Questions & Answers

1. How much money could my personal injury case be worth?
The value of your case is determined one of two ways. One way is by making a reasonable offer that is accepted by an insurance company. The other way is by going to trial, in which case it's worth the award granted by a judge and jury. Our legal team will examine all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to arrive at a figure that we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries. Generally, the dollar value is dependent upon the type and extent of injuries. Other factors influencing the dollar value of your case are the amount of medical bills, length of treatment, frequency of treatment, future medical bills, permanent disabilities, and any other documentable damage. Our personal injury lawyers study every detail so that we can get you the money you deserve for your injuries.

2. How long does it take to get a fair and reasonable settlement offer for a personal injury case?
Personal injury cases can vary in length from weeks to months, even years in some instances. Typically, you will get paid after you have healed from your injuries and have been released by your doctor. This is the best way you can be assured of receiving full value for your injuries and medical expenses. The more medical treatment you receive, the more valuable your case becomes. Our personal injury legal team wants you to get as much as possible for your injuries, so we wait until treatment is completed before telling the insurance company how much your case is worth. We never rest, however. While we wait for your treatment to be completed, we gather the information that increases the value of your case. Finizio & Finizio lawyers constantly do everything possible to move your case forward toward settlement.

3. Will I have to go to court?
If the insurance company agrees to pay what we say your case is worth, then your case will not go to court. This is what happens in most situations. Some cases do require a formal trial proceeding, however. In either situation hiring a law firm like Finizio & Finizio with experience in handling personal injury cases is critical. Our experienced Florida personal injury lawyers prepare all of our cases as if they are going to court, and this is the very reason why most of our cases get settled outside of court. We are always prepared, and our preparation allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, helping you get the maximum award for your injuries.

At Finizio & Finizio, only the best will handle your case. We're a team.

6. Is it okay for me to expect significant compensation for my pain?
Insurance companies put aside "pain and suffering" money to pay those who have been injured. It's perfectly okay to expect compensation for your injuries.

7. Can't any lawyer handle any type of case?
It's true that you could hire any Florida lawyer for your personal injury case, but not all attorneys have the training, expertise and trial experience that we have at Finizio & Finizio. We always represent our clients' best interests. You have a right to ask about the experience and training of the lawyer you hire, and you should exercise this right. All the personal injury attorneys at our firm are experienced trial lawyers.

8. Should I release my medical records to the insurance adjuster?
Definitely not. Releases should only be signed under limited circumstances and after consulting with a qualified personal injury trial lawyer. If your medical information gets into the insurance adjuster's hands, it could hurt your case.
