Before calling Complete Accident Help or hiring a personal injury lawyer for your Florida Accident Injury Case, you should take some time to understand exactly what your rights are. With this knowledge, you will be able to understand what responsibilities your lawyer has to you and your Florida accident injury case. Remember that this is your case and you are the boss. You are hiring a personal injury attorney to represent and advise you based on his legal expertise and experience. Your rights when hiring a Florida personal injury lawyer are as follows:
1.) Most personal injury lawyers work for you based on a contigency contract in which you pay nothing up front in most cases. Your lawyer deducts his fees from the monies he recovers for you at the end of your accident claim. Your contract with your lawyer is like any other contract in that you can negotiate the fee that the lawyer charges you to recover money for your accident injury. Most Florida Personal Injury Lawyers charge 33 and 1/3 percent as a general rule, but you can bargain with your lawyer for a lower rate. If you can't agree with him or her on the fee, you can just start talking to other lawyers.
2.) If it turns out that you are not happy with your injury lawyer and the way he/she is handling your injury claim, you can fire him or her with 3 days notice. Be careful though, because depending on when in the process you decide to do this, you may still have to pay the lawyer's costs or even a fee for work he or she has done on your behalf. Now if your lawyer decides to stop representing you for any reason, he or she also has to give you written notice.
3.) You have the right to know about your injury attorney's education, experience, and expertise when it comes to handling Florida accident cases like yours. After all this is the person that will be representing you in your attempt to recover money for your injuries and you want to make sure they know what they are doing.
4.) You have the right to know if your personal injury lawyer plans on getting help from or working with other attorneys on your case. You are the boss and you have the right to know how the fee arrangement between the attorneys will work and make sure that each new attorney working your case signs the original contract you had with your original lawyer.
5.) If your lawyer plans on referring your accident case or working with other attorneys on your accident case, he or she needs to let you know about this from the very beginning. If your lawyer takes your case and later decides to refer it out or work with other lawyers, you have the right to sign a new contract that would include the new lawyers. You have the right to talk to any attorney working on your case. Every lawyer working on your personal injury case has to act in your best interest and has an individual responsibility to make sure that every other lawyer working on your accident case acts in your best interest.
6) You have the right to know how your lawyer's fees and costs will be calculated once your personal injury claim is done. If your lawyer asks that you make a deposit for his costs, then you have the right to know where and how much of this money will be spent on your accident case. Your lawyer should be able to estimate what necessary costs you may incur. If your lawyer spends money on your case, you have a right to keep track of the monies spent on your behalf. You have the right to decide how much you want your lawyer to spend on your behalf. You also have the right to know if your lawyer plans on charging you separately for costs or including everything in his fee.
7) You have a right to be informed by your attorney of the consequences of losing you personal injury case. You may still have to pay your lawyer's costs or even have to pay the fees and cost of the attorneys on the other side.
8) You have the right to see and sign off on a final statement of your account once your accident case ends. You don't have to pay anyone, including your lawyer, until you sign off and accept a final statement. This final statement should include the total amount recovered for you, all your expenses, and a detailed breakdown of what you are paying your lawyer. You have the right to have every lawyer that worked on your case sign this final statement.
9) You have the right to contact your lawyer for updates throughout the progression of your case and he or she is responsible for informing you to the best of their ability.
10) Remember, this is your accident case, and you have the right to make all final decisions regarding any settlement of your case before, during, or after a trial. You have the right to get the advice of your lawyer but you have the final decision when it comes to resolving your case.
11) Finally, if you have a problem with your Florida accident attorney at any time during your personal injury or accident case, you can call the Florida Bar @ 904-561-5600.
