How Quickly do I Have to Hire a Lawyer? File a Lawsuit?

You do not have to hire a lawyer or file a lawsuit quickly in a personal injury case in Florida. In fact, you have at least two years to file a lawsuit, and technically, you never even have to hire a lawyer. However, you should strongly consider the likelihood that a lawyer will be able to get you a better result than you will be able to get on your own, assuming that the lawyer has experience in handling personal injury cases. You should take your time when deciding on which lawyer to hire in a personal injury case. You have a right to ask the lawyer for his qualifications and experience. If you are considering hiring a lawyer for a personal injury case, you should also ask the lawyer how many trials he has had involving the same type of case as yours. Many lawyers say that they handle personal injury cases, but if you check, you will find out that many never actually go to trial on any of their cases: they either settle all their cases or discharge the ones they can't settle before they get to the point that they have to file a lawsuit. It is in your best interest to investigate the lawyer that you hire and make sure you hire a lawyer that has extensive trial experience handling personal injury cases. You can go online with most Clerk of Court Offices in the counties where the lawyer practices and check how many personal injury lawsuits that lawyer filed, listed as Attorney of Record, in that county.
