How much does it cost to hire The Farber Law Firm?

Most personal injury and insurance claims are handled on contingency — you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover for you. Consultations are free.

What areas of Florida do you serve?

We represent clients throughout Florida — including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville — and handle qualifying matters nationwide.

How quickly should I contact a lawyer after an accident or insurance denial?

As soon as possible. Florida law imposes strict deadlines — including a 2-year statute of limitations for most negligence claims under HB 837 and pre-suit notice requirements for insurance disputes under § 627.70152.

Do you handle cases outside Florida?

Yes. The firm is admitted in Florida, Texas, New York, and Tennessee, and works with local counsel on qualifying cases nationwide.

What is the Florida statute of limitations for a personal injury claim?

For negligence-based injury claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the incident to file a lawsuit under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(4)(a) (formerly § 95.11(5)(a) before reorganization). Claims against government entities require shorter pre-suit notice.

How does Florida's 50%-bar comparative fault rule work?

Under Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6), as amended by HB 837 in 2023, an injured plaintiff who is found to be more than 50% at fault for their own injury recovers nothing. If you are 50% or less at fault, your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.

What is PIP and the 14-day medical rule?

Florida is a no-fault state. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) under Fla. Stat. § 627.736 pays up to $10,000 of medical bills and lost wages regardless of fault, but you must receive initial care from a qualified provider within 14 days of a motor vehicle accident or you lose PIP eligibility entirely.

Why do insurance companies make low early offers?

Carriers offer fast lowball settlements before the full extent of injuries, future treatment needs, and lost earning capacity is known. Once you sign a release, the claim is closed even if your condition worsens. Speak to a lawyer before accepting any offer.

What does a contingency fee cover?

A contingency fee means you pay no attorney's fees unless your case recovers compensation. The Farber Law Firm advances most case costs and is reimbursed only out of any recovery. Consultations are free.

Should I settle or go to trial?

Most Florida injury cases resolve at mediation, but the credible threat of trial is what drives full-value settlements. The right answer depends on the strength of liability, the insurer's posture, and the size of the available policy.
