What Happens During a Free Consultation with a Clermont Injury Lawyer?
If you've been injured in a car accident, slip and fall, or other incident in the Clermont or greater Lake County area, one of your first steps might be reaching out to a personal injury lawyer. But many people hesitate to take that first step simply because they’re not sure what to expect.
The good news? Most personal injury attorneys—including our firm—offer free consultations. This meeting is your opportunity to learn more about your rights, your potential case, and whether you’re comfortable working with the attorney.
Here’s a breakdown of what happens during a free consultation with a Clermont injury lawyer and how to make the most of it.
1. You Tell Your Story
The consultation starts with you. The attorney will ask questions about:
What happened
When and where the incident occurred
What injuries you’ve sustained
Whether you’ve received medical treatment
If you've spoken to any insurance companies
This is a chance to share your side of the story in your own words. Be honest and provide as much detail as possible. Don’t worry if you don’t have every document yet—just be prepared to describe the situation clearly.
2. We Assess Your Case
After hearing your story, the attorney will assess:
Whether someone else may be legally responsible for your injuries
If you have a case worth pursuing
What your legal options are
At this stage, we’ll let you know if we believe you have a viable personal injury claim under Florida law, including how the state’s comparative negligence rules might impact your potential recovery.
3. We Explain the Legal Process
We’ll walk you through what happens next, including:
Gathering evidence (photos, reports, witness statements)
Working with medical providers
Negotiating with insurance companies
Filing a lawsuit, if necessary
If you’ve never worked with a lawyer before, this part can be reassuring. Our goal is to take the legal burden off your shoulders so you can focus on healing.
4. We Answer Your Questions
Every client has questions—especially if you’ve never been in a legal situation before. Some common ones include:
How long will my case take?
Will I have to go to court?
How much will this cost me?
What kind of compensation can I expect?
We’re here to give honest, straightforward answers. No pressure. No legal jargon.
5. We Discuss Fees—If You Choose to Move Forward
Most personal injury lawyers, including us, work on a contingency fee basis. That means:
You don’t pay anything upfront
We only get paid if we win your case
We'll explain how our fee structure works and what costs might come up (e.g., court filing fees, expert reports), so you're never left guessing.
