How to choose a lawyer in Starke

When choosing a personal injury lawyer in Starke, start with 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, since familiarity with the local legal landscape can matter. Make sure the contingency terms are clear: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle your case and who you will speak with day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Our directory lets you compare local attorneys on these points so you can make an informed choice.

What to do after an accident in Starke

After an accident in Starke, your first priority is medical care, 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 the other parties and any witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep all records, including medical bills and repair estimates. 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 evidence and protect your rights.

Florida injury law, in brief

Florida gives injury claimants 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: you recover if you are not more than 50% at fault, though medical malpractice remains pure comparative.
