What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?

As your legal representative, your personal injury lawyer will take on the role of presenting your case and pursuing compensation on your behalf, meaning they will lead the navigation of your case and work with the opposing party or parties to reach either a settlement deal or verdict.

Their tasks may include:

• Making statements on your behalf to protect your case
• Negotiating with the insurance company or opposing party to reach a settlement deal
• Responding to legal messages or offers you receive
• Presenting your case in court and advocating for your legal interests to a judge and jury
• Handling other court dealings and legal motions

At Distasio Law Firm, our personal injury lawyers pride themselves on putting clients and their interests first. We aim to give you the “Distasio Difference,” in that we aim to build a relationship with you so that we can accurately convey your story.

How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?

At Distasio Law Firm, we do not have a set “price” for our services. Instead, we discuss a fee agreement system with our clients.

Our legal team in Tampa works on a contingency fee basis. This means we receive our attorney’s fees only if we successfully secure compensation for you, in which case, we will take a percentage of your reward. If you don’t get a settlement or an award in a court case, you don’t owe us anything.

This allows our clients to afford our services without having to worry about the “cost” of a personal injury lawyer. Since our fees get paid through your reward, you never have to pay us yourself.

When Should You Get a Personal Injury Lawyer?

You should call Distasio Law Firm to hire a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible, as your case may be on a strict deadline should you decide to submit a lawsuit. For example, all personal injury lawsuits must be submitted within four years of the date of the accident, as outlined in Florida Statutes § 95.11(3)(a).

Our firm will commit the time and resources to your case so that you can submit it within its legal time frame. When we work together:

• We advise you of the good and bad so that you fully understand all the possibilities of your case.
• We act as your advocates throughout every stage of your case.
• We make ourselves available to speak with you when you want legal guidance.
• We put your interests ahead of our own.

Many cases resolve through a settlement before reaching the trial phase, but if an insurer can’t or won’t offer a fair settlement, we’re prepared to take your case to court.
