Florida Keys Personal Injury Lawyer

Were you or a loved one hurt in an accident in the Florida Keys? Do you believe the accident was someone else’s fault? If you answered yes to both of these questions, we recommend you contact an attorney as soon as possible. When you are injured due to another person’s carelessness, recklessness, or intentional misconduct, you may have the right to pursue compensation. You can hold that negligent person responsible, either through an insurance claim or a personal injury lawsuit. Instead of trying to handle the court process or the insurance adjuster’s questions yourself, we recommend calling a Florida Keys personal injury lawyers at Gerson & Schwartz P.A. (877) 475-2905.

A personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim process takes time, experience, and legal knowledge. It is not something you should do alone, especially after you suffer injuries in an accident and are recovering. Representing yourself decreases your chance of receiving a compensation and your risk of receiving a low settlement offer.

We Represent Residents & Tourists in the Florida Keys

Off the southern coast of Florida is an archipelago known as the Florida Keys. This curved row of islands divides the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. It also marks the edge of Florida Bay. Overall, the islands have a total of 137 square miles of land and more than 77,000 inhabitants, though some of the keys are only coral reefs. Some of the most popular locations are Key Largo , the most northern of the Florida Keys, and the Key West , the southernmost point of the Keys and the U.S. Key West also is the most populated area of the Keys, which 32 percent of the entire population of the islands. Islamorada, made up of Plantation Key, Windley Key, Upper Matecumbe Key, Lower Matecumbe Key, Indian Key, and Lignumvitae Key, is another popular place to vacation.

At Gerson & Schwartz P.A., we represent residents of all of the keys after they are injured in accidents, from car accidents to slip and falls and everything in between. After living and working in Miami for decades, we are familiar with the Keys, their local court systems—since they fall into more than one county. We also represent tourists who visited the Keys and were injured in accidents there. If you or a loved one were hurt in the Florida Keys, whether you were a resident or a visitor, do not hesitate to call our personal injury attorneys for Florida Keys for advice.

Car Accidents in the Florida Keys

Though the islands are off the coast of Florida, they are hardly isolated. Highway 1, also known as the Overseas Highway, runs through most of the inhabited islands. Anyone can drive south from Miami and hit the keys. The Seven Mile Bridge connects the Lower Keys to the Middle Keys, and the Long Key Bridge connects the Middle keys from the Upper Keys. Unfortunately, as scenic and beautiful as the drive through the Keys may be, it also is potentially dangerous. Many car accidents occur on Hwy-1 and Seven Mile Bridge. After an accident on these thoroughfares, you should contact our personal injury lawyers for the Florida Keys.
