Florida Personal Injury Attorneys
From car crashes on I-95 to falls in grocery stores, from catastrophic injuries to the loss of a loved one — when negligence hurts you or your family anywhere in Florida, Shiner Law Group answers. More than $500 million recovered, offices across the state, and one promise on every case: no fee unless we win.
Injured in Florida? You Have Rights — and a Deadline
Florida is a beautiful place to live — and a statistically dangerous one. Hundreds of thousands of traffic crashes every year, some of the nation's most dangerous roads for pedestrians and cyclists, a tourism economy that fills hotels, attractions, and highways year-round, and rapid growth that puts more people in harm's way than the infrastructure was built for. When the harm comes from someone else's negligence, Florida law gives victims real rights: full compensation for medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering.
It also imposes hard limits. Most negligence claims must be filed within two years. Florida's modified comparative negligence rule bars recovery entirely if you are found more than 50% at fault — and insurers work relentlessly to push blame past that line. And the compensation itself almost always flows through insurance policies that must be found, stacked, and fought for.
Shiner Law Group has recovered more than $500 million for injured Floridians since 2002 — car, truck, and motorcycle crashes, falls and unsafe properties, defective products, medical negligence, catastrophic injuries, and wrongful death. Offices across the state. Home and hospital visits anywhere in Florida. You pay nothing unless we win.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (561) 777-7700 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7 from offices across Florida.

What to Do After an Accident — Step by Step
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Get to Safety and Call 911
Report injuries and request police at the scene. The crash report documents key facts - and what you tell the officer for that report is protected by Florida's accident report privilege.
Photograph Everything
Vehicles, damage, plates, skid marks, debris, traffic signals, and your visible injuries. Wide shots and close-ups both help.
Exchange Information & Identify Witnesses
Names, phone numbers, insurance and license details - and contact information for witnesses. Note nearby businesses that may have camera footage.
Seek Medical Care Right Away
Same day if possible. Prompt treatment protects your health - and for crash victims using PIP benefits, Florida requires initial treatment within 14 days.
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
Decline recorded statements and do not sign anything from the other side's insurer before speaking with an attorney.

Florida Injury Law: Three Rules That Shape Every Case
These three rules decide more Florida injury claims than any others.
Two-Year Deadline
Most Florida negligence lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury (HB 837, effective 2023). Miss it and the claim is gone forever. Claims against government entities, medical providers, and certain others carry additional requirements.
The 50% Bar
Under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault — and barred entirely if you are more than 50% at fault. Insurers work hard to push blame past that line.
Insurance Reality
Compensation almost always comes from insurance — auto liability, PIP, UM/UIM, homeowner's, or commercial policies. Finding every available policy is often the difference between a partial recovery and a full one.
Where Florida Injuries Happen
Every corner of Florida generates injury cases — and every case type has its own patterns, defendants, and insurance layers.
Wherever and however you were hurt, we know the terrain: the law, the defense playbook, and where the evidence lives.

Insurance Companies You May Deal With — and What They Don't Want You to Know
Every major insurer operating in Florida uses the same playbook: delay, deny, and minimize. Understanding it is the first step to defeating it.
State Farm
Florida's largest auto insurer, known for aggressive comparative fault assignments and slow payment approvals
GEICO
High claim volume across Florida, with quick lowball offers designed to close claims early
Progressive
Sophisticated systems that use recorded statements to build comparative fault cases against claimants
Allstate
Known for claims software that systematically undervalues soft tissue and pain and suffering damages
USAA
Serves military families with a fair-dealing reputation but standard delay tactics on larger claims
Travelers
Common commercial-vehicle insurer with aggressive defense of truck and delivery claims
Liberty Mutual
Frequently disputes causation in soft-tissue claims, requiring thorough medical documentation
Nationwide
Uses early recorded-statement requests to lock in accounts before injuries are fully known
The most important thing to know: the defense starts building its case before you have spoken to an attorney. Shiner Law Group levels this from day one. Call (561) 777-7700 before giving anyone a statement.
