Serious Injuries Deserve Serious Representation. No Fees Unless We Win.
An accident caused by someone else’s negligence does not just cause physical harm — it disrupts your income, your family, and your sense of stability all at once. Medical bills arrive before you have recovered. Insurance companies begin working against your interests before you have had time to process what happened.
You do not have to face that alone. Lamar Legal represents personal injury victims throughout Florida who were hurt because of another party’s carelessness or wrongdoing. We pursue full compensation while guiding you clearly through every step of the legal process — and we do not charge fees unless we win.

What Compensation Can You Recover?
Under Florida law, injured victims may recover both economic and non-economic damages. Understanding the full scope of what your case is worth ensures you do not accept less than you deserve.
Economic Damages
- Medical expenses — past and future, including emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation, and medication
- Lost wages during recovery and loss of future earning capacity
- Property damage — vehicle repair or replacement, personal property
- Future medical care costs for ongoing or permanent injuries
Non-Economic Damages
- Pain and suffering — physical and emotional
- Mental anguish and psychological trauma, including PTSD
- Loss of enjoyment of life and reduced quality of life
- Loss of consortium and companionship for spouses and families
- Permanent disability, disfigurement, or impairment
No Fees Unless We Win
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. That means no upfront fees, no hourly billing, and no retainer.
We advance all costs — investigation, expert witnesses, court fees, depositions — and we only collect a fee if we recover compensation for you.
Specifically, our fee is a percentage of the recovery: typically one-third if the case settles before a lawsuit is filed, and typically 40% if litigation is required. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.
Frequently Asked
Questions – Florida Personal Injury
-
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
A: Florida’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident — reduced from 4 years in 2023. Specific deadlines vary by case type: wrongful death is 2 years from the date of death; medical malpractice is 2 years from discovery (4-year absolute maximum); claims against government entities require a special 3-year notice. Missing the deadline permanently eliminates your right to compensation. If you are approaching the deadline, contact us immediately — we can often file a protective claim to preserve your rights.
-
How much does a Florida personal injury lawyer cost?
Q: How much does a Florida personal injury lawyer cost?
A: Nothing upfront. We work on contingency — no consultation fee, no retainer, and no hourly billing. We advance all costs and collect a percentage only if we win. If we do not recover compensation for you, you pay nothing. Our fee is typically one-third of the settlement if resolved before a lawsuit, and typically 40% if litigation is required.
-
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
A: Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule as of 2023. If you are found to be more than 50% at fault for the accident, you cannot recover damages. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault and your total damages are $100,000, you would recover $80,000. Do not assume partial fault eliminates your claim — let us evaluate the facts before drawing that conclusion.
-
Should I accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer?
Q: Should I accept the insurance company’s first settlement offer?
A: No — not without first having your case professionally evaluated. Initial settlement offers from insurance companies typically represent 20–40% of a case’s actual value. They are made early, before the full extent of your injuries is documented and before you understand all the damages you can claim. We evaluate your case at no cost and give you an honest assessment of whether an offer is fair before you make any decisions.
-
What should I do immediately after an accident in Florida?
Q: What should I do immediately after an accident in Florida?
A: Seek medical attention first, even if you feel fine — some injuries have delayed symptoms. Call police and get a report. Document the scene with photos if you are able. Do not give recorded statements to the other party’s insurance company. Do not post about the accident on social media. Preserve all bills, receipts, and correspondence. Contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible — evidence disappears quickly and early representation makes a meaningful difference in case outcomes.
