Who We've Won Against
Common Questions
Top Question
How much is my case worth?
Every case is different. The value depends on your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages. We can provide an estimate after reviewing your case.
Top Question
How long will my case take?
The timeline depends on the complexity of your case. Some claims resolve in months, while others may take longer if litigation is necessary.
Top Question
What if the insurance company has already contacted me?
You should avoid giving recorded statements or accepting offers before speaking with an attorney. We can handle communications on your behalf.
Top Question
Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?
Not before consulting an attorney. Initial offers are often lower than what your claim may be worth.

What type of cases does Graves Law Handle?
Graves Law represents clients throughout Central Florida in both personal injury and business law matters.
Personal Injury: We handle cases involving car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, Uber and Lyft rideshare accidents, slip and fall injuries, premises liability, dog bites, wrongful death, workers’ compensation claims, occupational illnesses, and medical malpractice, including misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and other serious medical negligence.
Business Law: We assist businesses with contract drafting and disputes, business formation, partnership and shareholder disputes, commercial litigation, breach of contract claims, employment-related matters, business transactions, regulatory compliance, and general legal counsel to help protect and grow your business.
Do I have to pay anything upfront to hire Graves Law?
Not for Personal Injury claims. The cost to hire Graves Law depends on the type of legal matter you have.
Personal Injury: We handle personal injury and workers’ compensation cases on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront attorney’s fees. We only get paid if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. Your initial consultation is free, and we’ll explain the process and fee arrangement before you decide to move forward.
Business Law: Business law matters are typically handled on an hourly, flat-fee, or retainer basis, depending on the services you need. Whether you’re forming a business, reviewing contracts, resolving a dispute, or seeking ongoing legal counsel, we’ll discuss the scope of your matter, provide a clear explanation of our billing structure, and ensure you understand all costs before any work begins.
How do I know if I need a lawyer?
The right time to contact an attorney depends on the type of legal issue you’re facing.
Personal Injury: If you’ve been injured in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident, a slip and fall, a workplace accident, or as a result of medical negligence, it’s a good idea to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, and having legal representation early can help protect your rights, preserve important evidence, and maximize the compensation you may be entitled to recover.
Business Law: If you’re starting a business, entering into a contract, facing a partnership dispute, dealing with a breach of contract, or involved in a business dispute, consulting an attorney early can help prevent costly mistakes and protect your interests. Legal guidance before problems escalate can often save significant time, money, and stress while positioning your business for long-term success.
What should I bring to my consultation?
The documents you should bring depend on the type of legal matter you’re discussing.
Personal Injury: Bring any accident or incident reports, medical records and bills, photos or videos of the accident or your injuries, witness contact information, insurance policies or claim information, correspondence from insurance companies, and any other documents related to your case. The more information you can provide, the better we can evaluate your claim and discuss your legal options.
Business Law: Bring any documents relevant to your legal matter, such as contracts or agreements, business formation documents, partnership or shareholder agreements, correspondence related to a dispute, financial records, or other materials that help explain your situation. Having these documents available allows us to better understand your needs and provide informed legal guidance during your consultation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
The deadline for taking legal action depends on the type of case and the specific circumstances involved.
Personal Injury: Florida law sets time limits, known as statutes of limitations, for filing personal injury claims. In many cases, you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit, although exceptions may apply. Workers’ compensation claims generally must be reported to your employer within 30 days of the accident, and medical malpractice claims are subject to additional notice requirements and filing deadlines. Because these deadlines can vary, it’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
Business Law: Business-related legal claims, such as breach of contract, partnership disputes, or commercial litigation, are also subject to statutes of limitations. The applicable deadline depends on the type of claim, the terms of any written agreements, and the facts of the case. Consulting an attorney early can help preserve your legal rights, avoid missed deadlines, and determine the best course of action.
