Personal Injury
When the injury isn't your fault, the consequences shouldn't be either.
Overview
Personal injury law gives people who are hurt by someone else's negligence a way to recover the medical bills, lost wages, pain, and disruption that follow. Florida's rules — including the comparative-negligence framework, the two-year statute of limitations under §95.11, and the threshold requirement for non-economic damages — make experienced counsel important from the first day.
Martin Law Firm represents plaintiffs across Southwest Florida and statewide. Recent results include a $4.5 million wrongful-death recovery in a 2022 I-75 trucking collision in Lee County and a $1.5 million medical-malpractice recovery against a major hospital and providers in Sarasota County in 2021. Auto-accident recoveries through Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, and Naples have ranged from six figures into seven.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to pay anything to start a case?
No. We work on a contingency-fee basis. If we don't recover, you owe no fee for our services.
How long do I have to file?
Florida Statute §95.11 gives most personal injury claims two years from the date of the injury. Wrongful death is two years from the date of death. Missing the deadline is generally fatal to a claim.
Can I recover pain and suffering?
Florida limits non-economic damages in auto cases unless statutory thresholds are met — typically a permanent injury, scarring, or loss of an important bodily function. We can analyze whether your case meets the threshold.
What's my job during the case?
Get better. Follow your medical treatment plan. We handle the insurance carrier and the legal work.
