How to choose a lawyer in St. Augustine

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm actually takes cases to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and insurers, which shapes how a claim is handled. Get contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case 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 listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in St. Augustine

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries appear later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes. Exchange and gather information from everyone involved, including witnesses and insurance details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost work. Then act promptly: Florida generally sets 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 explain how the deadline applies to you.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida generally 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. The state 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.
