Collins Law Firm, P.A.
When you contact our Firm, you will speak directly with the experienced paralegal or legal assistant to Attorney Jimmy Collins. You will be asked questions to allow us to understand the details of your potential claim. This helps us determine if our Firm is the best type of Firm to handle your claim. At that time, if it is determined that our Firm may be able to assist, we will schedule an in-person or phone conference with our potential clients.
During the initial consultation, we will look at any documents you have that relate to your potential case. These include accident reports, medical records, pictures, contracts, phone records, insurance documents, and anything else you may have collected. We will review the documents provided to assist in determining if we can proceed with representation. We will talk with you about the litigation process and how we may be able to help. If it becomes clear that your case is one where we can help and you decide that you would like us to be your attorney, we will enter into a legal contract agreement that governs our services.
Following contract signature, you will be asked to provide detailed information on all parties which will be associated with your claim. This can included physicians, witnesses, work history, education background, prior injuries/medical conditions or prior legal claim
For a Personal Injury Claim, the Florida Statutes section 95.11(3)(a) injury victims have two years to file a claim before the statute of limitations ends. This means you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. Florida does recognize some exceptions to this rule such as in cases where the defendant intentionally tried to conceal themselves or the claimant was under a form of legal disability. Each type of claim we provide representation for has a unique Statute of Limitation, which will be explained during the initial consultation.
