How to choose a lawyer in South Beach

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how a case is built. 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 this area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage is taken and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar before you sign. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in South Beach

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because 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 every record, including bills, reports, and correspondence. 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 that deadline can end your right to recover, so contact a local attorney early.

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; 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.
