Sarasota Personal Injury Attorneys

Folks, I am a Sarasota personal injury lawyer that offers on the spot assistance in an emergency 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Although I have been personal injury lawyer for 23 years this is the first time I have opened my own firm.  I did so because I wanted to provide a new approach to handling cases based on attention to detail and one on one contact between the client and the lawyer.  What makes my firm unique is that I am available 24/7 in an emergency.  My goal is to provide on the spot assistance for people involved in serious injury cases.   In my 23 years of practicing injury law I have become convinced that the earlier I get involved in a case, the more I can help.  Read More…

Slip & Fall

There is good news and bad news about Fall Down cases; the good news is you do not have to prove a permanent injury, as in a car crash case, to recover for pain and suffering.  The bad news is 99% of the time you will have to file a lawsuit to recover damages because the negligent party will not admit to being at fault.  My biggest verdicts as an Accident Attorney have been in fall down cases.  Many times the key to success is thoroughly digging into the facts, deposing as many people as possible, and finally getting to the truth.  I enjoy these types of cases and encourage you to call me.  Read More On Accident Attorney Cases…

Car Accidents

Car accidents comprise a major part of my practice.  I have handled over 1000 car accident cases in my career.  The main elements in any car crash case are negligence, causation and damages.  The other main factor is coverage.  You can have a potentially good case but without coverage there may be no way to get compensation for your injuries.  Usually negligence is not a factor especially in a rear end situation.  In Florida there is a presumption that the rear ending vehicle driver is negligent.  The main fight in a car crash case is usually over causation and damages.  Read More Car Accident Cases…

Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are similar to car crash cases in that the elements are the same as negligence cases, causation and damages.  Unlike a car crash case there is no permanency threshold for pain and suffering because the recoverable pain and suffering in a wrongful death case is for the survivors.  Many times unfortunately a case that starts our as serious car crash case becomes a wrongful death case if the injured party dies.  At that point the personal injury case is extinguished and the wrongful death case begins.  Read More On Wrongful Death Cases…
