Our Florida Injury Firm Advocates for Injured Claimants on a Contingency-Fee Basis

A catastrophic injury can permanently affect your financial resources. While determining how to make ends meet, you don’t want to worry about affording legal help. That’s why Chalik & Chalik Injury Lawyers advocates for its clients on a contingency-fee basis. 

Our law firm does not bother with upfront fees, retainers, or hourly rates. You don’t pay us anything unless and until your case concludes. 

Florida’s Statute of Limitations Limits Your Time to File an Injury Lawsuit

To pursue compensation through an injury lawsuit, you must initiate action within Florida’s statute of limitations. If you fail to obey the deadline, you will lose your right to receive compensation and hold the at-fault party financially responsible.

For a catastrophic injury lawsuit, you generally have two years from the accident date to file your case, per Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a). Yet, this deadline may change slightly depending on what caused the injury. For example, if medical malpractice caused your catastrophic injuries, then you could have two years to file your lawsuit.

The Statute of Limitations Also Applies to Wrongful Death Lawsuits

If you lost a loved one from a catastrophic injury, words cannot express our condolences. We will do everything possible in your case to advocate for your late loved one—including filing your lawsuit within the applicable deadline. You generally have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit. 

Our law firm will handle all the paperwork associated with filing your case and push for a fair resolution.

A Catastrophic Injury Lawyer from Our Team Can Seek These Damages

Our catastrophic injury attorneys will evaluate your losses by consulting with experts, evaluating your economic losses, and reviewing your medical bills. Compensable losses in your case may comprise: 

• Your accident-related current and future medical expenses
• Income losses 
• Reparations for diminished earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional trauma
• Diminished quality of life 
• Scarring and disfigurement 
• Home or vehicle modifications 
• Wrongful death-related damages, such as funeral expenses 

The purpose of these economic and non-economic damages is to make the victim “whole” again––at least financially. Our attorneys will work with you to recover every injury-related loss you have faced. 

Wondering How Much You Can Recover for Your Losses?

The value of your case depends on several factors, including: 

• The extent of your damages: Generally, the more severe and extensive your damages, the more compensation you can recover. For instance, if you can no longer work because of your condition, you could recover more than someone who only misses work for a few days. 
• The severity of your condition. Your injuries (and the extent of your necessary treatments) will determine how much you can seek. 
• Your degree of fault: Florida follows a pure comparative negligence system. You can still contribute to your injuries and still recover damages. Yet, this can affect the value of your case.  

Our attorney will examine your case and offer further insight on how much you can recover.
