Our Approach to Florida Personal Injury Cases
At Andrew Pickett Law, our entire legal team is dedicated to your case. With extensive experience working on both sides of the insurance industry, we possess a deep understanding of insurance company tactics and stay continually updated on shifting legal frameworks.
As your Florida personal injury attorneys, we take every necessary step to preserve critical evidence, build a strategic framework for your claim, and aggressively confront insurance providers on your behalf. We leverage our trial experience to level the playing field, allowing you to focus on physical recovery while we pursue the compensation you need to move forward with your life.
Your First Consultation: What to Bring
Meeting with an attorney for the first time can feel overwhelming, but our mission is to guide you clearly through every stage of the civil justice system.
To help us evaluate your claim as accurately as possible during your free initial consultation, please bring any documentation you have access to. This may include:
- Accident Reports: Police reports, crash reports, or driver exchanges of information.
- Insurance Information: Automobile policies, insurance ID cards, and any umbrella or excess liability policies.
- Healthcare Coverage: Health insurance cards, as well as Medicare or Medicaid documentation.
- Visual Evidence: Photographs of vehicle damage, the scene of the accident, and your visible injuries.
- Medical Records: Initial medical reports, diagnostic results, and medical bills.
- Witness Information: Names, phone numbers, and addresses of any eyewitnesses.
- Impact Statements: Any documentation from employers, physicians, or family members detailing how the injury limits your daily routine or ability to work.
- Corroborative Correspondence: Letters, emails, or settlement offers received from insurance adjusters.
Note: If you were hospitalized immediately following your accident, please do not worry if you lack this documentation. If you choose to retain our firm, our team can handle the collection and subpoenaing of these records for you. Learn more about how the legal process works by exploring our Personal Injury FAQs.
Timelines Matter: Florida’s Statute of Limitations
Critical Legal Update: In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits based on negligence is two years from the date of the accident.
While two years may seem like ample time, waiting to file a claim can severely damage your case. Over time, physical evidence disappears, skid marks fade, surveillance footage is overwritten, and witness memories become unreliable.
To give your case the strongest foundation, it is highly recommended to speak with a Melbourne personal injury lawyer as soon as your injuries have been stabilized. If you are hospitalized and unable to travel to our office, a member of our legal team can meet with you directly at your medical facility.
Preparing Every Case for the Courtroom
We approach every single case with the rigorous preparation required for a jury trial. Our firm collaborates with independent accident investigators to reconstruct the scene, secure vital evidence, and accurately calculate the full financial scope of your damages.
Insurance companies are acutely aware of which firms settle quickly and which firms are prepared to litigate. By building a trial-ready case from day one, we signal to insurers that we mean business, which frequently incentivizes them to offer fairer pretrial settlements. If the insurance provider refuses to offer an equitable settlement, we are fully prepared to present your case before a judge and jury.
Types of Personal Injury Claims We Handle
If you or a loved one has suffered an injury due to another party’s negligence, you may be legally entitled to financial compensation. Our legal team regularly handles complex claims involving:
- Car Accident Cases
- Commercial Trucking Accidents
- Motorcycle Crashes
- Slip and Fall / Premises Liability
- Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
- Boating Accidents
Understanding Personal Injury Damages
Depending on the specific circumstances of your accident, you may be eligible to recover both economic and non-economic damages:
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to missed work, reduced hours, or a documented loss of future earning capacity.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by your injuries.
- Past Medical Expenses: Reimbursement for hospital stays, surgeries, emergency room care, and diagnostic testing already incurred.
- Future Medical Expenses: Estimated costs for ongoing medical care, future surgeries, prescriptions, and assistive medical devices.
- Rehabilitation Costs: The financial costs associated with physical therapy, occupational therapy, or specialized rehabilitation treatments.
- Loss of Consortium: Damages claimable by a spouse for the loss of companionship, affection, and support resulting from the injury.
A Note on Property Damage
Claims for property damage are generally evaluated based on the vehicle’s fair market value or repair costs. However, if the property damage occurred alongside a bodily injury, these claims are integrated to ensure your medical and logistical losses are fully accounted for.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"
