Everything you need to know about getting connected with the right personal injury attorney in Florida.
Florida MVA is Florida's premier attorney referral service specializing in personal injury cases. We connect accident victims with pre-vetted, experienced attorneys who have proven track records of winning substantial settlements and verdicts. Since 2020, we've helped over 50,000 Floridians get the legal representation they deserve.
Our service is 100% FREE to accident victims.You pay absolutely nothing - no upfront fees, no hidden costs, no obligations.
We are compensated by the attorneys in our network when they successfully represent you. This doesn't affect your settlement - the attorneys work on the same contingency fee basis (typically 33%) whether you find them through us or on your own.
We connect attorneys for all types of personal injury cases in Florida:
- • Car accidents
- • Truck/semi accidents
- • Motorcycle accidents
- • Boating accidents
- • Slip and fall injuries
- • Medical malpractice
- • Wrongful death
- • Dog bites
- • Product liability
- • Nursing home abuse
- • Brain injuries
- • Spinal cord injuries
Yes! We understand accidents don't follow business hours. Our emergency hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. For urgent cases (accidents within 24 hours), we prioritize immediate attorney connection, often within minutes.
We understand your skepticism - there are unfortunately scams in this industry. Here's how you can verify we're legitimate:
- • Licensed & Registered: We're registered with the Florida Department of Consumer Services
- • Transparent Process: We clearly explain how we operate and get paid
- • Verified Reviews: Check our Google reviews and Better Business Bureau rating
- • No Upfront Fees: Legitimate services never ask for money upfront
- • Direct Attorney Contact: We connect you directly with licensed Florida attorneys
Red flags to avoid: Services asking for money, promising specific settlement amounts, or being vague about their process.
Our reputation depends on attorney quality, not quantity. We maintain strict standards:
- • Minimum 5 years personal injury experience
- • Proven track record: Minimum $10M in settlements/verdicts
- • Clean disciplinary record with the Florida Bar
- • Adequate malpractice insurance and financial resources
- • Client satisfaction scores above 4.5/5
- • Regular case result audits to ensure continued quality
We regularly remove attorneys who don't meet our standards. It's better to have fewer, exceptional attorneys than many mediocre ones.
We guarantee attorney contact within 24 hours, but most clients hear from an attorney within 15 minutes during business hours. Emergency cases (accidents within 24 hours) receive immediate priority and often get connected within minutes.
Our proprietary matching system considers multiple factors:
- • Case Type: Attorneys specialize in specific injury types
- • Location: We match you with attorneys familiar with your local courts
- • Case Value: High-value cases go to attorneys with proven big-win experience
- • Availability: We ensure your attorney can give your case proper attention
- • Language: Spanish-speaking attorneys available when needed
- • Special Needs: Special circumstances get specialized attorneys
Absolutely not. Your information goes to exactly one attorney - the one we determine is the best match for your case. We never sell, rent, or share your information with multiple parties. This is one of the key differences between us and "lead farm" services that blast your information to dozens of attorneys.
Almost never. Insurance companies deliberately lowball first offers because:
- • They know most people don't understand their claim's true value
- • They undervalue future medical costs and lost wages
- • They ignore pain and suffering compensation
- • They use time pressure tactics to force quick settlements
Studies show attorney representation increases settlements by an average of 3.5x, even after attorney fees.
No, absolutely not. Attorney fees are standardized and the same whether you find them through us or on your own. Standard contingency rates are typically 33% for settlements and 40% if the case goes to trial. There's no markup or additional fee for being referred through our service.
Florida has strict time limits called "statutes of limitations":
- • Personal Injury: 4 years from the date of accident
- • Medical Malpractice: 2 years from discovery of injury
- • Wrongful Death: 2 years from date of death
- • Property Damage: 4 years from the accident
Important: Some cases have shorter deadlines, and evidence disappears quickly. Contact an attorney immediately.
"No win, no fee" means you pay zero attorney fees unless you receive a settlement or court award. Here's the breakdown:
- • If you win: Attorney takes their percentage (typically 33%) from your settlement
- • If you lose: You owe the attorney nothing
- • Case expenses: May still be owed (court fees, expert witnesses, etc.)
Most top attorneys will advance case expenses and only collect them if you win, but this should be clarified upfront.
You only pay attorney fees if and when your case successfully settles or wins in court. Payment comes from your settlement or award, not out of your pocket. Typically, the attorney's fee is deducted before you receive your settlement check. Most cases take several months to a year or more to resolve.
Case expenses (filing fees, expert witnesses, medical records, etc.) are typically advanced by your attorney and reimbursed from your settlement. These are separate from attorney fees. Most reputable attorneys will cover these costs during your case and only seek reimbursement if you win. Always clarify expense policies with your attorney upfront.
