Our lawyers have worked in some of Florida’s biggest law firms handling a variety of civil disputes, litigation, and trials. Our firm’s practice areas, therefore, encompass a diverse array of civil disputes, including agricultural disputes and construction litigation, as well as the spectrum of personal injury and wrongful death claims.
“Personal injury” cases encompass more than just trucking, motorcycle, and car accidents. People can be seriously injured or killed due to someone else’s negligence in a variety of ways, such as from a defective product, a fall or other injury at a construction site, a bicycle collision, or a boating accident.
Our comprehensive personal injury law practice includes:
After any personal injury caused by the negligence of another, the injured party has the right to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other legal damages from the responsible party. Getting a full and fair amount of compensation can be an uphill battle, however. Insurance companies will deny that you are seriously injured or that their insured is at fault. They might even claim your own negligence is to blame. And if they do admit fault, they will try to get you to settle quickly for less than your claim is worth.
Firm founder, Javan Grant, grew up in the Florida farming industry. At Slater | Grant, we apply real-world knowledge and experience toward solving the legal issues facing farmers and agribusiness landowners. Our agricultural law practice encompasses a wide range of agricultural disputes, including:
We have successfully tried a variety of agriculture disputes, both in the courtroom and in arbitration. We are one of the few firms in Florida with this kind of experience in agriculture cases.
At the beginning, we gather information from you about the accident and your injuries. We then gather documents and records from medical providers, insurance companies, the police, and others.
We then investigate and analyze your claim deeper, reviewing new medical information as you get treatment and procedures, interviewing witnesses, potentially hiring investigators and reviewing surveillance, and taking other steps to help us evaluate the value of your claim.
Our attorneys then talk to you about the value of your claim and prepare a written demand to the at-fault person or company and their insurance company, requesting that they pay you money. If appropriate, we will negotiate with them and attempt to settle your claim for an amount that fairly compensates you so you can recover and move on with life.
If the defense is unwilling to pay what you deserve, we will file a lawsuit and take your case to trial. Along the way, we talk with the defense lawyers about settlement to see if their clients are willing to pay you to fairly compensate you for your injuries.
