Straight Answers to Frequently Asked Questions About Your Orlando Injury Case

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay zero dollars out of pocket to hire us. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing. There are no hidden costs, no retainer fees, and no hourly billing. The initial consultation is always free and confidential.

That is exactly what the free consultation is for. Call us at (407) 777-8888 or fill out our online form, and we will review the details of your situation at no cost and no obligation. We will tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim, what it could be worth, and what your next steps should be. There is never any pressure to hire us.

If you were injured due to someone else's negligence — whether in a car accident, slip and fall, workplace incident, or another situation — you likely have a case. The key elements are: (1) someone else was at fault, (2) you suffered an injury, and (3) you incurred damages (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering). Being partly at fault does not automatically end your claim: under Florida's comparative negligence law (as changed by HB 837 in 2023), you can still recover as long as you were not more than 50% at fault, though your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame. The best way to find out is to call us at (407) 777-8888 for a free, no-obligation case evaluation. We will give you an honest assessment.

You are not required to hire a lawyer. But insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize what they pay you, and having an experienced personal injury attorney levels the playing field. We handle all negotiations, paperwork, deadlines, and — if necessary — litigation, so you can focus on your recovery.

Look for an attorney who works on contingency (no upfront fees), has experience with your type of case, communicates clearly, and is willing to go to trial if needed. Avoid firms that treat you like a number or push you to settle quickly for less than you deserve. At ANT Law Firm, you get direct attorney access, transparent communication, and a team that prepares every case for trial. Our 5.0-star rating across 130+ Google reviews reflects the standard of service we provide.

A retainer agreement is the contract between you and ANT Law Firm that formally establishes the attorney-client relationship. It outlines the scope of our representation, the contingency fee structure (you pay nothing unless we win), and your rights as a client. We explain every provision in plain language before you sign, and you are welcome to ask as many questions as you need. There is no cost to sign.

Once you sign the retainer agreement, we get to work immediately. We open an investigation into your accident, gather evidence (police reports, medical records, photos, witness statements), send a letter of representation to the insurance company so they stop contacting you directly, and coordinate your medical treatment if needed. Throughout this process, we keep you informed and handle all communication with the insurance companies on your behalf.

Clear communication is one of our core values. You will have direct access to your attorney by phone, email, and text. We proactively call you with updates — you should never have to chase us for information. During key stages of your case (investigation, demand, negotiation, and resolution), we will walk you through what is happening and what to expect next. Our team, including Magdiel, Ellen, Magali, and Camila, is here to answer your questions.

Every case is different. Some straightforward claims settle within a few weeks, while more complex cases involving severe injuries, disputed liability, or litigation can take several months to over a year. Factors that affect the timeline include the severity of your injuries, whether you have finished medical treatment, the complexity of the accident, and whether the insurance company cooperates. We always keep you informed about where your case stands and never rush a settlement that undervalues your claim.

Resolution timelines vary. After you complete medical treatment, we compile your full damages, draft a demand package, and submit it to the insurance company. Negotiations can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on the insurer's response. If the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation, we file a lawsuit and pursue your case through litigation. We never accept a lowball offer just to close a case quickly — your recovery comes first.

Insurance companies deny claims for many reasons — some legitimate, many not. If your claim is denied, we review the denial, gather additional evidence, and either appeal the decision or file a lawsuit. Having an attorney is especially important after a denial because insurers count on unrepresented victims giving up. We do not give up. We prepare every case for trial, and insurance companies know it.

Most personal injury cases settle before trial — but not all. We prepare every case as if it will go to trial. That preparation gives us leverage during negotiations because the insurance company knows we are serious. If they refuse to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to present your case to a jury.

Car accidents are our most common case type. We handle everything: investigating the accident, gathering police reports and medical records, communicating with insurance adjusters, coordinating your medical treatment, negotiating a fair settlement, and filing a lawsuit if necessary. Under Florida's no-fault law, your own PIP coverage pays first — up to $10,000 for medical bills and lost wages, no matter who caused the crash. When your injuries are serious, we pursue the at-fault driver's insurance for the rest. Whether you were rear-ended, T-boned, hit by a drunk driver, or involved in a multi-car pileup, we know how to build a strong case and fight for the full compensation you are owed.

Yes. Truck accidents involve unique complexities — federal trucking regulations, multiple liable parties (driver, trucking company, cargo loader), larger insurance policies, and more severe injuries. Our attorneys understand these complexities and know how to investigate trucking companies, obtain black box data, and hold all responsible parties accountable. Truck accident claims often involve higher damages because of the severity of the injuries.

Absolutely. Rideshare accidents involve layered insurance policies — the driver's personal policy, the rideshare company's policy, and potentially other drivers' policies. Determining which policy applies depends on whether the driver was logged into the app, en route to a pickup, or carrying a passenger at the time of the accident. We untangle these complexities and pursue compensation from all available sources.

Yes. Motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries because riders have less protection than car occupants. Unfortunately, there is also a bias against motorcyclists. We fight that bias by building strong, evidence-based cases that demonstrate the other driver's negligence. We handle all types of motorcycle accident claims, from lane-change collisions to left-turn accidents.

Yes. Property owners and businesses have a legal duty to maintain safe premises. If you were injured due to a wet floor, uneven surface, poor lighting, broken stairs, or another hazardous condition, the property owner may be liable. We investigate the scene, obtain surveillance footage, and prove that the owner knew or should have known about the dangerous condition. Slip and fall cases require swift action because evidence can disappear quickly.

Yes. When negligence takes a loved one, our attorneys provide compassionate, determined representation for surviving family members. Wrongful death claims in Florida can be filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate on behalf of surviving spouses, children, and parents. We fight for compensation covering funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and more. We understand the emotional weight of these cases and treat every family with the respect they deserve.

Yes. Catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and spinal cord damage require lifelong care and generate enormous medical costs. We work with medical experts, life-care planners, and economists to calculate the full lifetime cost of your injury — not just your current bills. These cases often involve significant compensation, and we fight to secure every dollar you will need for your future care and quality of life.

Yes. If you were hurt on the job, you may be entitled to workers' compensation benefits for medical treatment and lost wages. In many cases, there may also be a third-party claim (for example, if defective equipment or a negligent contractor caused your injury) that can provide additional compensation beyond what workers' comp covers. We evaluate both avenues to maximize your recovery.
