Start Fighting Back Immediately With Our Contingency Fee Agreement
At Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers, we represent injured clients on a contingency-fee basis. This fee agreement means you pay nothing upfront or out of pocket. Instead, we accept a percentage of your financial award as compensation.
Another benefit of our fee structure is that it lets us start building your case immediately, which can ensure compliance with the statute of limitations. In general:
- The personal injury statute of limitations is two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a)
- The wrongful death statute of limitations is two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d)
- The medical malpractice statute of limitations is two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(b)
- The nursing home abuse statute of limitations is two years, according to Florida Statutes § 400.0236
Because Florida Statutes § 95.051 permits some exceptions to the statute of limitations, the best way to ensure compliance is to let our legal team handle it for you.
Our Legal Team Will Work to Establish the Required Elements of Negligence
To build an effective case for you, we’ll work to collect and organize evidence to prove the at-fault party’s negligence. To establish duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages, we may collect the following evidence:
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- Official reports
- Witness statements
In addition to compiling your evidence, we can also organize and submit it before the settlement process or the start of your trial, if needed.
