FAQs | 305 HURT

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long will it take to resolve my case and receive my settlement?

The timeline for receiving compensation in a personal injury case can vary depending on several factors including the complexity of the case, the willingness of the insurance company to settle the claim, whether the case goes to trial, the severity of the client’s injury and the length of their treatment plan. On average, a case takes about 12 months from beginning to end. Some cases can settle within a few weeks, while others, especially those involving significant injuries or litigation, can take longer. The biggest determining factor for a case’s timeline is the client’s injury and how long it takes them to reach maximum medical improvement. Once the client has reached medical improvement and completed treatment, 305 HURT then retrieves all medical records, bills, and lost wage information to create a demand package that presents the client’s damages to the insurance company. At 305 HURT, we work diligently to resolve your case as quickly as possible, while also ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.

How much is my injury case worth?

The amount of compensation you can receive for your injury case depends on several factors. The severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, and the impact the injury has had on your life is important in determining what your case is worth. However, liability plays a crucial role in determining how much you can recover because it establishes who is legally responsible for the accident. Additionally, the available insurance coverage can affect how much compensation you receive because in most cases, it sets a limit on the funds available for compensation. At 305 HURT, we thoroughly evaluate all aspects of your claim to maximize your compensation; this includes pursuing other sources of insurance and coverage, if available and necessary. While it’s difficult to predict an exact amount upfront, our goal is to secure the highest possible settlement or verdict for your case.

If I am an undocumented person, can I still pursue an injury claim?

Yes, immigration status does not affect your ability to seek compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence in Florida. At 305 HURT, we treat every client with respect and ensure that your rights are protected, regardless of your legal status.

How much does it cost to hire you?

At 305 HURT, you do not pay anything out of pocket or upfront to hire us. Rather, we work on a contingency fee, meaning that the attorney’s fee will be a percentage of the final settlement that a client receives. In Florida, the standard contingency fee is 33 ⅓ percent of the settlement if the case is resolved prior to filing a lawsuit, and 40 percent of the settlement or verdict if the case requires litigation. Most of our cases resolve prior to litigation, incurring a fee of 33 ⅓ percent (one third) of the settlement. This arrangement ensures that you can pursue your claim without worrying about legal fees. At 305 HURT, we are committed to fighting for the compensation you deserve at no financial risk to you. Call us today; you have nothing to lose!

Do I need an attorney even if the insurance company has offered me a settlement?

It is important to consult with an attorney before accepting any settlement offer from an insurance company. Often, insurance companies try to settle claims for much less than what they are worth when an attorney is not involved. Let us help you maximize your compensation after an accident.

What does it mean that Florida is a “No-Fault” State?

What Does it Mean to be a “No-Fault” State?

Florida es un estado “sin culpa”, lo que significa que, tras un accidente de auto, su seguro cubre sus gastos médicos, independientemente de quién sea el responsable. Esto se realiza a través de la cobertura de Protección contra Lesiones Personales (PIP), exigida por ley y que cubre hasta $10,000 en facturas médicas y pérdida de ingresos.

Will my case go to trial?

It depends! Most of the time we are able to settle personal injury cases through negotiations and without litigation. However, in instances where a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial to ensure that you are properly compensated for your injuries and losses. Keep in mind that in Florida, around 95% of personal injury cases are settled outside of court and about 5% proceed to trial.

Who pays to get my car fixed after my car accident?

Who Pays To Fix My Car After an Accident?

Después de un accidente de auto, el seguro del conductor culpable generalmente paga las reparaciones de su vehículo, pero hay dos excepciones principales: cuando desea reparar su auto de inmediato y cuando hay problemas con los límites de cobertura. Las compañías de seguros generalmente no comienzan el proceso de daños a la propiedad hasta que confirman que el conductor tuvo la culpa, lo que puede tomar tiempo mientras revisan el informe policial y hablan con el asegurado. Si no quiere esperar, puede usar su propio seguro para reparar su auto más rápido. Otro problema pueden ser los límites de cobertura: Florida solo requiere que los conductores tengan $10,000 en Responsabilidad por Daños a la Propiedad, lo cual puede no ser suficiente para cubrir todas las reparaciones. En ambos casos, su seguro puede intervenir para cubrir los daños y luego solicitar el reembolso de la aseguradora de la parte culpable mediante un proceso llamado subrogación.
