How It Works — and Who Handles Your Case
You retain Truestead Law. For matters that go into litigation, we associate experienced Florida trial counsel as co-counsel and stay responsible for your case alongside them. You are always told in writing who is working on your matter, and associating co-counsel never increases your total fee. There is no attorney's fee unless we recover; if there is no recovery, you owe no attorney's fee (clients may be responsible for costs, explained in writing before you sign).
After Your Destin Case Resolves
Most injury firms hand you a check and say goodbye. Because Truestead is also a Florida estate, real estate, and elder law firm, we can help you protect what you recover — so a Destin settlement isn't lost to taxes, probate, or a hasty decision, and we can handle the deed work if you put it into a home. One relationship, for the whole of life.
Destin Personal Injury FAQs
What does it cost to hire a Destin personal injury lawyer?
Nothing up front. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee — there is no attorney's fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney's fee. As in any case, clients may be responsible for costs, and all fee and cost terms are explained in writing before you sign.
How long do I have to file an injury claim in Destin?
Florida generally allows a limited time to bring a negligence claim — for many cases, two years from the date of the injury — but deadlines vary by the type of case and the facts, and some are shorter. Because missing a deadline can end a claim entirely, Destin accident victims should speak with a lawyer as soon as possible.
What kinds of Destin injury cases do you handle?
We help Destin and Okaloosa County clients with car, truck, motorcycle, and rideshare crashes, boating accidents, slip-and-fall and premises injuries, nursing-home neglect, and wrongful death. If your matter calls for litigation, we associate experienced Florida trial counsel as co-counsel and remain responsible for your case.
The insurance company already contacted me — what should I do?
Be careful. Adjusters are trained to settle Destin claims quickly and inexpensively, and a recorded statement can be used against you. You are not required to give one. Talk to us before you sign anything or give a statement — the consultation is free.
Can I handle my Destin injury case remotely?
Yes. We work with Destin clients by phone and video and can begin a free case review without an office visit, with in-person meetings available in the Daytona Beach area.
