There are many Lawyers in Broward County who handle personal injury cases, and many South Florida Personal Injury Attorneys advertise on television, in phone books, on bus benches, on taxi cabs, and many other places. How can you select the right attorney for you?
An effective Personal Injury Attorney must be a good communicator. When you select an attorney to represent you in court, you should seek someone who communicates well with you, who understands your issues and concerns, and clearly describes the process, pitfalls, and potential benefits of pursuing litigation or settling the issues.
Although some types of cases are appropriate for contingency fee agreements in which a South Florida Personal Injury Lawyer collects fees as a percentage of the money recovered from a claim, not all civil litigation cases are appropriate for this arrangement. Where the liability is clear and the responsible party is able to pay for damages with insurance or on their own, a South Florida Personal Injury Lawyer will typically advance the costs to pursue your claims, and you will pay nothing to your attorney until your claims are paid by the responsible party. The lawyer’s fee and costs will then be paid from the money recovered for you.
A personal injury lawsuit may involve circumstances including auto and motorcycle accidents, boat negligence, medical malpractice, worker’s compensation, nursing home neglect or slip and fall accidents. Personal injury lawsuits also comprise class action suits against pharmaceutical companies for dangerous consumer products such as Fosamax, Zocor or YAZ birth control. You may be able to recover damages for you medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, lost earning potential, impaired physical capacities, and other damages recoverable under the law. Some law firms focus on particular types of personal injury cases in South Florida. If your case is not the type of case that our firm has experience in handling, we can refer you to other attorneys and assist you to work with an attorney on your case as your co-counsel at no extra cost to you.
In Florida, there is a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit against the party that injured you. If you wait too long from the time you were injured, you will not have a valid claim and your claim will be dismissed. We can help you to file your case or to find a law firm that handles your type of case within the required time frame.
