Orlando Personal Injury Lawyer

If you were hurt due to the negligence or intentional wrongdoing of someone else, you may have a valid case. 

The following scenarios are examples of instances that may lead to personal injury cases:

Many personal injury lawyers in Florida work under a contingency fee agreement. This payment arrangement allows you to secure excellent legal representation without having to take on an upfront financial risk. If the attorney loses your case, you are not responsible for paying for legal services. Instead, you only owe the attorney’s fee if your case is won through a settlement or trial verdict.

If you win your case, your attorney will get an agreed-upon percentage of your overall compensation. You can clarify the specifics of this arrangement during a case consultation.

Cases can vary significantly in value. However, their value often depends on a few crucial factors, such as:

• The severity of your injuries 
• The strength of the evidence 
• Insurance policy limits 
• Shared responsibility
• Medical treatment required 
• The effects of the injuries on your daily life 
• Out-of-pocket expenses

An experienced personal injury attorney, can help you estimate the value of your case and fight for full compensation.
