Wait too long, and the insurance company wins.

Insurers have adjusters and lawyers whose job is to pay you as little as possible. Here’s what that usually looks like.

  • The lowball offer

    A fast check that won't cover your surgery, your therapy or your time off work.

  • The denial letter

    Your roof or hurricane claim refused, even though your policy says it’s covered.

  • The bills that won’t wait

    Medical bills and missed paychecks keep stacking up while you heal.

What waiting can cost you

  • The 14-day window

    In Florida, see a doctor within 14 days of a crash or your no-fault (PIP) insurance may not cover your treatment.

  • The two-year deadline

    Most Florida negligence claims must be filed within two years. After that, the claim can be gone for good.

  • The recorded statement

    The adjuster’s friendly call is recorded. A careless word can be used to cut what you’re paid.

  • Paying out of pocket

    Surgery, therapy or a new roof on your own dime while the insurer drags its feet.

The insurance company has a team. Now you do too.

Our promise

You’ll always know who’s handling your case and what happens next.

You don’t have to fight them alone

After a crash or a denied insurance claim, most Floridians end up fighting the insurance company alone. Sunshine State Law Firm takes on that fight and keeps you informed every step of the way, so you can heal and get back to your life. No fee unless we recover for you.

  • Care comes first

    We help you see the right doctors, including second opinions.

  • Always in the loop

    Text, email or phone. You’ll always know who’s on your case.

  • A fight for every dollar

    Witnesses, evidence, home inspections, and trial when needed.

  • Hablamos español

    A bilingual team from the first call to the final check.

We know how overwhelming this is. You’re not a file to us.

Before law school, Simon Nicholson spent about 15 years in Guatemala and Mexico doing gang outreach and hosting medical teams. Serving people in hard moments is the whole reason he became a lawyer.

Today our bilingual team brings that same care to every client in Florida. We listen first, explain everything plainly, and treat your case as if it were our own.

    “They were very helpful in handling my roofing situation with my home owner’s insurance company. Yes, the process took a while because these kinds of things usually do. I worked mostly with Isabella (a case manager there) who was professional, courteous, and pleasant. Thank you Sunshine State Law Firm and thank you Isabella.”

We’re fighting to get you back on your feet

Before Sunshine

Overwhelmed, in pain, alone against the insurance company and treated like a claim number.

With Sunshine

Informed, protected and back on your feet.

  • The right doctors

    Treatment that actually helps you heal, with second opinions when they matter.

  • Bills and lost wages recovered

    Medical bills covered and the paychecks you missed made up.

  • Your car replaced or roof repaired

    What the crash or the storm took from you, put back.

  • Peace of mind

    You always know what’s next. And once you’re family, you’re a client for life.

Every case is different. Past results don’t guarantee a similar outcome.
