I cannot say enough good things about Mike Butash and his team. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. They have truly been a lifeline for me during one of the most difficult and emotional periods of my life. Navigating a high-conflict divorce is overwhelming, but they were the steady voice of reason through it all. When things became complicated or stressful, they brought clarity, logic, and a clear path forward. Mike, Mimi, and the entire staff have supported me every step of the way. They fought for me, kept me informed, and always made sure I understood both the process and possible outcomes-good or bad. That level of honesty and transparency meant everything. Even during moments when I felt frustrated or emotional, they remained patient, professional, and genuinely supportive. Even though my journey isn’t completely over, I feel confident knowing I’m in the best hands. I recommend them to anyone who needs not just an attorney, but a team that truly stands by you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Florida law sets deadlines, known as statutes of limitations, for filing personal injury lawsuits, and missing these deadlines can permanently bar your right to compensation. The specific timeframe depends on the type of case and circumstances involved. It is important to consult with a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to protect your legal rights.

A personal injury attorney investigates the accident, documents your damages, handles all communication with the insurance company, and negotiates a settlement on your behalf. If the insurance carrier won't offer fair compensation, your attorney can file suit and take the case to trial.

No - personal injury cases at Butash Law Group are handled on contingency. There is no upfront fee and no cost to you unless we recover compensation. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.

Many injuries that appear minor initially - whiplash, soft tissue damage, concussions - develop into longer-term conditions that are expensive to treat. A free consultation lets us evaluate what happened and tell you honestly whether your situation warrants a claim. There is no cost and no obligation.

Butash Law Group handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there are no upfront attorney fees. You pay nothing out of pocket unless the firm recovers compensation for you. This arrangement ensures that quality legal representation is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial situation.

The firm handles a broad range of personal injury matters, including automobile accidents, motorcycle accidents, semi-truck crashes, bicycle accidents, bus accidents, drunk driving accidents, slip and fall injuries, boating and cruise ship accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, dog bites, brain injuries, spinal cord and paralysis injuries, negligent security, premises liability, and catastrophic injury cases. If you are unsure whether your situation qualifies, a free consultation can provide clarity.

In most cases, yes. Florida personal injury law involves complex rules around negligence, comparative fault, and strict filing deadlines known as statutes of limitations. An experienced attorney can help you avoid common mistakes, counter insurance company tactics, and maximize the value of your recovery. Butash Law Group offers free consultations so you can get informed guidance before making any decisions.

The value of a personal injury claim depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the cost of medical treatment (past and future), lost wages, pain and suffering, and the degree of the other party's liability. The at-fault party's ability to compensate, through insurance or other means, also plays a role. Every case is unique, which is why Butash Law Group evaluates each client's specific circumstances during a free consultation.

Seek medical attention right away, even if injuries seem minor, as some conditions worsen over time and documentation is critical to your claim. Report the accident to the appropriate authorities and preserve any evidence, such as photos, witness contact information, and accident reports. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters before speaking with an attorney, and contact Butash Law Group for a free consultation as soon as possible.

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, you may still be entitled to recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the accident. An experienced personal injury attorney can assess the facts of your case and help you understand how comparative fault may affect your potential recovery.
