Florida law sets specific time limits for filing personal injury lawsuits, known as the statute of limitations. It is important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure your rights are protected within these legal timeframes.
Florida follows a comparative negligence system. This means that even if you were partially at fault for an accident, you may still be able to recover a portion of your damages, depending on the specific facts of your case.
Dram shop laws relate to the liability of establishments that serve alcohol to individuals who later cause harm. In Florida, these laws are specific and often depend on whether alcohol was served to a minor or someone known to be habitually addicted to alcohol.
We begin with a confidential consultation to listen to your story and review the facts of the accident. We then provide an assessment of your legal options and how we can assist in pursuing your claim.
