Choose a Pensacola 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 settlements, and whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the fee is and who pays costs. Ask 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, and pick the one whose answers give you confidence.
What to do after an accident in Pensacola
After an accident in Pensacola, 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 information from everyone involved, and 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 end your claim, so talk with a local attorney early.
Florida injury law, in brief
Florida gives you 2 years from the date of injury to file a claim (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. See the Florida page for full details.
