Frequently Asked Questions

For accidents occurring on or after March 24, 2023, Florida generally gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a). Accidents before that date may still fall under the prior four-year deadline. Jordan Wagner can review your case to confirm your specific deadline.

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

Since 2023, Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule: you can recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault, with your compensation reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover anything. This doesn’t apply to medical malpractice cases, which still follow the prior pure comparative negligence standard.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident in Florida?

Jordan spent years as both a prosecutor and an insurance defense lawyer before switching to plaintiff’s work. He uses that inside knowledge of how insurers evaluate and defend claims to negotiate stronger outcomes for his clients.

Why does Jordan Wagner's insurance defense background matter for injury victims?

Board certification in civil trial law is awarded by the Florida Bar to attorneys who demonstrate significant trial experience and pass a rigorous exam. It’s held by only about 1% of Florida attorneys and signals recognized expertise in litigating personal injury and other civil cases.

What does it mean that Jordan Wagner is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law?

No. The firm works on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning clients pay nothing unless the firm recovers compensation through a settlement or verdict.
