Florida Has a Four-Year Statute of Limitations

Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a) notes that you generally have two years from your accident’s date to file a lawsuit. By filing your lawsuit within that timeframe, you protect your right to seek damages. If you don’t file within this period, the court will refuse to hear your case, leaving you with few legal options.

You Have Less Time to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

We understand that losing a loved one is traumatic. During this challenging time, we want to support you and your loved ones. To do this, however, we must file your lawsuit within two years from the date of your loved one’s passing, as mandated by Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d).

Once we learn about your case, we’ll file your case on time to prevent the statute of limitations from expiring. We’ll manage your legal case while you celebrate your loved one’s life and achievements.

Some Exceptions May Apply

Of course, not all cases are the same. Florida Statutes § 95.051 notes that you may have a longer time to file if:

• The at-fault party left the accident scene without sharing their information
• The at-fault party left the state
• A physical or cognitive disability prevented you from filing a lawsuit
• You were hurt as someone under the age of 18
• You didn’t discover your injuries until after the collision happened

We can determine whether any filing exceptions apply to your case and move forward from there.

Our Lawyers Have Secured Millions for Injured Claimants Throughout Florida

South Florida residents know our law firm by name. We’ve been featured on CNN, Inside Edition, Dateline, and local news stations. We’re also members of the American Bar Association (ABA) and the Multi-Million-Dollar Forum – where less than one percent of the nation’s lawyers are members.

We’ve recovered millions for our clients since 1995. Some of our case results include:

$3 Million After Suing Bridgestone and Ford

Pursuing compensation after a truck accident involves going toe-to-toe with million-dollar corporations. This is something we have experience with. After our client’s collision was caused by defective tires, we successfully sued Bridgestone and Ford.

$1 Million After a Wrongful Death

Our client came to us after losing a loved one in an auto accident. After we presented their case to the insurance company, we recovered $1 million.

$325,000 After a Serious Truck Accident

Our client suffered complex regional pain syndrome after being hit by a truck. They suffered chronic pain afterward. We negotiated a $325,000 settlement that accounted for their medical bills, lost income, and other related expenses.

Legal Aid on a Contingency-Fee Basis

Many injured claimants worry about affording legal aid. You don’t have to worry about that with us on your side, though. We offer help on a contingency-fee basis, where we take a percentage of your settlement as payment for our attorney’s fees.

Here are some things to know:

• We’ll create a payment plan in writing that you must approve of
• Payment for our help depends on your case’s obligations
• You don’t pay our attorney’s fees if we cannot recover compensation

We are just as motivated as you are to secure compensation. We will utilize our network of resources, years of experience, and commitment to recover what you deserve.

While your case unfolds, the only thing you have to worry about is getting better. We will:

• Gather evidence, including traffic camera footage and black box data
• File a claim and negotiate a settlement
• Communicate with the involved parties, including claims adjusters and eyewitnesses
• Prove negligence
• Estimate your losses’ value
• Advocate for your rights in court
• File your case within all applicable deadlines

We provide legal help based on your case’s needs. As such, we may render services not listed here.

Questions and Answers About Your Boca Raton Truck Accident Case

Right now, you can get the answers to these questions about your case:

How Does Insurance Work in Florida?

Every motorist must have personal injury protection (PIP) insurance, explains the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). In most cases, injured claimants first seek compensation from their insurance providers.

However, if their injuries pass a certain threshold (or their damages exceed their policy’s coverage), they can file a claim with the other party’s insurer.

Are Truck Accident Cases Different From Car Accident Cases?

In the big scheme of things, not really. However, going against million-dollar trucking companies can get confusing. They may refute liability or contest some aspects of your case.

Yet, our team has experience negotiating with major companies. We have no problem going head-to-head with these entities for you.

What Damages Can I Recover?

Compensation in your case may account for:

• Medical expenses
• Lost income
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Disability
• Property damage
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of consortium

The value of your case depends on many aspects of your situation, including your injuries, emotional state, and the accident’s severity.
