Keeping Clients Informed: What to Expect in an Initial Consultation with Your Florida Injury Lawyer

For many of our clients who have been seriously injured as a result of the carelessness and negligence of others, this is their first venture into the legal system. We have developed this article to let you know what you can expect when you contact The Law Offices of Chalik & Chalik for help.

Do I Have a Case?

The first thing that most of our clients want to know is if they have a case. That question is not always as easy to answer as one might think.

When you contact The Law Offices of Chalik & Chalik, one of our experienced support staff members will take information about your case by telephone. The next step will be to arrange a meeting between you and your lawyer. That meeting will either be at our office, at the hospital, or in your home. If you have no transportation to or from our offices we will be happy to provide it.

During this meeting, we will ask you to provide us with as much information as you can about the facts of your case. You will also have an opportunity to ask us about the civil justice system in Florida and how a personal injury lawsuit works.

We examine each case carefully. One of the keys to determining if you have a case is whether your injury was caused by someone else. Sometimes an accident is no one’s fault and, therefore, there is no possibility of monetary recovery.

What Will it Cost Me?

Our law firm will advance all costs of investigating and developing your case. We invest our time and knowledge, not knowing what the outcome will be. Our fee, if we are successful, will be a percentage of the recovery before expenses are deducted.

Helping Injured Clients Through Difficult Times

Every case that we handle is individualized. Our law firm will evaluate your medical needs and life-care planning needs and project those costs over a lifetime. If you can return to your place of employment, we will determine what training or vocational rehabilitation you may need. If you cannot return to the workplace, we will seek to replace your lost income.

Many of our clients may be receiving minimal rehabilitation services at the time they contact us. Your lawyer will advocate for better services while we are in the process of developing your case.
