Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a Tampa personal injury lawyer?
At Injury Law of Tampa, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and owe no legal fees unless we win your case. Our fees come as a percentage of your settlement or verdict, so you never pay out of pocket for legal representation.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
Under Florida Statute 95.11, you generally have four years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain cases have shorter deadlines. Medical malpractice claims must typically be filed within two years. It is crucial to contact a Tampa personal injury lawyer as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What compensation can I recover in a Tampa personal injury case?
Depending on your case, you may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and property damage. In cases involving extreme negligence, you may also be entitled to punitive damages. Our lawyers evaluate every possible avenue of recovery for our clients.
Should I accept the insurance company's first settlement offer?
Generally, no. Insurance companies often make low initial offers hoping you will accept before understanding the full value of your claim. Before accepting any offer, consult with an experienced Tampa car accident lawyer who can evaluate whether the offer fairly compensates you for all your damages.
What should I do immediately after an accident in Tampa?
First, seek medical attention even if you feel fine, as some injuries are not immediately apparent. Call the police to file a report. Document the scene with photos if possible. Exchange information with other parties. Do not admit fault or give recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.
How long does a personal injury case take in Tampa?
Case timelines vary significantly based on the complexity of the case, severity of injuries, and willingness of insurance companies to negotiate. Some cases settle within months, while others may take a year or longer if litigation becomes necessary. Our lawyers work efficiently while ensuring we do not sacrifice the value of your claim for speed.
