FAQ
Questions from Ocoee
Answers from Florida law and from the court where your case is filed.
Can I file a claim if I am not a citizen?
Yes. Your immigration status does not stop you from recovering after an injury in Florida. We work with many clients in exactly this situation, and your information stays private.
How long do I have to act?
Florida has strict deadlines, and evidence fades fast. The sooner you call, the more we can protect. A short call today costs you nothing and keeps your options open.
Will I actually talk to an attorney?
Yes. When you first call, our intake team takes your details so we can reach you quickly. The consultation itself is with an attorney. As your case moves you will also work with our case managers, and an attorney stays accountable for it start to finish. We keep our caseload small on purpose so your case gets real attention.
What should I do right after an accident?
Call the police first, and make sure a report is made. Then get medical care, document everything you can, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the insurer before you talk to us. Then call. We will guide the next steps in your language.
How much is my case worth?
It depends on your medical bills, lost wages, future care, and how the injury changed your life. Anyone promising a number before reviewing your case is guessing. We evaluate it honestly, for free.
How long will my case take?
Many injury claims resolve in months; cases that go to litigation take longer. We move your case with urgency and keep you updated at every step, so you are never left wondering.
Will I have to go to court?
We prepare every case as if it will go to trial.
What if I was partly at fault?
You can still recover in Florida as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault; your recovery is just reduced by your share. Do not assume you have no case. Let us look first.
I was hurt at work but worry about my immigration status. Can I still file a claim?
Yes. Florida workers' compensation and third-party injury claims do not depend on your immigration status, and your information stays protected. Depending on how you were hurt, you may have a workers' compensation claim, a lawsuit against a negligent third party, or both. You will always speak with a bilingual attorney.
Where is my Ocoee injury case filed?
Ocoee is in Orange County, so injury lawsuits are filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit at the Orange County Courthouse in downtown Orlando. That holds whether your address is inside Ocoee's city limits or in one of the unincorporated Orange County pockets that share the Ocoee mailing address. Most cases settle before suit, but we prepare each one for that courtroom.
Who writes the crash report if I am hit in Ocoee, and when can I get it?
It depends on where you were hit. The Ocoee Police Department works crashes on city streets, the Orange County Sheriff's Office covers the unincorporated areas around the city, and the Florida Highway Patrol handles Florida's Turnpike and SR-429. Under Florida law a crash report stays confidential for 60 days, but the people involved and their attorneys can get it right away, so we request yours immediately rather than waiting.
