Naples Personal Injury FAQ

How much does a Naples personal injury lawyer cost?

Our Naples personal injury lawyers work on contingency - you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery (typically 33.33% before lawsuit, 40% if lawsuit filed). We advance all case costs. You risk nothing and get experienced Collier County representation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Naples?

Florida's statute of limitations is 4 years for most personal injury cases, 2 years for wrongful death, and 2-4 years for medical malpractice. However, evidence deteriorates and witnesses forget, so contact our Naples attorneys immediately to protect your claim.

What should I do after a car accident in Naples?

Call 911 and seek medical attention immediately. Document the scene with photos of vehicles, injuries, and road conditions. Get witness contact information. Report to your insurance but don't give recorded statements. Contact our Naples car accident lawyers before speaking with the other driver's insurance.

How much is my Naples injury case worth?

Case value depends on injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and liability. Minor injuries may settle for $10,000-$50,000. Severe injuries like spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries can be worth $500,000 to several million dollars. Our Collier County attorneys provide free case evaluations.
