Miami Personal Injury Lawyer
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why should I hire a personal injury attorney?
If you or a family member has been the victim of someone else’s wrongdoing you should hire a Miami personal injury attorney immediately. An attorney will understand your legal rights and will know right away whether or not you can legally file a claim. An experienced attorney will also be able to take over all communication with any insurance agencies and all other parties involved. Please contact the Law Offices of Jubin Jay Sharifi, P.A. today for a free consultation.
Do I have to file claim in a specified time period?
Yes. Under the Florida Statute of Limitations, a person looking to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim may only do so in a specified period (typically 1-2 years). The sooner an attorney can begin an investigation the better the chance there is of a successful outcome. Otherwise, when a person delays filing a claim, critical evidence, witness testimony and other information that may be supportive to a claim can become lost or forgotten.
What type of compensation may I be entitled to?
When a person files a personal injury or wrongful death claim they may be entitled to compensation for damages. These damages may include but are not limited to: medical expenses, long-term care costs, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, pain and suffering, physical and mental anguish, property damage, physical pain, loss of mental capacity, loss of life/companionship and disfigurement.
Will I have to go to court for my personal injury claim?
In many instances with a knowledgeable and skilled Miami personal injury lawyer by your side a settlement can be reached before ever setting foot in court. Often times the settlement amount can be larger than any amount awarded by a judge or jury. However, if a settlement cannot be reached the case would than proceed to a civil trial.
Who can file a claim?
Under Florida law, a person may file a claim if they are a victim or relative of a victim. In many cases the sequence in which a relative may file a claim is as follows: surviving spouse, children, parent, sibling and then grandchildren. There are, however, a few circumstances in which others may be able to file a claim on behalf of a victim. Please contact the Law Offices of Jubin Jay Sharifi, APLC to find out whether or not you may qualify to file claim.
