Fort Myers Car Accident Attorneys

Southwest Florida has grown faster than its roads. I-75 carries far more traffic than it was built for, US-41 and the Tamiami Trail run through a dense strip of commercial driveways and turn lanes, and Colonial Boulevard and Daniels Parkway back up badly at peak hours. Crashes in Lee County are common and often serious. If you were hurt in one, the Felicetti Law Firm can explain your options.

Fort Myers also has a large seasonal population. Winter brings a surge of visitors unfamiliar with local roads, and the region has a high proportion of older drivers and pedestrians, for whom a collision that might bruise a younger person can mean a fracture, a hospital stay and a long recovery. Insurers sometimes try to write those injuries off as pre-existing — a claim that has to be answered with proper medical documentation.

The Felicetti Law Firm handles Fort Myers car and truck collisions, motorcycle crashes, rideshare accidents, pedestrian and bicycle injuries, slip and fall claims and wrongful death matters throughout Lee County, including Cape Coral, Estero and Bonita Springs.

No case is too complex. The consultation is free and you pay no attorney fee unless we recover money for you. Call Felicetti at (800) 333-1988, any hour of the day or night. Se habla español.

Florida Deadlines and Fault Rules That Affect Your Fort Myers Claim

Florida gives most injury victims two years from the date of the crash to file suit — cut down from four years by House Bill 837 in March 2023. Florida is also a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays the first part of your medical bills no matter who caused the collision, but you must be seen by a doctor within 14 days or you can forfeit that benefit entirely. To step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver for pain and suffering, your injuries generally have to be permanent or otherwise significant. On fault, Florida bars recovery completely if you are found more than 50% responsible, which is why insurers work so hard to shift blame onto you in a recorded statement.

No Injury Is Minor When It’s Your Pain and Suffering

Serious injuries are costly, and in a growing region where medical providers are stretched, getting proper treatment documented can be as difficult as getting the insurer to pay. Medical care, a replacement vehicle, lost income, pain and long-term limitation all carry a price. Where another party’s negligence caused your injuries, the Felicetti Law Firm will pursue the full and fair compensation you are owed. Call (800) 333-1988 for a free case review.
