Representing Victims of Negligence & Wrongful Acts.
Life comes with risks, from the cars we drive to the products we use, from the businesses we visit, and even the workspaces we inhabit. While not all accidents are preventable, some may be caused by negligence or careless and wrongful actions by a person or company.
If you are injured because of someone’s negligence, you could be entitled to seek compensation for your losses. Our personal injury lawyers can help you understand your rights and explore your options. We can help you recover the compensation you need and deserve.
Injuries can be both physically and emotionally devastating. If you have been injured, you may have a difficult time coping with the financial and emotional burden of medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship.

Whether you've been injured in a car crash or through an act of medical malpractice, you may be wondering if it's worth it to bring your case to a personal injury attorney near you. In fact, the insurance company may have already reached out to you and offered a settlement for your claim. Should you still contact an attorney about your case?
Yes!
With over $1 billion won on behalf of injury victims, our team has the combined resources and experience to help you with a wide variety of personal injury claims.
Because people have a legal duty of care towards each other in certain situations – such as driving on a public road or helping a patient identify serious symptoms – those who violate that duty can sometimes be found negligent.
However, to recover any compensation, you must show that someone was negligent and that you suffered damages because of their negligence.
There is also a statute of limitations that sets a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit. Generally, the deadline is four years from the date of the injury in Florida if the negligence claim occurred prior to March 24, 2023. Cases that arise on or after this date have a two-year time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit.
Damages in a personal injury case can include compensation for things like:
Florida follows a comparative negligence system, which means if the injured person is found to be partially responsible for the accident, their compensation will be reduced proportionately to their degree of fault.
Florida is a "no-fault" state regarding automobile accidents, meaning each party's insurance company typically covers their own policyholder's medical expenses and other damages, regardless of who caused the car accident. However, in cases of severe injuries or permanent impairment, the injured party may pursue a claim against the at-fault party.
