How to choose a lawyer in Southwest Ranches

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers negotiate differently when a case may go to court. Look for someone who knows the local courts and the insurers you may face. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day, and confirm that person is involved. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Southwest Ranches

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, and exchange and gather information with everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault and do not give a recorded statement to an insurer before you understand your rights. 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. A local lawyer can review your situation and explain the next steps.

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, 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. See the Florida page for full details.
