Get the Compensation You Deserve for Your Personal Injury Claim

Florida law provides for compensation to persons injured because of the negligence of others. We understand that you and your family depend on your physical recovery and compensation for your injuries and suffering. There is no reason to delay treatment or to not pursue compensation if you have suffered an injury due to the negligence of another. Depending on your injury, you may be qualified to receive compensation for past and future medical expenses, past and future pain and suffering, past wage loss, and loss of future earning capacity. You have a limited amount of time to bring personal injury claims under Florida law. The longer you wait, the less options that may be available to you to potentially maximize your recovery from the negligent parties.

You Only Pay When You Collect

Our work is conducted on a contingent fee basis. That means that you pay nothing unless we make a recovery on your behalf.

Personalized Client Experience

Our injury law firm provides personalized counsel for clients suffering from personal injuries and provides responsive communication and updates regarding their claims. Larger firms are unable to provide personalized attention, which leads to a poor client experience and less than favorable outcomes. Our lawyers have expertise in personal injury and car accident claims from years of experience litigating such cases and will provide personalized counsel to clients during the process and fight for the best possible result.

Compensation Available in Panhandle Car Accident Case

If you have been injured in a car accident, the liable party may owe you compensation for your economic and non-economic damages.

These damages may include your:

  • Ambulance ride and emergency medical treatment
  • Medical bills, including costs of treatment, therapy, and medications
  • Medical equipment
  • Estimated costs of future medical care
  • Lost wages
  • Reduced earning capacity
  • Property damage, and,
  • Pain and suffering

Punitive damages are awarded in rare cases to punish excessive misconduct and deter similar future behavior. Unlike compensatory damages that cover loss and injury, punitive damages are applied when the at-fault party’s actions are particularly reckless or malicious.

The Clock is Ticking to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Florida

In Florida, the statute of limitations sets strict deadlines for filing negligence claims involving car accident and wrongful death claims. Both types of lawsuits must be filed within two years from the date of the accident, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11.

These time limits are essential as they directly impact the ability to access the courts to seek justice and compensation. Time is of the essence, and delays can lead to the loss of the right to legal recourse. Immediate action also allows your lawyers to gather evidence while it is still available. We encourage victims and their families to consult us as soon as possible to protect their rights and secure the compensation they deserve.

What Factors Can Affect How Much My Settlement Is Worth?

Every victim of an accident will have a unique experience. Ultimately, the specific facts of your case will drive valuation.

The value of your case often depends on the answers to the following questions:

  • What specific injuries did you sustain?
  • Is liability clear or contested?
  • Do you share responsibility for the accident?
  • What types of insurance benefits are available?
  • How has your life changed since you got hurt?
  • Did the accident aggravate any pre-existing medical conditions?
  • How has your earning capacity changed?
