No Legal Fees for Justice With Our Florida Personal Injury Law Firm

There is no cost to evaluate your case or begin working on your fatal car accident claim. Our personal injury law firm operates on a contingency-fee pricing arrangement. Payment is dependent on the outcome of your case. Here’s what that means for you and your family:

  • You will only pay your attorney’s fees if we win your case.
  • You won’t have to worry about counting billable hours or coming up with the money for a retainer.
  • You will not pay any upfront fees for our legal services.
  • We can allocate time and resources to begin your case right away.

Our fees are taken out of the compensation you receive if and when your case is resolved. We want to give you the best possible chance of seeking compensation––regardless of your financial standing.

How Our Florida Fatal Car Accident Attorney Can Help

It’s likely that your loved one’s car accident was caused by the negligent or reckless actions of another person. Your fatal car accident lawyer in Florida will file a wrongful death claim on your behalf to recover the compensation your family deserves.

Here’s what you can expect during our partnership:

We’ll Seek Appropriate Damages in a Wrongful Death Claim

Your Florida wrongful death attorney can help you recover damages (money owed to you for your financial and non-financial losses) for multiple items, including:

  • Funeral and burial expenses
  • Medical bills your loved one accrued before their passing
  • Loss of financial support provided by your loved one
  • Loss of services your loved one will no longer perform at home
  • Loss of care, guidance, protection, companionship, and more
  • Grief or depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Reduced enjoyment of life
  • Other emotional distress, mental anguish, and pain and suffering

The Negligent Driver Could Owe You Punitive Damages

A willful disregard for the rights, safety, and lives of others is reprehensible by most standards. This is the exact behavior that intoxicated drivers display. If your loved one passed away in a fatal car accident in Florida due to another driver’s intoxication, you may be entitled to punitive damages. Under Florida Statutes § 768.72, the courts can award these damages to punish offenders in certain situations. For instance, the court may levy punitive damages on a driver who chronically drinks and drives.

Your fatal car accident lawyer can advise you of the specific damages you are entitled to in your Florida wrongful death case. We will also guide you through the legal requirements for filing a claim.

"Our family is flat out impressed with the Andrew Pickett Law firm technical mastery, they never wavered with kind direction as our recovery prolonged during the COVID-19, and they delivered the maximum settlement possible."

We Will Manage Your Wrongful Death Case’s Deadlines

Florida limits how long you have to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d) notes that you generally have two years to file your case. The two-year deadline begins from the date of your loved one’s passing.

Florida Statutes § 95.051 notes that some exceptions may apply, depending on the details of your loved one’s passing. For instance, if your loved one passed away in a hit-and-run collision, the state could pause your filing deadline until the at-fault driver is found.

There are many things that go into preparing and filing a wrongful death case. We recommend starting the legal process as soon as possible. If you file your case too late, the courts could dismiss it. When you partner with our injury firm, we will manage your case’s deadlines and everything they require.

Your Legal Advocate is a Former Prosecutor Dedicated to Fighting for Victims and Families

As a former prosecutor, I understand the importance of meeting critical deadlines. Further, this courtroom litigation experience has enabled me to take on big insurance corporations and try to verdict more than 50 jury trials in the last 10 years.

My experience gives me unique insight into traffic accident cases like yours. We make every effort to settle with the insurance company in negotiations, but we aren’t afraid to go to trial. When you choose me as your Florida fatal accident attorney, I will:

  • Conduct a detailed investigation of your loved one’s deadly car crash
  • Gather evidence of the negligence that led to your loved one’s passing
  • Determine who the liable parties are
  • Compile your records to prove economic and non-economic losses
  • Communicate with all parties, including the insurance company, witnesses, medical professionals, experts, and police on your behalf
  • Provide consistent communication, such as frequent updates on your case
  • Fight for you in court, if a lawsuit is the right path to compensation for you

What Should I Do After Losing a Loved One in Florida?

We want you to focus on your health and well-being after losing a loved one in Brevard County. We encourage you to spend time with your family and do things you enjoy. In regard to your case, we suggest that you:

  • Consider prompt legal action
  • Keep all information related to your loved one’s passing
  • Limit what you share with uninvolved parties about your case
  • Allow your lawyer to manage all insurance-related communications

Working with Tiffany Whitehouse, Vonda, and Lauren at Andrew Pickett Law Firm was an amazing experience for me. They were really professional, attentive, and committed to my case from beginning to end. Their diligence and genuine concern for achieving the greatest result for me were what truly stood out. I genuinely felt like I was in good hands the entire time because of their dedication and teamwork, which made a difficult situation much easier to face. I got the best outcomes I could have imagined because of their hard work and knowledge. I am incredibly appreciative and would heartily suggest their team to anyone in need of legal assistance.

My experience is based on 2 settlements so far, still pending another case and 1 of the already settled cases M&M took but didn't want to keep after stringing me along for 4 months. So just choose Andrew Pickett Law, don't waste time with another injury attorney. Tiffany Whitehouse is great, she was confident in my cases, kept me informed and very accommodating. We didn't even have to go to court for those 2 cases. And because I had already trusted them with 2 cases, I also gave them a third case which settled quickly. My only regret, I just wish I had known about them sooner. Thanks for everything! I have already recommended my friends and clients and will continue.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I cannot say enough amazing things about Tiffany Whitehouse and her entire team. From the very beginning, I felt genuinely cared for, supported, and prioritized throughout my entire experience. Tiffany is an absolute powerhouse her knowledge, confidence, and attention to detail truly set her apart from any attorney I’ve ever worked with. She knows her craft inside and out, and you can feel that level of expertise in every interaction. What really stood out to me was how responsive and efficient everyone was. Communication was always clear and timely, and I was never left wondering about the status of my case. Tiffany and her paralegal, Vonda, worked seamlessly together and made everything feel organized and stress-free. Vonda was incredibly kind, attentive, and always made sure I had what I needed. They both went above and beyond in ways that made a stressful situation feel manageable. I also want to recognize the admin team, especially Lauren and Hailey. They were so welcoming, helpful, and professional every time I interacted with them. It’s clear that this entire office operates with a high level of care, compassion, and dedication to their clients. Another thing that truly stood out to me was how thorough and patient everyone was when answering my questions. No matter how many I had, they took the time to explain everything in detail and made sure I fully understood even if it took 20 minutes. That level of patience and dedication meant so much and made me feel confident every step of the way. What meant the most to me is that they didn’t treat me like just another case they truly cared about me as a person. They checked in regularly, made sure I felt supported, and consistently went the extra mile. That kind of genuine compassion is rare to find. If you’re looking for a legal team that is not only highly skilled but also truly invested in you, I wholeheartedly recommend Andrew Pickett Law. They exceeded all of my expectations and I am beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me. Thank you all SO incredibly much!

I have known Mr. Pickett for more than a decade and have consistently been impressed by his professionalism, judgment, and skill as an advocate. He is an exceptional trial lawyer who refined his courtroom abilities while serving as an Assistant State Attorney, where he handled complex and demanding cases with distinction. He brings that same discipline, preparation, and strategic insight to his civil practice, where he is a tireless advocate for his clients. Mr. Pickett is diligent, detail-oriented, and unwavering in his commitment to achieving just and effective results. He reflects the highest standards of our profession and is a credit to the legal community.

I called this firm at the last moment before a 2 day away mediation that II had somehow not been notified of. The entire team, from the first contact and on, was really amazing!! Tiffany Whitehouse represented me and was so patient and efficient- especially for the amount of time she was given for my case!! She did a brilliant job for my situation. I would absolutely recommend this firm to anybody in need of them and I would definitely ask for Tiffany's services!!! Thank.you!!!
