A serious accident can turn your life upside down in seconds. One minute you’re going about your day, and the next, you’re left with injuries, bills, paperwork, and questions no one’s answering clearly. You may be in pain. You may be out of work. You may be overwhelmed. And through all of it, there’s a quiet but urgent concern in the back of your mind: Am I going to get what I actually deserve?
At Andrew Pickett Law, we’re here to make sure you do.
If you’ve been hurt in an auto accident or any other personal injury situation in Florida, don’t leave your recovery to chance, or to the insurance company. Call us. We fight for full and fair compensation, not just quick settlements.
Getting What You’re Owed Isn’t Automatic, It’s Fought For
Insurance adjusters are not paid to be generous. Their goal is to close claims quickly and cheaply. That often means offering less than what your case is truly worth, especially if you aren’t represented by an attorney. You might be told your claim is “standard” or “capped,” or that certain damages aren’t covered. That’s rarely the full story.
A skilled personal injury lawyer knows how to value your claim fully, not just your medical bills, but everything that’s impacted your life.

Here’s What We Do to Maximize Your Compensation
We Handle the Negotiations
Most personal injury cases settle out of court, but only after hard, strategic negotiation. We bring decades of legal experience to the table and don’t back down when insurers push lowball offers. We’ve seen all the tactics. We counter every one of them with facts, law, and leverage.
We Account for All Damages
It’s not just the ER visit and broken bone. It’s the physical therapy, the emotional trauma, the lost income from missed work, and the cost of ongoing care. It’s the changes in your day-to-day life, the strain on your family, the hobbies you can’t enjoy anymore, the sleep you’ve lost. These aren’t just details. They are real losses. We quantify them, document them, and argue for them.
We Coordinate With Medical Providers
Many injury victims don’t know they can defer medical bills through letters of protection until their case is resolved. We help with that. We also work with your doctors to obtain detailed reports that support your injury claims, because vague records lead to vague settlements.
We Prepare for Trial (Even If It Doesn’t Go There)
While most cases settle, insurers often only make serious offers once they see a legal team that’s prepared to take a case to court. We build your case from day one as if it might go to trial. That preparation strengthens your position and speeds up the resolution process.
Florida-Specific Factors You Need to Know
No-Fault Doesn’t Mean No Lawyer
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning your own insurance (PIP) covers some medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. But PIP is limited, it typically covers only up to $10,000, and often far less. For anything beyond that, you’ll need to pursue a claim against the at-fault party. That’s where we come in.
Modified Comparative Fault Rule
Under Florida’s current law, if you’re found more than 50% at fault, you’re barred from recovering damages. That means every detail, witness statements, accident reconstruction, traffic cams, matters. We work fast to establish liability clearly and protect your right to recover.
Time Limits Matter
In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is typically two years from the date of the accident (as of 2023 legal changes). That may sound like a long time, but gathering medical records, securing evidence, and building a case takes time. The sooner you start, the better your chances of success.
Not Just Auto Accidents: We Handle a Range of Injury Cases
While car accidents are the most common cases we see, personal injury law covers far more. If you were injured in a motorcycle accident, truck crash, pedestrian incident, slip and fall, we can help. Each of these situations comes with its own legal considerations, but the goal is always the same: to make sure you’re not left paying the price for someone else’s mistake.
We’ve helped clients with spinal injuries, concussions, complex fractures, and soft-tissue trauma. We’ve stood up for families who lost loved ones in wrongful death cases. We’ve fought for children, seniors, workers, and everyday people who deserved better.
