Personal injury claims arise from many situations: car, truck, and motorcycle collisions, boating accidents, slip and falls, and unsafe premises. In each case, the injured person or a family member brings a claim against the party responsible. A successful claim can recover compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Florida law is constantly changing, and the details matter. Delaying medical treatment can affect your rights, and a claim filed after the statute of limitations expires will be barred. Working with an experienced trial lawyer from the start protects your claim and gives the insurer a reason to take it seriously.

But insurance carriers know which firms settle cheap and which ones try cases, and every claim we handle is prepared as if a jury will decide it.

Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Florida's statute of limitations for most negligence claims is generally two years from the date of injury, and some claims carry shorter notice requirements. Because deadlines vary by case type, contact an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
What does a consultation cost?
Nothing. Consultations are free, and personal injury cases are typically handled on a contingency-fee basis, meaning attorney's fees come out of the recovery rather than your pocket up front.
Should I talk to the other driver's insurance company?
Not before speaking with a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to obtain statements that reduce the value of your claim. Let your attorney handle those conversations.
