FAQs: Car Accident Lawyers in St. Augustine

Q1: Do I need a lawyer after a minor car accident?
Yes. Even in “minor” accidents, injuries may surface later, and insurance companies often underpay claims. A lawyer ensures your rights are protected.

Q2: How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida?
Florida law generally gives you 2 years from the accident date. Certain exceptions apply, so it’s best to contact an attorney quickly.

Q3: What does it cost to hire a car accident attorney?
At St. Johns Law Group, we work on a contingency fee basis – you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

Q4: Will my case go to trial?
Most car accident claims settle outside of court, but our attorneys, including Josh Saxon, are fully prepared to litigate when necessary.

Q5: What should I bring to my free consultation?
Bring medical records, accident reports, insurance details, photos, and any communication with insurers.
