Freidin Brown, P.A.

Yes, you can sue in the Florida county where the accident happened, even if you are from another state or country.

You are never required by law to have an attorney when bringing legal action against an at-fault party. But pro se litigants are rarely successful when up against other lawyers and insurance companies. This is why an experienced lawyer on your side makes all the difference. Attorneys who handle wrongful death lawsuits, like ours at Freidin Brown, P.A., know how to deal with complex and confusing legal proceedings while being respectful and understanding to our clients who may still be recovering from the shock of losing a loved one. This is why we do all we can to handle the challenging legal work on behalf of our clients, which can require extensive experience, resources, and even professional connections if experts must be used. When you depend on having a h3 case to secure the justice and compensation your family deserves, there is no substitute to enlisting the help of legal professionals.

If you are concerned about finances and being able to afford a personal injury lawyer to help with your car accident case, you should know that most injury attorneys – including our legal team at Freidin Brown, P.A. – work personal injury cases on contingency fees. This fee arrangement means that victims do not pay up-front fees to hire a lawyer, and that attorneys’ fees are taken as an agreed upon percentage of the final financial recovery. If no recovery is made in your case, there are no fees. Our attorneys can further explain how our contingency fees and our agreements work during an initial consultation.

Whether or not your personal injury case will go to trial is again dependent on the unique facts involved. In general terms, most personal injury cases do not go to trial, and are instead resolved through out-of-court negotiations (which still require aggressive advocacy to prove fault and liability, and pursue full and fair compensation). In some cases, however, defendants and insurance companies may argue important facts in the case, such as claiming they were not at fault, or that you as a victim contributed to causing the crash in some way. They may also refuse to pay what victims rightfully deserve to settle their cases. In these scenarios, litigation may be necessary, which is why working with attorneys skilled in both out-of-court negotiations and trial practice is critical.

Wrongful death lawsuits are civil legal actions that are designed to hold a person or an entity accountable for causing another’s death through negligent, wrongful, or intentional acts. In general terms, wrongful death cases function similarly to personal injury lawsuits in that they seek justice and financial compensation for incidents and damages that could and should have been prevented. One way to understand these cases is to view them as personal injury claims where the victim is no longer able to bring legal action on their one. Instead, another party will need to bring the wrongful death action.
