When Do You Need a Personal Injury Attorney in Florida?

You need a Florida personal injury attorney when navigating any matter governed by Florida personal injury law. Early consultation can preserve legal options and prevent costly procedural mistakes. Many Florida attorneys offer free initial consultations.

Costs and Timeline

Most Florida personal injury attorneys work on contingency — commonly around 33⅓% before a lawsuit and 40% if suit is filed. Since HB 837 (2023), the deadline to sue for most negligence is two years, and Florida applies modified comparative negligence (a plaintiff over 50% at fault cannot recover). Clear-liability claims can settle in months; litigated cases take 1–3+ years.

Florida Laws and Statutes

Florida personal injury is governed by Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a) (a two-year limit for negligence, effective March 24, 2023 under HB 837), the Florida Wrongful Death Act (§ 768.16 et seq.), and Chapter 766 (medical malpractice). Florida now follows modified comparative negligence — a plaintiff found more than 50% at fault generally cannot recover (HB 837).
