Were you hurt due to another person’s carelessness in Tampa? You could use advice from a Tampa personal injury lawyer at Dismuke Law.
Our personal injury attorney can assist you in filing your claim, investigating the cause of your injuries, gathering evidence, identifying the liable party, and more. You focus on recovering; we’ll handle all the legal work.
What Is My Case Worth?
Your case is valued at the sum of your losses, making each case unique. Your lawyer will value your damages and determine what you are entitled to in compensation.
You can claim any accident-related losses you endured, economic or non-economic. Your attorney will use evidence to demonstrate your losses to the insurance company and the court if needed.
Types of Recoverable Damages
Economic damages are your financial losses. If your injuries caused you to incur costs for treatment, these are economic damages. You can use bills or receipts to demonstrate your burden.
Non-economic damages include those intangible losses that don’t come with a defined price tag. You may have endured a great deal of pain from your injury, which is a loss to you. Non-economic damages cover mental anguish, pain and suffering, or loss of society.

How Can Dismuke Law Benefit My Claim in Tampa?
Our help can significantly benefit an injury victim. For example, collecting your compensation involves filing a claim and negotiating a settlement. You can file this yourself, of course, but it may not be wise. Remember, when you begin to arrange your payment with the insurance provider, you face a team of professional negotiators and lawyers working solely to reduce the compensation you receive.
When you hire us, we help you take on the insurer. You will have your lawyer working to bring you the fairest amount. Your lawyer may enlist the help of investigators and accident reconstructionists, too, to help prove the negligent party is liable for your injuries and damages.
Your lawyer and these experts can determine the cause of your injuries, name the liable party, and demonstrate your need for compensation.

I’m Out of Work; How Much does Hiring a Lawyer Cost?
Justice is not only for those who can afford it. In most cases, a percentage of your settlement is exchanged for legal services to lessen your burden. Personal injury attorneys understand that every penny counts when you are injured and not working.
Our firm works for a contingency fee, so there will be no upfront or hourly costs.
Contingency Fee Arrangement
A contingency fee works to help those out of work and unable to pay for legal help. You sign an agreement to pay a percentage of your compensation in exchange for the lawyer taking responsibility for managing your case.
Free Consultation
If you feel unsure about legal representation, take advantage of a free consultation. A compassionate team member will examine your case and discuss your options. You can also ask questions during your appointment and gain the information you need to decide.

Does Florida Limit the Time I Have to File a Lawsuit?
Yes. Each state has a deadline for filing a lawsuit, called the statute of limitations.
According to Florida Statutes § 95.11, you could have up to four years to file your lawsuit. If a government entity caused your injury, then local restrictions could apply. You should ask Dave, your personal injury attorney, to be sure about your deadline to take action.

Who Is Responsible for the Damages?
The party responsible for your damages depends on your accident. If you fell and hurt yourself in the grocery store because the floor was wet, the liable party would be the company. If you were in a car accident, the liable party could be the other driver or the driver’s employer, to name a few possibilities.
If you fell over a broken step on someone’s personal property, the homeowners insurance policy would cover it.
To determine the responsible party, we will investigate the accident. Based on our discovery, we could pinpoint the liable party and demonstrate carelessness or negligence on their part.
Proving Liability
You could be anywhere doing anything when you get injured. When your case is presented, your attorney will show the liable party was directly involved or responsible for any conditions that caused the accident.
Your lawyer will prove liability by demonstrating the four elements of negligence:
- The liable party owed you a duty of care
- The liable party breached their duty of care
- The liable party caused your injuries through this breach of duty of care
- You have damages as a result of your injuries
