Frequently Asked Questions About Our Practice Areas

Does Roman Austin handle Uber and Lyft accident claims?

Yes. Roman Austin represents passengers, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists hurt in rideshare crashes. These claims can involve the rideshare driver's personal policy, the company's commercial coverage, and your own PIP benefits. Which policy applies depends on whether the driver was logged into the app at the time.

What counts as a catastrophic injury?

A catastrophic injury is one that permanently changes your health, independence, or ability to work. Examples include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and paralysis, amputations, and severe burns. These claims usually need expert testimony to calculate lifelong medical care and lost earning capacity.

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Florida?

Under Florida law, the personal representative of the deceased person's estate files the wrongful death claim. The claim is brought on behalf of the estate and surviving family members, such as a spouse, children, or parents.

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

Most negligence-based personal injury claims in Florida must be filed within two years of the injury. Wrongful death claims also carry a two-year deadline, and some cases, such as medical malpractice or claims against government entities, have different rules. Talking to an attorney early helps protect your claim.

Can I still recover compensation if I was partly at fault?

Usually, yes. Florida uses modified comparative negligence. If you are 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of the blame. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages.

Does it cost anything to talk to a lawyer about my case?

No. Roman Austin offers free consultations. Cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
