Justice For Injuries
As experienced personal injury lawyers in Bradenton, Sarasota, St. Petersburg and all of Florida, we see the personal side of serious injury every day. Our law firm understands the stress, uncertainty, and vulnerability many families will experience after a serious accident. You, or your loved ones will be focusing on dealing with the pain, disruption and emotions brought on by a physical injury. The last thing anyone wants to deal with in this situation is going back and forth with an insurance company to get the compensation needed to cover the unexpected, and substantial expenses caused by being involved in a crash.
Our law firm will take the burden from your shoulders. In cases of serious injury, insurance companies will often move quickly to attempt to settle your claim for as little money as possible. However, when the full costs of an accident are figured out it becomes clear that more compensation will be needed to fully recover. Additionally, some cases may qualify for other types of compensation that a laymen would not be aware of and the insurance company will not reveal. The lawyers of Shapiro Goldman Babboni Fernandez & Walsh will step in, investigate your unique situation, and aggressively protect your financial interests.
