At Lowman Law Firm, we know that navigating a personal injury case can feel overwhelming—especially when you’re recovering from a traumatic event. You likely have questions about your rights, the legal process, and what to expect next. That’s why we’ve compiled this list of frequently asked questions to help you better understand how personal injury claims work and how our team can support you every step of the way.
1. What types of personal injury cases does Lowman Law Firm handle?
Lowman Law Firm represents clients in a broad range of personal injury cases, including car accidents, motorcycle crashes, truck accidents, slip and fall incidents, wrongful death claims, and more. Each case is approached with personalized attention and a dedication to maximizing client compensation. Whether you’ve been hurt in a traffic collision or injured due to negligence on someone else’s property, our team is equipped to guide you through the legal process.
2. How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney at Lowman Law Firm?
We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our fees are only collected if we successfully secure compensation for you. This ensures that our interests are aligned with yours—our success is directly tied to your outcome. You don’t have to worry about legal bills while trying to recover from your injury.
3. What should I do immediately after an accident?
Your first priority should always be your health—seek medical attention, even if injuries seem minor. Document the scene by taking photographs, gather contact information from witnesses, and file a police report. Avoid giving statements to insurance adjusters without speaking to an attorney. Then, contact Lowman Law Firm for a free case evaluation so we can begin protecting your rights.
4. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Florida law generally allows four years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. However, specific circumstances—such as claims against government entities or wrongful death cases—can have shorter time limits. Acting promptly ensures that critical evidence is preserved and your claim is filed within the appropriate window.
5. What kind of compensation can I receive in a personal injury case?
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and in some cases, punitive damages. The total amount depends on the severity of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the extent of the defendant’s negligence. Our firm works diligently to calculate and pursue the full value of your claim.
6. Will I have to go to court for my personal injury case?
Many personal injury cases are settled outside of court through negotiations. However, if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial. Lowman Law Firm has a proven track record in both settlement negotiations and courtroom litigation, and we’ll guide you through either path.
7. What sets Lowman Law Firm apart from other personal injury firms?
We pride ourselves on personalized service, treating every client like family. Unlike larger firms that may pass your case to a junior associate, at Lowman Law Firm you receive direct access to experienced attorneys who know your name and your story. We combine small-town care with big-city legal expertise to deliver outstanding results.
8. How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence—whether it’s another driver, a property owner, or a business—you may have a valid claim. Schedule a free consultation with our team and we’ll evaluate the details of your case. We’ll provide honest advice about your legal options and what to expect moving forward.
9. How long does it take to resolve a personal injury case?
The timeline varies widely depending on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take over a year. At Lowman Law Firm, we work efficiently to move your case forward while never compromising the quality of your settlement.
10. What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly at fault, as long as you are not more than 50% responsible. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your share of the blame. We’ll work to minimize your fault and maximize your recovery.
