“I didn't expect to get anything from a settlement from my accident but this law firm did everything for me. Amazing job, I was going to leave rehab broke because of being hospitalized and not able to work but they worked their magic and was able to make something out of nothing. Very appreciated”

Straight answers
Questions people ask after an accident.
How much does it cost to speak with Graves Thomas?
Your initial consultation is free. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, so there are no upfront attorney’s fees and the firm is paid only if it obtains a recovery for you.
Should I talk to the insurance company first?
Insurance adjusters may ask for statements or authorizations soon after a crash. You can speak with a lawyer before agreeing to anything. Graves Thomas can handle insurer communication if the firm accepts your case.
How long do I have to bring a personal injury claim in Florida?
Deadlines depend on the facts, the date of the incident, and who may be responsible. Some notice periods can be much shorter than expected. Contact a lawyer promptly so the applicable deadline can be evaluated.
What if I am not sure I have a case?
That is exactly what a free case review is for. Tell us what happened and our team can explain whether more investigation is needed and what options may be available.
