Do I have to have a lawyer to go to court?

In the majority of cases you’re not required to have an attorney to bring an action or to defend an action. There are some cases where you are required. However, it would be extremely difficult for a person who is not familiar with the general rules of civil procedure as well as Florida law and just have experience in the area on a day-to-day basis to effectively navigate their case. We would strongly recommend hiring an attorney to pursue certainly a personal injury case on your behalf.
