No, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and only pay if we win your case.

In Florida, the process begins with the 14-day rule, which requires injured parties to seek medical evaluation within two weeks from the accident to qualify for PIP benefits.

Under Florida’s Modified Comparative Negligence model, if you are more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover. If you are partly at fault, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility. For example, if your damages total $100,000 but you are 20% at fault, you can recover $80,000.

Most car accident cases settle out of court, but having an attorney prepared to go to trial often leads to better settlement offers.

The procedural steps generally include:

1. Reporting: Notifying law enforcement of any crash involving injuries or property damage exceeding $500.
2. Documentation: Exchanging insurance information and gathering evidence like scene photos and witness contacts.
3. Notification: Informing your own insurer to trigger PIP benefits, which cover 80% of medical costs and 60% of lost wages regardless of fault.
4. Legal Action: If injuries are permanent or exceed the “serious injury threshold,” you may pursue a third-party claim against the at-fault driver.
5. Seek Treatment As Soon As Possible, no later than 14-days after the accident or injury.
