Injured in Fort Myers? Get straight answers from a lawyer today.

If you were injured, a free call is worth making before the other driver's insurance company records your statement or asks you to sign a release. An adjuster's job is to keep the payout low, and Florida's PIP rules, its permanent-injury threshold, and its filing deadlines all shape what you can collect. Our Fort Myers car accident page walks through the first steps.

First in line is the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) on your own policy, whoever was at fault. Up to a $10,000 limit, PIP pays 80% of reasonable medical charges and 60% of the wages you lose, provided a doctor sees you no more than 14 days after the crash (Fla. Stat. § 627.736). Once PIP is used up, your health insurance, providers willing to be paid when the case resolves, and finally the at-fault driver's liability coverage or your own uninsured motorist coverage pick up the rest. Note that PIP does not apply to motorcycle crashes.

You may have one if the business was aware of the danger, or ought to have been, yet neither cleaned it up nor put out a warning. For a fall on a spilled liquid or other substance, Florida requires proof of that knowledge, for instance evidence that it sat there long enough for employees to spot it (Fla. Stat. § 768.0755). Many stores record over their security footage in about 30 days, so ask in writing right away for it to be kept. More on slip and fall claims in Lee County.

Nothing up front, and no bills from us along the way. Our fee is contingent: a percentage of the money recovered, stated in a written agreement before you sign, while the firm advances the costs of the case. Without a recovery, there is no fee.

Yes. The firm works in English and Spanish, and Spanish-speaking attorneys and staff can handle your case from the first call to the end, meetings, documents, and updates included.

If your accident happened on March 24, 2023 or later, most negligence lawsuits must be filed within two years of that date (Fla. Stat. § 95.11). Other clocks run faster: PIP's 14-day window to get treatment, and the written notice Florida requires before you sue a government body such as Lee County, the City of Fort Myers, or LeeTran (Fla. Stat. § 768.28(6)).
