Law Offices of James G. Graver, P.A.

<p>This is the most common question that people have when trying to determine whether to hire an attorney. The simple answer is, it depends. There are so many factors that determine the value of a case and no two identical injuries are worth the same. Factors such as the type and seriousness of injury as well as the circumstances of the injury are important. You should be extremely wary if an attorney tells you in the beginning of your case what your case is worth because each individual injury is unique with its own unique set of facts. Typically, the true value of an individual case can only be determined after a complete and thorough investigation of ALL of the facts. At Graver Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we have nearly two decades of experience investigating and evaluating thousands and thousands of different personal injury claims. Let our expert legal team evaluate your case today.</p>

<p>The is the second most common question that people have. Again, the simple answer is, it depends. In Florida, the injured individual bringing a claim has the burden to show (through their attorney) that the at-fault party was negligent, that the negligence caused an injury, that damages were incurred, i.e., medical bills, lost wages, out-of-pocket expenses, in some cases that the injury is permanent, and that the injury, damages, permanency is directly attributable to the at fault party’s negligence. In almost every case, the insurance company and/or lawyer representing the at fault party insists on obtaining all of the available facts and evidence before they can decide how to treat your individual claim. This can take months and sometimes years depending upon whether the case settles early on or whether a lawsuit has to be filed in order to try to maximize your recovery. Every case is unique with its own unique set of facts. If you would like additional information about your case, please contact us today for a free consultation and let us answer all of the questions that you may have.</p>

<p>The decision whether to go to trial is an important one. Most cases settle without having to go to trial; however, sometimes this decision will have to be made during the lawsuit if one is filed. At Graver Law Personal Injury Attorneys, each individual case is prepared as if it will ultimately proceed to trial in the event that it becomes necessary to do so. We provide our clients with ALL of the information, including options, risks, benefits and recommendations; however; the final decision ALWAYS rests with the client.</p>

The percentage that a law firm charges for their legal services is set forth by guidelines provided by the Florida Bar and rules regulating Florida attorneys. Typically, the standard contingency fee charged is 33.3% of any gross recovery if a lawsuit does not have to be filed and 40% of the gross recovery if a lawsuit has to be filed. In addition, all litigation costs paid up front by the attorney are reimbursed to the law firm and all medical liens are paid to the provider, if any prior to any recovery to the client. At Graver Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we provide a comprehensive breakdown to the client of all fees, costs, liens and net recovery prior to any settlement proceeds being dispersed so that the client is completely informed.</p></div></div></div></div></div></section><section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-79c941e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default" data-id="79c941e" data-element_type="section" data-settings="{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}"></section>
