Frequentlyasked questions about attorneys in jacksonville florida

Q. I've been injured. What's my first step?
A. Your first step is to contact Camerlengo Law Group today. Your initial consultation is absolutely free of charge and completely confidential. And it can be the start of a relationship that offers personal contact with your attorney every time you call or visit.

Q. How much will an attorney cost me?
A. Almost without exception, personal-injury attorneys charge no direct fee for handling your case. Instead, attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means that the attorney will be paid a percentage of any settlement or verdict amount awarded to you. If your case is unsuccessful, the attorney will receive no compensation. The standard contingency-fee agreement approved by the Supreme Court of Florida states that attorneys receive 33-1/3% of any case that is settled before litigation of 40% of any award following the filing of a lawsuit and the start of litigation. We will be glad to discuss the details of your case in person.

Q. I’ve been injured. Do I really need an attorney?
A. Hiring an experienced attorney is the most certain way to receive justice. Chances are good that you will be dealing with insurance companies who will be working in their own best interests—not yours. We believe it is very important to hire an attorney who can work in—and protect—your best interests.

Q. What’s the best way to choose an attorney?
A. Let’s start with the worst way to choose an attorney. And that is to do it based on advertisements. You should always meet with an attorney in person to get a feel for her or his personality, experience and dedication to your interests. Your relationship must be based on trust, and only a personal meeting can determine the level of trust you will place in an attorney. At Camerlengo Law Group, we will be happy to offer this initial consultation at absolutely no charge to you.

Q. I’ve had an accident. What should I do?
A. You should always report any accident to your own insurance company and the appropriate law-enforcement agency. Always be courteous with your insurer, but firmly tell the company representative that you will call back with your statement. Always remember that insurance companies work in their own best interest, and that means paying you as little as possible in compensation for an accident.
