Personal, Direct Injury Representation in Venice, North Port, and Englewood

Transcript:
I'm David Harris, your local accident lawyer providing one-on-one representation and pursuing justice since 1995. In every accident injury claim, I provide a free consultation. This is a deep discussion about what happened in your situation. During our free consultation, we'll go over the details of your accident. This can be done by phone, video conference, or in person. It's your choice. We walk step-by-step through the incident. We discuss your injuries, medical care, and future needs. We also discuss the law and how it may affect you and your claim. If you have any photos, video, or documentation, then I'll ask you to share those for my review. And I'll answer all of your questions, share my opinions, and let you decide how you would like to proceed. I don't pressure you or require you to retain me. Instead, you choose what you want to do. If you decide to hire me as your
personal injury
attorney and I agree to represent you, then we'll get started right away. You do not owe me anything unless I recover money for you. You'll have my cell phone and also be free to text or email me when you have questions. You will always have direct access to me.

A free consultation that actually answers your questions

Since 1995, I’ve helped injured neighbors in $area1, $area2, and $area3 understand their rights and pursue justice after a crash. Your first step with me is a free, one-on-one consultation by phone, video, or in person, your choice. We’ll walk through what happened, what hurts, and what you need next. I’ll explain how Florida law applies to your situation, what evidence will matter, and where the value in your claim comes from. Bring photos, video, estimates, medical notes, or any other documents you have; I’ll review them and give you clear, practical guidance.
There’s no pressure and no obligation. I’ll answer every question and share my candid opinion of next steps. You decide how you want to proceed. If we choose to work together, we start immediately and you owe no attorney’s fee unless there’s a recovery.

What we cover in your free case review

A strong case begins with clarity. During our consultation, we will:
  • Reconstruct the incident step-by-step to identify every potential source of
    liability
    .
  • Discuss your injuries, current treatment, and likely future care so we can protect your health and document your losses.
  • Identify critical proof (photos, scene video, event data, witness names, repair estimates) and make a plan to preserve it.
  • Outline the insurance landscape: your insurance coverage and the at-
    fault
    driver’s so you know where coverage may exist.
  • Map your immediate next actions to safeguard your claim and reduce stress.
You’ll leave with a concrete plan, not a sales pitch.

Why direct access to your lawyer matters

When you hire me, you get my cell phone. Text when questions pop up, call when you need to make a quick decision, or email documents for review. Timely guidance prevents common mistakes, like giving a recorded statement too early, signing overly broad medical releases, or settling before your doctors understand the full extent of your injuries. I believe availability is part of advocacy, and it’s how I’ve practiced for decades in $area1, $area2, and $area3.

What I handle for injured clients

Every case is different, but the mission is the same: prove
fault
, document harm, and pursue full compensation. I represent people injured in:
  • Auto and motorcycle crashes
  • Bicycle and pedestrian collisions
  • Commercial and company-vehicle accidents
  • Dangerous premises and falls
  • Wrongful death
    , on behalf of families
If your injuries keep you from work, require therapy or surgery, or leave lasting limitations, we’ll build the medical and financial proof to demonstrate the real impact on your life.

The roadmap we follow—start to finish

You should know what’s happening and why. Here’s the framework I use to move your case forward:
  1. Early evidence preservation
    We secure police reports, scene photos, witness details, available video, and vehicle data. In commercial vehicle cases, we notify the company to preserve driver logs, maintenance records, and black-box information.
  2. Medical story and prognosis
    Your medical records tell the story of injury, recovery, and future needs. I coordinate with providers to ensure diagnoses, restrictions, and anticipated care are documented clearly and consistently.
  3. Financial documentation
    We track wage loss, reduced hours, mileage, co-pays, prescriptions, and other out-of-pocket costs. For significant injuries, I work with vocational and economic experts to project future losses.
  4. Liability
    standards and safety rules
    We compare what happened to what safe conduct required. In crashes, that means traffic laws and professional standards; in premises cases, maintenance and inspection duties; in trucking, federal and company rules.
  5. Evidence-driven negotiation and litigation when necessary
    I present a comprehensive demand supported by records, not guesswork. If the insurer will not be fair, we file suit and use the court process to obtain testimony and documents that hold them to the facts.

What compensation can include

Florida law allows recovery for the full scope of harm caused by
negligence
. Depending on your case, compensation may include:
  • Emergency care, hospitalizations, follow-up visits, therapy, and future medical treatment
  • Medical equipment, home/vehicle modifications, and travel to appointments
  • Lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and career impact
  • Pain, suffering, mental anguish, inconvenience, and loss of enjoyment of life
  • Scarring, disfigurement, and permanent impairment
  • Vehicle repair or total-loss replacement and other property damage
  • In
    wrongful death
    : funeral expenses and the family’s anguish losses
The goal isn’t a windfall. Instead, compensation is for your stability, dignity, and the resources you need to move forward.

Straight talk about insurers

Insurance adjuster
s may seem helpful, but their duty is to the company, not to you. They often request broad access to your medical history, push
quick settlement
s before your prognosis is clear, or suggest you don’t need a lawyer. With counsel, you control the timing and preserve the value of your claim. My job is to keep the focus on documented losses and the safety rules that were violated.

Your role and how I make it easier

Healing comes first. Keep your appointments, follow medical guidance, and tell your providers how injuries affect daily life and work. Save bills and receipts, log symptoms and missed time, and forward new records to me as you receive them. I’ll organize the paper trail, coordinate record requests, and handle insurer communications so you can concentrate on recovery.

Local advocacy for $area1, $area2, and $area3

Being local matters. I know the roads, intersections, and providers that shape cases in $area1, $area2, and $area3. That helps with fast investigation, practical solutions for transportation and work, and communication that fits your life—text updates when you’re in treatment, calls when strategy decisions arise, and in-person meetings when you want them.

Answers to common questions

Do I pay anything up front
No. I work on a contingency fee, so you pay no attorney’s fee unless we recover money for you.
What if I might be partly at fault
Florida’s comparative-
fault
rules may still allow recovery. We evaluate responsibility carefully and support it with evidence.
How long will my case take
It depends on your medical recovery and the insurer’s response. We balance speed with accuracy so you don’t settle before you understand future needs.
Will I work directly with my lawyer
Yes. You’ll work directly with me on strategy, negotiation, and any court proceedings. You’ll also have my cell phone for quick questions and updates.
