How Much Does A Personal Injury Attorney Cost In Miami?

PILawyer2

If you are reading this, chances are, you or a loved one has been involved in an accident in Miami, Florida, because of another party’s negligence. If that is the case, then it is commendable that you are researching how much it costs to retain a personal injury attorney. Even though Florida law does not require personal injury victims to hire attorneys, an attorney can prove invaluable to a personal injury victim.

How Can a Miami Personal Injury Attorney Help You?

A personal injury attorney can safeguard your right to compensation. An attorney can help you avoid accepting an unfair settlement offer. Usually, opposition attorneys are focused on saving their clients’ money and offer plaintiffs unfair initial settlements. Sadly, some cash-strapped personal injury victims end up accepting these inadequate settlement offers. Fortunately for you, if you work with a Miami personal injury attorney, your attorney will help you evaluate any settlement offer you get from the defense side. An attorney can ensure that you only accept what you deserve for your injuries and losses.

An attorney can also act as a shield between you and the defendant’s lawyer. For example, suppose the defense side claims that you do not deserve compensation because you are also to blame for your accident. In such a case, a Miami personal injury attorney can defend you using Florida Statute 768.81. According to this statute, a personal injury victim who is partially to blame for their accident cannot be deemed ineligible for compensation. Even if you are also to blame for your accident, you can still recover compensation. The only thing is that the amount of compensation you recover will be reduced by your percentage of fault.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Attorney Cost in Miami?

Most personal injury attorneys in Miami charge a contingency fee of between 33% to 40% of the recovery they obtain for you. Usually, attorneys charge 33% of the recovery when a case is settled outside court and 40% when the case goes to court. So, if an attorney obtains a settlement of $200,000, for instance, for you, it would cost $66,000 if there is no lawsuit, or $80,000 if a lawsuit is filed.

It is crucial to note that if an attorney working on a contingency fee basis does not win your case, you won’t have to worry about paying them.
