Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, most personal injury lawsuits must be filed within two years of the date of the injury under the state’s statute of limitations. Wrongful death claims also generally carry a two-year deadline. Because certain circumstances can shorten or extend these time limits, it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after an accident to protect your right to compensation.

What types of personal injury cases does McFarland, Gould, Lyons, Sullivan & Hogan handle?

Our attorneys handle a wide range of personal injury matters, including automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall injuries, dog bites, boating incidents, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, and wrongful death. If your injury was caused by another party’s negligence, we can review your situation during a free consultation.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney’s fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is free and carries no obligation, so you can understand your options before making any decision.

What compensation can I recover after a personal injury in Florida?

Depending on your case, you may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and other losses caused by the accident. Our goal is to pursue the maximum compensation available for the full extent of your injuries and damages.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Seek medical attention right away, even if your injuries seem minor, and follow your doctor’s instructions. Document the scene with photos, gather contact and insurance information from anyone involved, keep copies of medical records and bills, and avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with an attorney.

Do I have to go to court for my personal injury case?

Many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiated settlements without a trial. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, our attorneys are prepared to file a lawsuit and represent you in court to protect your interests.
