Fees and General Policy

For injury matters, the firm states that it works on a contingency fee basis: clients generally do not pay attorney's fees unless Miller Trial Law recovers compensation. For business litigation and certain insurance matters, the firm may use hourly, flat, or hybrid fee structures depending on the case.

Exact fee percentages, case costs, and specific arrangements are not detailed on the site and are typically discussed directly with the firm.

Miller Trial Law offers free initial consultations for people dealing with serious injuries, wrongful death, or insurance‑related disputes. During this consultation, the firm can:

• Review basic facts about what happened
• Discuss the type of case (for example, car crash, medical malpractice, product defect, nursing home abuse, or insurance dispute)
• Explain general legal rights and options
• Outline the next steps in the legal process
• Discuss how fees and case costs are handled

Contingency Fee for Injury Matters

For most personal injury and wrongful death matters described on the website, Miller Trial Law states that it works on a contingency fee basis. In general, this means:

• Clients do not pay attorney's fees up front.
• The firm only charges attorney's fees if it recovers money for the client through a settlement or verdict.

The website does not list precise percentages or cost arrangements. Specific fee terms, cost responsibilities, and written agreements are discussed directly with the firm.

For certain business litigation and some insurance matters, the firm may use hourly, flat, or hybrid fee structures instead of a pure contingency; those details are set on a case‑by‑case basis.

Client Communication and SMS Policy

Case Updates and Messages

The firm emphasizes keeping clients informed about their cases. Communication methods can include phone, email, and, when a client opts in, text (SMS) messages.

On the website's contact and consultation forms, clients can consent to receive SMS messages related to:

• Their inquiry or potential case
• Case updates and status information
• Appointment reminders and scheduling
• Other case‑related communications

Key points stated on the site regarding SMS:

• Message and data rates may apply, depending on the client's phone plan.
• Message frequency may vary.
• Clients can reply STOP at any time to opt out of SMS messages.
• Clients can reply HELP for help with SMS communications.
• Consent to SMS messages is not a condition of receiving legal services.

Deadlines and Statutes of Limitations (High‑Level Overview)

The firm's website explains that Florida law imposes strict deadlines (statutes of limitations) for filing civil cases, and these rules can differ by claim type and date of incident:

• For many negligence‑based personal injury claims arising on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law generally uses a two‑year filing deadline.
• Certain matters (such as some medical malpractice or wrongful death claims) may have different or additional timing rules.
• Older incidents and special categories of claims can be subject to different statutes or notice requirements.

Because these rules are technical and can change, the exact deadline for any particular situation is not calculated on the website. The firm instead urges potential clients to contact an attorney as soon as possible so deadlines can be evaluated and tracked for that specific case.

If you have questions about how a filing deadline might apply to your circumstances, Miller Trial Law recommends speaking directly with the firm.

Miller Trial Law handles defective product and product liability cases for people injured anywhere in Florida. When a product is sold or used in Florida, companies in the chain of distribution generally have legal duties to make sure the product is reasonably safe for its intended use and carries appropriate instructions and warnings.

According to the firm's website, potential defendants in a product liability case can include:

• Designers
• Manufacturers
• Wholesalers and distributors
• Retailers and others in the stream of commerce

The firm brings cases where products are defective, unreasonably dangerous, or lack adequate warnings or instructions, and where those problems cause injury.

Steps the Firm Suggests After a Product‑Related Injury

From Miller Trial Law's defective products page, people who are injured while using a product in Florida are encouraged to consider the following steps to protect their rights:

• Preserve the product itself, along with any packaging, instructions, or warnings that came with it.
• Keep proof of purchase (such as a receipt) when available.
• Photograph the scene, the product failure, and any visible injuries as soon as it is safe to do so.
• Obtain prompt medical treatment and report all injuries.
• Report the problem to appropriate agencies, such as the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), when applicable.
• Contact Miller Trial Law promptly so the firm can help preserve evidence, advise on medical documentation, and evaluate potential claims and benefits.

Examples of Defective Products Mentioned on the Site

The firm's website lists several categories of products that may give rise to claims or recalls, including:

• Vehicles – Vehicles subject to safety recalls where defects may cause crashes or worsen injuries.
• Drugs and medications – Examples mentioned include heartburn medication recalls (such as Zantac) and hand sanitizers recalled for contamination (for example, possible wood alcohol / methanol content), as well as other over‑the‑counter or prescription drugs linked to serious side effects.
• Children's and baby products – Sleepers, rocking seats, toys, and car seats that are recalled or alleged to be unsafe.

These are examples only. The firm notes that products are sometimes not recalled until after consumers have already been injured.

How Miller Trial Law Handles Product Cases

In defective product matters, the firm may:

• Investigate how the product was designed, manufactured, labeled, marketed, and sold
• Review recall histories, safety bulletins, and regulatory filings when relevant
• Work with technical, engineering, or medical experts
• Evaluate liability for all entities in the product's chain of distribution
• Pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other legally recognized damages

• Rear‑end collisions

Florida Car Accident Law – Key Concepts (High‑Level)

From the firm's published materials:

• No‑Fault / PIP Coverage: Florida uses a no‑fault system for many car accident injuries. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage under a driver's own policy can pay some medical expenses and lost wages after a crash, regardless of who caused it, up to the policy's limits.

• Comparative Negligence: Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. An injured person's compensation can be reduced if they are found partially at fault for the crash, and recovery can be barred if their share of fault is above a certain percentage. Evaluating and contesting fault allocations is an important part of many cases.

• Deadlines: The website notes that most recent negligence‑based personal injury claims in Florida have a two‑year statute of limitations, with special rules and exceptions (for example, for some medical malpractice or wrongful death claims). Deadlines can vary based on the facts and date of the crash, so the exact time limit for any particular case is not calculated on the site.

Miller Trial Law encourages anyone injured in a crash to contact an attorney promptly so deadlines and coverage issues can be reviewed for the specific situation.

How Miller Trial Law Assists After a Crash

According to the firm's car accident materials, the legal team may:

• Evaluate the facts of the collision and potential claims
• Help clients understand how PIP and other coverages may apply
• Collect and preserve evidence such as scene photos or video, vehicle data, and witness information
• Coordinate with treating providers and, when needed, independent medical experts
• Calculate and document damages (medical expenses, lost income, and other losses recognized under Florida law)
• Negotiate with insurance companies from a trial‑ready posture
• File suit and present the case in court if a fair settlement is not offered

Costs and Fees for Car Accident Cases

In line with the firm's general policies, the website states that Miller Trial Law handles injury matters, including car accidents, on a contingency fee basis:

• Clients do not pay attorney's fees up front.
• Attorney's fees are owed only if the firm recovers compensation in a settlement or verdict.

Exact percentages, case costs, and any alternative fee arrangements are not detailed online and are instead discussed directly with the firm.

What to Do After a Car Accident (General Guidance from the Site)

The firm's FAQ materials suggest that, after a car accident, people should generally:

• Call the police to report the crash when appropriate
• If safe, photograph the scene, vehicles, and any visible injuries
• Seek emergency or urgent medical care as needed
• Avoid making detailed fault admissions at the scene
• Contact a personal injury attorney who can help handle the insurance process and coordinate medical care
