If going to court is what will ultimately make the other party pay what they owe you, Morgan and Morgan lawyers are always ready to face the judge, jury, and the defense team on your behalf. To us, going to court is just part of the process.

This determination and fearlessness send a powerful message to the other party; they either agree to settle the case out of court or risk facing America's largest and most powerful injury firm in court.   

Yes, like every state in the US, Florida has a statute of limitations for motorcycle accident lawsuits, which is generally four years from the date of the accident. Failing to file within this timeframe can result in the dismissal of your case. If that happens, you won't be able to pursue compensation for your injuries and losses.

Most motorcycle accident attorneys use the contingency payment system. Here is what you need to know about it. 

• You do not have to pay any upfront fees or retainer; if you win the case, the lawyer will deduct a small percentage of the settlement to cover their fees and other expenses. 
• Instead of charging a fixed hourly rate, which can be expensive for the plaintiff seeking compensation for their injuries and losses, the only way the lawyer gets paid using this system is if they win your case and receive compensation.
• The specific percentage the attorney will deduct can vary but is usually around 30% to 40% of the total recovery.  
• In this payment agreement, there are no financial risks involved for the plaintiff. 

The contingency payment system has many advantages. We've covered more in this article.

To maximize your claim, you should prioritize your health. Remember to follow your doctor's instructions; it shows you are committed to your recovery. 

Insurance companies will question the severity of your injuries if they find gaps in your treatment process. So if you intend to miss any of your medical appointments, make sure your doctor and attorney know about it in advance.

Secondly, you should maintain a thorough record of all medical bills and expenses incurred as a result of the accident. This is part of the documentation your attorney will need to substantiate your claim.

Speaking of an attorney, hiring one significantly increases your chances of getting favorable results. That's because your attorney will do everything to protect your rights and advocate for your best interests.  

Admitting fault or making any statements that may be construed as accepting blame for the accident could jeopardize the entire claim. Remember, Florida is a pure comparative negligence state, and the last thing you want is to share a fault with the other party simply because you were misunderstood when you innocently apologized to the other driver after the accident. 

Insurance companies may ask you to sign certain documents or provide recorded statements, claiming it is part of the claims process. That's one of the many tactics they use to trick claimants into jeopardizing their claims. To be safe, consult your attorney for further directions. They will handle everything directly with the insurance provider, protecting you from anything that could potentially jeopardize your claim.

Failing to seek legal representation is one of the reasons some accident victims do not recover full damages after such accidents. That's a mistake you cannot afford to make at this point. Your full recovery hugely depends on the quality of medical care you receive. Your mental and emotional being is equally important. If you lost a loved one, you deserve compensation for funeral expenses, the financial gap they left behind, and more.
