What Is a Personal Injury Case?
A personal injury case arises when someone is injured due to the negligence, recklessness, or wrongful actions of another person, company, or institution. To succeed in a personal injury claim in Florida, four elements must generally be established:
– Duty — the at-fault party had a legal responsibility to act with reasonable care
– Breach — they failed to meet that standard of care
– Causation — their failure directly caused your injury
– Damages — you suffered real harm as a result
At The Maher Law Firm our Orlando personal injury lawyers investigate every element of your case, gather evidence, consult medical and industry experts, and build the strongest possible claim on your behalf.

How the Personal Injury Claims Process Works in Florida
Many injury victims are unfamiliar with the legal process. Here is a straightforward overview of how a personal injury case typically works in Florida:
1. Free Consultation — You meet with one of our Orlando personal injury lawyers at no cost to discuss your case and determine whether you have a viable claim.
2. Investigation — We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, surveillance footage, and any other evidence needed to build your case.
3. Medical Treatment — We work with your medical providers to ensure your injuries are properly documented throughout your treatment.
4. Demand and Negotiation — We submit a formal demand to the insurance company and negotiate aggressively for a fair settlement.
5. Litigation — If the insurance company refuses to pay what your case is worth, we file a lawsuit and take your case to court. We are not afraid to go to trial.
6. Resolution — Whether through settlement or verdict, we fight for the maximum compensation you deserve.
Throughout every step The Maher Law Firm keeps you informed and in control of your case.

Frequently Asked Questions — Orlando Personal Injury Lawyer
Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
A: In most personal injury cases in Florida you have two years from the date of your injury to file a lawsuit. Missing this deadline permanently eliminates your right to recover compensation. Contact The Maher Law Firm as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Q: How much does it cost to hire an Orlando personal injury lawyer?
A: Nothing upfront. The Maher Law Firm works on a pure contingency fee basis meaning you pay zero attorney fees unless we recover money for you. Your initial consultation is completely free.
Q: What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
A: You can still recover compensation. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule meaning your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault as long as you are not found more than 50 percent at fault. Do not assume you cannot recover — contact us for a free evaluation.
Q: How long does a personal injury case take in Florida?
A: It depends on the complexity of your case. Many cases resolve through settlement within 6 to 18 months. Cases that go to trial can take longer. The Maher Law Firm works efficiently to resolve cases as quickly as possible without sacrificing the compensation you deserve.
Q: What should I do immediately after being injured?
A: Seek medical attention immediately even if you feel fine. Document everything including photos of the scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with a lawyer. Contact The Maher Law Firm for a free consultation as soon as possible.
Q: Does The Maher Law Firm handle cases outside of Orlando?
A: Yes. While our office is located in Winter Park we represent personal injury victims throughout Central Florida including Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Volusia, Lake, Brevard, and Polk counties.
