What to do after an accident in Palm City

After an accident in Palm City, your first priority is medical care, even if you feel fine. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes. Exchange information with the other parties and gather witness details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep all records, including medical bills and correspondence. Florida law sets a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury for claims on or after March 24, 2023; older claims had 4 years. Acting promptly helps preserve your rights, so consider contacting a local attorney soon.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida gives injured people 2 years from the date of injury to file a claim (for claims on or after March 24, 2023; older claims had 4 years). The state uses modified comparative negligence with a 51% bar: you can recover if you are not more than 50% at fault, though medical malpractice remains pure comparative. See the Florida page for full details.
