Experienced Personal Injury Attorney in Davie, Florida

Yes. The Costello Law Group represents people injured in Davie, including those who live elsewhere in Florida or were visiting the area. The firm’s office is in nearby Cooper City. During your consultation, we can discuss where the accident occurred, who was involved, and whether the firm can assist with your claim.

Bring any accident or incident report, photographs, witness information, medical records, bills, and correspondence from insurance companies. Information about missed work and lost income can also be helpful. You do not need every document before contacting us—a brief timeline and the records you already have are a useful starting point.

Many personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning the attorney’s fee depends on recovering compensation. Case expenses are separate from attorney’s fees. Before hiring a lawyer, review the written agreement so you understand the fee percentage, how expenses are handled, and any responsibility for costs if there is no recovery.

Possibly. Under Florida’s comparative fault rules, compensation may be reduced by your share of responsibility. In negligence cases covered by the greater-than-50-percent rule, someone found more than 50% responsible for their own harm cannot recover damages. The rules that apply depend on the type of claim and other circumstances, so an insurance company’s allegation of fault should not be treated as the final answer.

The timeline depends on your medical treatment, the available evidence, disagreements about responsibility, insurance coverage, and whether a lawsuit becomes necessary. Some claims resolve through negotiations, while others require litigation. Evaluating ongoing treatment and potential future losses is an important part of deciding when a settlement offer can be assessed fairly.

Consider whether the offer accounts for your documented losses and any ongoing effects of the injury. A settlement release may prevent you from seeking additional compensation for the same claim later. Before signing, make sure you understand what claims you are releasing, what expenses remain outstanding, and how much you would actually receive.
