Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to commonly asked questions about our legal services, process, and what to expect when working with Podor Law.

How do I know if I have a valid personal injury claim?

To have a valid personal injury claim, you generally need to demonstrate that: (1) someone else was negligent or at fault, (2) their negligence directly caused your injuries, and (3) you suffered damages as a result. Common examples include car accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, or medical malpractice. Every case is unique, so we recommend scheduling a free consultation with our team to evaluate the specifics of your situation.

How much does it cost to hire Podor Law?

We work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, which means there are no upfront costs or hourly fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation for you, typically taking a percentage of the final settlement or court award. This arrangement ensures our interests are aligned with yours – we only succeed when you do. During your initial consultation, we'll explain our fee structure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

The statute of limitations (deadline to file) varies by state and case type. In Ohio, most personal injury claims must be filed within 2 years from the date of injury. Florida generally allows 4 years for most personal injury cases. However, certain circumstances can extend or shorten these deadlines. Claims against government entities often have special requirements and shorter timelines. It's crucial to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury to ensure you don't miss critical deadlines.

What types of compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?

Potential compensation in a personal injury case may include: medical expenses (past and future), lost wages and diminished earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. In wrongful death cases, family members may recover funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship. Our attorneys work diligently to ensure all applicable damages are identified and properly valued to maximize your recovery.

How long will my personal injury case take to resolve?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies significantly depending on factors such as case complexity, severity of injuries, clarity of liability, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Some straightforward cases may settle within 6-9 months, while more complex cases can take 1-3 years or longer. We understand that waiting can be difficult, but rushing a case often results in inadequate compensation. Our goal is to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring you receive fair compensation for your injuries.

What should I do immediately after an accident or injury?

After an accident: (1) Seek medical attention immediately, even if injuries seem minor; (2) Report the incident to appropriate authorities (police, employer, property owner); (3) Document everything – take photos of injuries, accident scene, and property damage; (4) Obtain contact and insurance information from all involved parties; (5) Get contact information from witnesses; (6) Do not give recorded statements to insurance companies; (7) Keep records of all medical treatments and expenses; and (8) Contact our office as soon as possible to protect your rights and preserve evidence.

Will my personal injury case go to trial?

The majority of personal injury cases (approximately 95%) are resolved through settlement before trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure the strongest possible position for negotiations. If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, we won't hesitate to take your case to court. Our experienced trial attorneys have a proven track record of success in the courtroom. Throughout the process, we'll advise you on the strengths and weaknesses of your case so you can make informed decisions about settlement offers versus proceeding to trial.
