Time is Critical: Why You Must Act Quickly in Lee County
In personal injury cases, evidence begins disappearing the moment the accident is cleared. Critical surveillance footage from local Fort Myers intersections or retail stores is often overwritten within 48 to 72 hours. Furthermore, Florida law strictly limits the time you have to seek initial medical treatment (14 days) and file a lawsuit (2 years). Do not wait for the insurance company to build a case against you. Contact our Fort Myers office immediately so our rapid-response team can subpoena camera footage, secure witness statements, and protect your right to maximum financial compensation.
Fort Myers Personal Injury Practice Areas
1. Car, Truck, and Roadway Accidents
We protect the rights of victims injured on Lee County’s busiest and most dangerous transit corridors, including I-75, U.S. 41 (Cleveland Ave), Summerlin Road, Colonial Boulevard, and the Caloosahatchee and Edison Bridges.
- Fort Myers Car & Auto Collisions: Strategic trial representation for rear-end crashes on Daniels Parkway, distracted driving on McGregor Blvd, and high-speed intersection collisions along Six Mile Cypress Parkway or Alico Road in San Carlos Park.

2. Premises Liability & Property Owner Negligence
If a Fort Myers business, landlord, or property owner ignores safety rules and you are injured on their property, they must be held legally accountable.
- Slip, Trip, and Fall Accidents: Florida Statute § 768.0755 requires injured victims to prove a business had actual or constructive knowledge of a hazard.

We hold local healthcare facilities, rehabilitation centers, and medical professionals fully accountable when they violate the accepted standard of medical care.

- Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) & Spinal Cord Damage: Calculating the true, lifetime cost of medical recovery for catastrophic neurological harm and permanent paralysis.

Frequently Asked Questions (Fort Myers Accident Claims)
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Fort Myers?
Due to recent Florida tort reform, Florida Statute § 95.11 dictates that you generally have two (2) years from the date of the accident to file a general personal injury negligence lawsuit. It is critical to contact an attorney immediately to preserve local intersection footage and witness statements before evidence is lost.
What if the insurance company claims the accident was partially my fault?
Under Florida Statute § 768.81 (Modified Comparative Fault), if a Lee County jury finds you to be more than 50% at fault for an accident, you are legally barred from recovering any financial compensation. Insurance adjusters actively try to shift blame during recorded statements. We shield you from these tactics to protect your right to full compensation.
How long do I have to seek medical attention under Florida law after a car accident?
Under Florida Statute § 627.736, you must seek medical care within 14 days of an automobile accident to protect your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance benefits. You must be evaluated by a healthcare professional immediately to protect both your physical health and your legal rights.
Which local hospitals handle severe trauma in Fort Myers?
If you suffer a catastrophic injury in Lee County, you will likely be transported to Gulf Coast Medical Center on Daniels Parkway, Lee Memorial Hospital (which houses the regional Level II Trauma Center), or HealthPark Medical Center in South Fort Myers. If your injuries prevent you from traveling, our legal team will gladly arrange a private consultation directly at your medical facility to ensure you receive immediate legal protection without the stress of travel.
How do I get my Fort Myers crash report?
When you retain Pittman Law Firm, our firm handles the retrieval of all police reports, witness statements, and video footage directly from the Fort Myers Police Department on Widman Way, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office on Six Mile Cypress Pkwy, and the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP).
How much does it cost to hire a Fort Myers personal injury lawyer?
We operate on a strict contingency fee basis. Our firm covers all local investigation costs, court filing fees at the Lee County Justice Center, and medical expert witness fees upfront. We only get paid a percentage of the money we successfully win for you at the end of your case.
