Legal Question in Personal Injury in Florida

Sure they can close file. You have 4 years to pursue your claim. You let a significant time elapse and devalued case as a result. You should have hired an attorney early on. We're photos taken of negligent dangerous condition ?

Yes. You can sue them if you can prove they were at fault.

I agree with both of the last two attorneys who replied. I just signed on to echo the fact that anyone who has an accident should call an attorney ASAP, not 2 years after the accident. Many things need to happen quickly to optimize the value of any case. Plus, except in a very narrow group of cases, talking to the adjuster yourself can do nothing but hurt your case value. They seek information with the only goal of paying you less money, and you will not know the innocent statements that could devalue your case. Again, you need a lawyer speaking for you. I personally haven't known anyone who was seriously injured AND had a decent amount of coverage get anywhere near what I thought was a reasonable value for the case when handling on their own. Lawyers file lawsuits and they aren't simple. So the idea of representing yourself is extremely short-sighted. I'm guessing we would have to decline this case based on things that probably haven't happened since the accident. I never know for sure but not talking to a lawyer early is often a deal breaker, especially for slip and fall cases, and even more true if you don't have clear photos or other evidence of liability. Lawyers could have helped you collect and establish needed evidence, much earlier in the process. That all being said, sometimes I take cases where a lot of time has passed. But very often I cannot -- due to evidence not collected or established.
