A Tallahassee personal injury lawyer who answers your calls
If you were hurt in Tallahassee or anywhere in Leon County, a Tallahassee personal injury lawyer from our Jacksonville office can take on the insurance company for you. We handle car crashes, falls and wrongful death claims across Florida, in English or Spanish. The consultation is free, and there’s no fee unless we recover.
Hurt in Tallahassee? The insurer is already working.
We’re sorry this happened. A crash on I-10, a wreck on Capital Circle or a fall at an apartment complex near campus all start the same way: the insurance company gets to work before you’ve had time to think.
The recorded statement
A friendly call to “get your side.” Anything you say about speed, pain or what you saw can be used to cut your claim.
The blame game
Insurers look for any reason to say you caused part of it, because each point of fault lowers what they pay.
The fast, low offer
A quick check before you know whether you’ll need surgery or months away from work.
What waiting can cost you
The two-year deadline
Most Florida injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury.
The 14-day PIP rule
After a crash, PIP only pays if you get medical care within 14 days.
Over 50% at fault
If the insurer pins most of the blame on you, Florida law bars your recovery.
The $10,000 PIP cap
PIP is often used up long before a serious injury has healed.
The insurance company has a team. Now you do too.

What we handle
Cases we handle in Tallahassee
Florida injury law is the same in Tallahassee as anywhere in the state. Pick your case to see how the law treats it and what we do first.
Car accidents
Rear-end crashes in I-4 traffic, T-bones at busy intersections, highway rollovers. We sort out PIP, the other driver’s insurer and your own uninsured motorist coverage.
Car accidents: how we helpMotorcycle accidents
Florida’s no-fault PIP doesn’t cover riders, so the other driver’s coverage and your own uninsured motorist policy matter even more.
Motorcycle accidents: how we helpUber and Lyft accidents
Passenger, driver or the other car: rideshare crashes bring extra insurance layers, including the company’s policy during a trip.
Uber and Lyft accidents: how we helpPedestrian accidents
Hit in a crosswalk, a parking lot or on International Drive. Your own PIP may pay first, and the driver’s insurer owes the rest.
Pedestrian accidents: how we helpSlip and fall
Wet floors, broken stairs and poor lighting at stores, hotels and apartments. Florida makes you prove the owner knew, or should have known.
Slip and fall: how we helpDrowning injuries
Pools at hotels, apartment complexes and private homes need fences, gates and supervision. When owners cut corners, families pay the price.
Drowning injuries: how we helpWrongful death
When a careless act takes someone you love, we handle the claim with care so your family can grieve without the paperwork.
Wrongful death: how we helpProperty insurance claims
Hurricane, roof and denied homeowners claims, from the first call to the insurer through a lawsuit if it comes to that.
