FAQ
Questions from Sanford
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.
Which Sanford roads carry the most traffic?
State Road 46 is a busy corridor, particularly where it meets I-4, Rinehart Road, and Airport Boulevard, and the I-4 and SR-417 corridors move heavy high-speed traffic. If you were hurt on any of them, document the scene and call us before speaking to the insurer.
Where is my Sanford injury case filed?
Sanford is the county seat of Seminole County, so injury lawsuits from accidents there are filed at the Seminole County Courthouse in the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. We prepare every case for that court even when it settles first.
