Seminole County Legal Questions - Thompson, Recksiedler & Evangelo

As attorneys we are frequently asked common questions by our friends, neighbors and clients. While there usually is no general answer to these questions, which will cover everyone, there is certain information we can pass on to you.

Remember the best course of action is to consult an attorney who is experienced in the area of law in which your questions arises, and allow the attorney to give you a legal opinion based on the specific facts of your case.

What is my case worth?

There is no easy answer to this question. If your case involves a personal injury claim, you may be entitled to a financial settlement for your medical expenses, wage loss and pain and suffering (both past and future). The exact value of your case is determined upon several circumstances, such as how your accident occurred, the severity of the injuries sustained and the amount of medical expenses and wage loss (both past and future).

How much will legal services cost me?

If you do not obtain a recovery, then there is no fee owed. If your case involves personal injury or wrongful death, then the legal fee will be a percentage of your gross financial recovery, in addition to any costs incurred during our involvement in your claim.

Who will pay for my medical bills?

Generally, if you have been injured in an automobile accident and you own a car, then your personal automobile insurance company will pay 80% of your medical bills, up to a maximum of $10,000, regardless of who was at fault for causing the accident. If you were not at fault for causing the accident, the remaining 20% balance will be included as part of your claim against the at-fault driver. If you were at fault for the accident, then you will be responsible for the 20% balance.

Where will my lawsuit be filed?

If a lawsuit must be filed in your case, the venue will depend on several factors. In general, if you have a personal injury case, the lawsuit will be filed either in the county where the accident occurred or the county where the defendant resides.

How long will my case take?

With personal injury claims, we will generally seek a settlement soon after your doctor releases you from needing any further medical treatment.
