Frequently Asked Questions
How much is my case worth?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical bills, lost wages, and the long-term impact on your life. The best way to understand what your claim may be worth is a free case review — we'll evaluate the details and give you an honest assessment.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
Florida law limits the time you have to file a personal injury claim, and that window is shorter than many people expect. Waiting can put your right to compensation at risk. Contact us as soon as possible so we can protect your claim and preserve important evidence.
What if I was partially at fault?
You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault. Florida uses a comparative negligence system, which can reduce — but not necessarily eliminate — your recovery. Let us review the facts of your case to see what you may be owed.
Do I have to go to court?
Most car accident cases settle without ever going to trial. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to court — and insurance companies know we're ready to litigate. That readiness often leads to stronger settlement offers.
What does it cost to hire Hughes & Barnard?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you pay no fees unless we win your case. Your initial case review is always free and comes with no obligation.
How long does a car accident case take?
It depends on the complexity of your case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the insurance company cooperates. Some cases resolve in a few months; others take longer. We keep you informed at every stage and work to resolve your case as efficiently as possible without settling for less than you deserve.
