We Are Here For Your Family

We understand that a personal injury impacts numerous people. In addition to financial losses, the victim’s family may suffer emotional losses. The family dynamic may change when parents, spouses or children become caregivers and significantly alter their lifestyles. It is not unusual for the entire family to need help adjusting to their new roles and life with a catastrophically injured family member.

Our attorneys will provide your family with legal counsel and compassionate support. After helping thousands of injury victims, we are familiar with the issues your family is facing. We know that recovering compensation is just the first step in moving forward.

Common Questions About Florida Personal Injury Cases

A personal injury claim can be confusing, especially when you are facing a serious injury or the loss of a family member. We can help you understand your options.

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

There are no upfront costs to hire a Panama City personal injury lawyer. Your consultation is free, and we take cases on contingency fees. This means that you only pay us if we recover compensation for you. The payment comes out of the jury award or settlement that you receive. If we do not get damages for you, you owe us nothing.

What is my case worth?

The worth of each case is unique, and the outcome will depend on many factors, including:

• The severity of the injuries and extent of your medical care (past and future medical bills)
• Whether someone died as a result of the accident
• How much income you lost (past and future) if you had to miss work
• Whether your earning capacity was affected
• The need for hiring help with children and/or the home
• Your pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• The loss of enjoyment of life
• The loss of a loved one
• Funeral and burial expenses
• Whether you shared any fault for the accident
• Whether the negligent party acted with egregious disregard for your safety (punitive damages)

We will thoroughly examine your claim and calculate your damages. The exact amount you receive will depend on the settlement negotiations or jury award, if the case goes to trial.

How long does a personal injury case take?

The length of a personal injury case is different for each one and is determined by things such as:

• Whether liability is contested
• The amount of the damages (higher damages may mean a longer process)
• The time it takes to negotiate a settlement
• Whether the case goes to trial, which will take significantly more time

As an example, a straightforward personal injury case with damages under $100,000 may be resolved in a matter of months through negotiations. On the other hand, a more complex case involving damages closer to $1 million or more will likely take longer. If the case goes to trial, it may be a couple of years before it’s resolved.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

You should only talk to the insurance company if your lawyer is present. Do not talk to them without your attorney because they may trick you into saying something that could hurt your case.

What if I was partially at fault?

If you were partially at fault for the accident, you can recover compensation if you were 50% or less at fault. If you are 51% or more at fault, you can’t recover damages from the other party. Florida switched to this modified comparative negligence system in 2023.
