Free Case Evaluation & Contingency Fees: Start with Straight Answers
After an accident, the legal process can feel unfamiliar and overwhelming. Our goal is to make your first conversation simple and clear. When you contact The Watson Firm, PLLC, you can speak directly with a member of our team about what happened and what you need most right now.
Your first consultation is free, and you pay no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
During your first conversation, we’ll talk through:
- How Florida law applies to your situation, including any filing deadlines that might affect your claim.
- The strength of your case based on the evidence available and what additional documentation could help.
- The practical timeline: how long most cases take and what steps come next.
- What medical records and treatment notes matter most for building proof of your injuries.
- How fees work under a contingency agreement, so you know exactly when and how payment occurs.
To learn more about how contingency fees work and what they mean for your case, watch Attorney Aaron Watson explain how our contingency fee structure allows clients to focus on recovery, not costs:
How We Work Each Case from Intake to Resolution
- Intake & Investigation: We start with a detailed interview and document request, then order records and insurance information. If there is vehicle data, surveillance, or body camera footage, we move on it promptly. For premises claims, we seek incident reports, training materials, and inspection logs. For product cases, we look for prior complaints and patterns.
- Medical Proof & Damages: Treatment drives both recovery and valuation. We coordinate with your providers, obtain imaging and specialist notes, and verify billing. If future care is likely, we consult with the appropriate professionals and account for that in negotiations.
- Demand & Negotiation: Once liability and damages are documented, we prepare a demand package that tells the full story. We address comparative fault head-on, highlight policy limits and additional coverage where available, and negotiate with an eye on trial preparation rather than quick numbers that leave value on the table.
- Litigation When Needed: Not every case requires a lawsuit. When it does, we file with a clear plan, retain the right experts, and prepare for depositions and hearings with the end in mind. We keep you updated at each step so you are never guessing about what comes next.
Florida Personal Injury Claims: Deadlines, Fault, & What Could Change Your Outcome
Two rules shape most injury cases in Florida.
- Filing Deadline: The statute of limitations for general negligence is two years for incidents that occurred on or after March 24, 2023. Miss it and the claim can be barred. From day one, we calendar your deadline, identify any exceptions that might apply, and move quickly to preserve the record.
- Comparative Fault: Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system for most cases. If a claimant is found more than 50 percent at fault, they cannot recover. The allocation of fault can turn on small details. We gather photographs, video, event data from vehicles when available, store or property maintenance logs, incident reports, and medical documentation that ties the injury to the event. For medical negligence claims, different statutory procedures and standards apply, and the 51 percent bar does not operate in the same way. We will explain these differences if your case involves a provider.
Clear evidence makes these rules work for you. That is why we interview witnesses early, secure records before they go missing, and work with treating providers so your medical story is accurate and complete.
