When life takes an unexpected turn, finding the right support can make all the difference. If you’re considering a personal injury lawyer in Florida, you might feel overwhelmed with questions. You want someone who will fight for you, keep you informed, and get results. To help make the best decision, be sure to ask these questions before hiring a firm or lawyer. They will give you peace of mind and help you find someone who truly has your back.
What is Your Experience with Cases Like Mine?
-
Clients should understand the lawyer’s experience, particularly with cases similar to theirs (e.g. car accidents, medical malpractice, or premises liability).
-
Florida’s laws on comparative negligence and PIP (Personal Injury Protection) may impact these cases, so having a lawyer with relevant experience can make a difference in case outcomes.
What Are Your Fees, and How Are They Structured?
-
No one wants to be blindsided when it comes to costs, and fees, and generally, personal injury lawyers have a much different way of approaching fees/payment than other lawyers who bill by the hour.
-
Personal Injury firms like GOLDLAW work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they get paid ONLY if the client wins.
-
Be sure to clarify this fee structure and any additional costs, like court fees or expert witness fees, to avoid surprises later!
-
Fees vary across firms, so have a clear understanding before you commit to a firm or lawyer.
Who Will Handle My Case?
-
In some firms, the initial consultation may be with a lawyer, but day-to-day case management might be handled by a team of paralegals and legal assistants.
-
As a client, it’s important to know who will directly manage your case and handle communications, so you can ensure you’re getting proper representation.
What is Your Track Record in Settlements vs. Trials?
-
Understanding a lawyer’s success in negotiating settlements and their experience with trials is CRUCIAL!
-
Some lawyers/firms focus on settling cases, while others have demonstrated success when taking cases to trial.
-
As a client, you need to be comfortable with the process, and how your lawyer deems the case should be handled.
How Long Do You think My Case will Take?
-
Clients need to have REALISTIC expectations of the case timeline.
-
Personal injury cases in Florida often take months to resolve, and factors like the complexity of the case, insurance negotiations, and court schedules can impact the timeline.
-
Reputable lawyers/firms will not lead the client on by making unrealistic promises with respect to when a case will be resolved.
