Florida - Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Claims

Our firm represents individuals and their families who have been seriously injured or killed as a result of the negligence, carelessness, or recklessness of others. Plaintiff personal injury and wrongful death cases can be difficult. Insurance companies want to limit their exposure or liability when a serious injury or death occurs. Insurance companies hire attorneys whose job it is to aggressively undermine each aspect of the plaintiff's claim. Through experience, we have become familiar with their tactics in order to protect the rights, health and safety of our clients.

We have successfully represented individuals and their families with claims caused by the negligence, carelessness, and recklessness of others in situations such as:

• Auto or Car Accident
• Motorcycle Accident
• Bicycle Accident
• Semi-Truck Crash or Accident
• Pedestrian Accident
• Construction Accident
• Workplace Accident
• Occupational, Safety, and Health Administration (OSHA) violations
• Uninsured and Under-Insured Motorist Cases
• Fires and Explosions
• Nursing Home Negligence
• Slip and Fall, Trip and Fall
• Toxic Torts

A personal injury not only causes physical pain, but often emotional and financial hardship through loss of work, medical bills and stress placed upon families and loved ones. We often take our physical and mental well being for granted-until something goes wrong. When an accident happens, lives are forever changed. Simple pleasures become chores. Daily routines are disrupted. Economic losses are often devastating. Whether caused by a car crash, job-related accident, or other negligent, careless, or reckless conduct, injuries alter lives forever.

At Pelham & Andrews , we take responsibility for effective, aggressive investigation and representation, allowing our injured clients to attend to health, family and economic issues, while pursuing a variety of legal means to obtain the highest possible financial recovery. We also never overlook the intrinsic value of peace of mind and always factor that into our cases.

Pelham & Andrews represents injured victims in all types of injury cases. In auto or car accident cases, Mr. Pelham's prior experience as a police officer gives him an added advantage in discussions with the insurance company's adjuster or attorney concerning issues involving causation of the accident. Our attorneys have handled hundreds of motor vehicle accident cases in Florida, including car crashes, motorcycle accidents, semi truck accidents, and pedestrian strikes.

Many lawyers only want to accept the largest cases. At Pelham & Andrews, we do not evaluate a case based upon the amount of the anticipated settlement. We believe that every injury victim deserves to be represented by an experienced attorney. Pelham & Andrews' client list includes people from all walks of life; including, but not limited to law enforcement officers, construction workers, business owners, and students.

Pelham & Andrews handles all personal injury cases on a contingency basis for both attorney fees and costs. Fees are based on a percentage of the settlement or recovery and costs are the actual amount spent on the client's case. This means that if a settlement is not reached, the client does not owe Pelham & Andrews any amount of money. Referring attorneys are compensated in accordance with Florida Bar rules.

If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident or other accident, please do not hesitate to contact the Florida auto accident and personal injury lawyers  at Pelham & Andrews today for an initial case evaluation.
