If someone else’s negligence has left you or a loved one seriously injured, or has cost a loved one their life, no amount of money can make up for your suffering and loss. But even in circumstances as tragic as these, you and your family are entitled to compensation to the full letter of the law.
At Shapiro, Goldman Babboni & Walsh, this compensation is known by one word: "Justice."
Motorcycle accidents can be even more devastating than car or truck accidents, injuries and damage more extensive. 
Our personal injury attorneys have extensive experience in claims that involve commercial trucks.
If you have suffered traumatic brain injury due to another persons negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. 
Unsafe conditions like faulty wiring, improperly stacked merchandise and loose carpeting cause accidents resulting in injury or even death. Accident Attorneys David Shapiro, David Goldman, Michael Babboni and Bernard Walsh specialize in personal injury and wrongful death cases. They have over 100 years of combined experience in accidents which have led to:
These tragic, life-altering injuries are often the results of negligence, unsafe conditions or defective products caused by:
The personal injury law firm of Shapiro, Goldman, Babboni & Walsh has full-service office locations in Sarasota, Bradenton, St. Petersburg, Venice, Englewood, Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Ft. Myers, Arcadia, Lakeland and maintains law offices all over the Southwest Florida.
Surprisingly, it costs you nothing to put the more than 100 years of combined Floridainjury law experience of Shapiro, Goldman, Babboni & Walsh to work for you. We work strictly on a contingency fee, or a fixed percentage of your accident settlement. This means that we do not receive payment for attorneys’ fees or costs unless we win your injury case for you. It also means that you would not owe us any out-of-pocket expenses, costs or attorney’s fees.
Remember, in most accidents, you or your immediate family will be contacted by an insurance company claims adjuster or lawyer. Insurance company claims adjusters, lawyers, expert witnesses and other representatives are trained to act in the best interest of the insurance company to reduce your settlement. It is their job to increase insurance company profits at your expense.
When you know how insurance companies work, and you know that Shapiro, Goldman, Babboni & Walsh will work for you without personal costs or attorney’s fees, it makes sense to trust us to fight back against insurance company claims adjusters and lawyers - and get justice for your injuries.
