Gainesville and Ocala Personal Injury Attorneys
Handling Cases for Injured People and Their Families Throughout Florida
If you have been injured, the insurance company of the responsible party may try to get you to sign something or to make a recorded statement. You will never help your case by doing so, and you could end up damaging your right to collect fair compensation.
Insurance companies handle thousands of claims and their goal is to pay you the least amount of money possible. Only your attorney will look out for your best interests.
Our lawyers at Schackow Mercadante & Edwards handle all types of personal injury cases, from dog bites to trucking accidents. For more information about a type of case, click on the heading below:
This may be your first time you have been injured in a car accident, but our lawyers handle cases like yours every day. Our experience will help you obtain all of the compensation you deserve, both from your no-fault insurance company and the insurance company of the at-fault driver. We handle all types of car accident cases, including accidents caused by a distracted driver and those involving underinsured or uninsured motorists.
Our lawyers will carefully investigate all factors that may be a part of establishing liability in a car-truck wreck, such as truck speeding and driving too long without a rest break.
Motorcycle accidents cause serious leg, road rash and head injuries, which aren't covered by Florida no-fault insurance. To obtain compensation, you will need to file a claim against the insurance company of the at-fault driver.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
If you have no-fault insurance on your car, your own PIP will pay for your medical bills and lost wages if you are injured on a bike or as a pedestrian.
Obtaining the compensation you deserve for a slip-and-fall injury can be difficult. Unlike car accidents, there usually isn't an official report saying what happened and who was at fault.
Injures such as bed sores, dehydration, malnutrition, bruises and broken bones suffered in a nursing home could be signs of neglect or abuse.
Representing clients who have suffered as the result of a defective medical product or dangerous drug, such as a hip implant, Accutane or other drug or medical device.
Florida has a two-year statute of limitations in fatal accident cases, so it's important to contact a lawyer quickly to allow time for the legal process.
