Time-Limiting Factors for Personal Injury Claims

There are several time-limiting factors that hamper one’s ability to keep waiting and shopping around for lawyers. Foremost, there is the Florida statute of limitations, which is two years for personal injury lawsuits per Florida Statutes §95.11.

Other time-sensitive factors motivate people in your situation to act quickly, such as urgent evidence collection (photos, eyewitnesses, video cameras), urgent paperwork, and medical attention. There are many time-sensitive important factors that play into the aftermath of an accident, and your Fort Lauderdale passenger vehicle accident lawyer can help you stay ahead of these deadlines and opportunity windows. We can help you perform the following duties:

• Collect and analyze evidence
• Negotiate with insurance companies
• Valuate your losses
• File paperwork
• Protect your rights
• Answer your questions
• Communicate with you at any time of the day or night
• Meet with you to discuss your options
• Walk you through the legal process

Usually compensation can be in the form of a settlement, which is made in negotiation outside of court. More rarely, this amount may come in the form of a court judgment, which can occur when we have to take a case in front of a judge and jury. Either way, you do not have to pay us to get your case started.
