It is this personal attention to your file that sets us apart from other firms. You will never be treated like a number.
How We Charge:
We handle all of our cases on a contingency basis (a percentage of the recovery). This means that you pay no fees or costs unless we win your case. We also do not charge anything on the money you receive for the damage or loss of your vehicle. Therefore, there is normally no risk in hiring a personal injury lawyer to set up a claim for damages.

Types of Accidents Our Personal Injury Lawyers Handle:
Car Accidents:
Car accidents in Florida are the most common type of personal injury case. When a car accident occurs, there are certain insurance laws that require prompt medical treatment. Our car accident lawyers are familiar with the medical providers in the area, the insurance laws and the investigating authorities. After a car accident, it is always a good idea to speak to a car accident lawyer to see if you have a viable injury claim.
Commercial Vehicle and Truck Accidents:
If you have been involved in an accident with a commercial vehicle or a truck, there are certain specific types of investigation that need to occur. Service and maintenance records, as well as the driving hours of the at-fault driver, can be obtained by your truck accident lawyer. Injuries in these types of cases are usually severe, but there are normally big insurance policies for your lawyer to pursue.
Motorcycle Accidents, Scooter Accidents, and Moped Accidents:
Motorcycle accidents and scooter/moped accidents are common occurrences in Florida. Our lawyers will be able to explain how to get bills covered and medical providers that will treat injuries from these types of cases. If you are involved in a motorcycle accident, you likely have sustained serious injuries that require an experienced motorcycle lawyer.
Drunk Driving Accidents:
Florida Law allows drunk driving accident victims and their families to pursue unlimited punitive damages against the drunk driver. In some situations, the victim and their families may be able to file a claim against the person or establishments who served the alcohol to the drunk driver. If you or someone close to you has been injured by a drunk driver, we are here to protect your rights.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Accidents:
The St. Petersburg-Clearwater-Pinellas County has been regarded as one of the most dangerous in the nation for pedestrians and bicyclists. Even though efforts have been made to improve road safety, the amount of accidents continues to rise due to congestion, visitors and elderly drivers. If you or a loved one was injured on the road, contact our office immediately to discuss your options.
Boating Accidents:
Improperly trained boat operator, failure to use boating safety equipment, overloaded boats, speeding and reckless driving, boating while intoxicated, defective boats or boat components are all potential hazards we face enjoying the water of Tampa Bay. If you or a loved one have been involved in a boating accident, you should contact a personal injury lawyer for guidance on the next steps to take.
Dog Bites or Animal Caused Injury:
We can help you pursue compensation for your medical bills, wage loss, pain and suffering and other hardships you have suffered due to a dog bite attack or animal injury. You do not have to be bitten by an animal to have a case. Many of the cases we see are due to unleashed animals causing people to fall and get injured.
Brain Injuries:
Some brain injuries are readily apparent and require immediate medical attention. Other brain injuries that are more difficult to detect can still lead to a lifetime of problems. If you suffer from intense headaches, memory loss, irritability and difficulty concentrating from concussions or other injuries, contact us today. We know specialists that can diagnose and treat these conditions.
Burn Injuries:
We consider the full range of consequences the injury will have on our clients. Burns can result from a host of sources, including air bags. Burns are painful and can leave scars.
Head, Neck, Back & Spinal Cord Injuries, including Paraplegia & Quadriplegia:
The traumatic impact that results in these injuries takes a heavy physical and emotional toll on the injured person and on the family. Spinal cord injuries normally are only detected through an MRI and range from bulges to herniations or worse. For serious spinal cord injuries, ongoing medical expenses can be astronomical and a lifetime of future medical care is needed.
Wrongful Death:
Whether your family member was involved in a fatal car accident, a motorcycle wreck, or died as a result of medical malpractice, we will thoroughly investigate your case. We will bring in experts, when necessary, to determine what really happened and get justice. While no amount of money can ever truly compensate you for the loss of someone you love, financial compensation is the only remedy the law allows. Contact us today and speak with an attorney who specializes in wrongful death lawsuits.
