Our personal injury law firm has a proven track record of securing victories for clients who have been wrongfully injured. We have the experience and resources to handle a wide range of complex cases, including.
A car turning left across your lane misjudges your speed or simply does not see you. The car driver is almost always at fault under both Florida and Texas right-of-way rules. We use traffic-cam footage and witness statements to nail down the timing.
A driver changes lanes without checking mirrors and clips you. Lane-change rules in both states require the driver to ensure the lane is clear before moving over. We pull dashcam footage when available and use accident reconstruction to show line of sight.
Distracted or following-too-close drivers rear-end stopped motorcycles at lights, in traffic, or at stop signs. These are usually clean-liability cases unless the rider stopped abruptly without cause.
When the at-fault driver was impaired, we pursue punitive damages on top of compensatory. Florida allows punitives up to 3x compensatory or \$500,000 (whichever is greater) under Fla. Stat. 768.73. Texas follows similar caps under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 41.008.
When the driver flees or carries no insurance, your own UM/UIM coverage becomes the primary recovery source. Most riders carry stacking-eligible UM/UIM and do not realize what they have. We layer the coverage to maximize the available pool.
Tire failure, brake defect, or the at-fault car's design defect (poor visibility, blind-spot failure) can support a product liability claim against the manufacturer. These cases run in parallel to the negligence claim against the driver.

The Personal Injury Attorney Laws in Florida have changed recently, and not knowing about them can put your case at risk. It is now more critical than ever to act quickly.
For most negligence and personal injury cases with an incident date on or after March 24, 2023, the statute of limitations has been slashed from four years down to only two years. If you miss this two-year deadline, you will lose your right to seek compensation forever.
Florida has also changed its rule for shared fault. The state now follows a modified comparative negligence system. This means if a court finds you are more than 50% responsible for your own accident, you are completely barred from recovering any money.
FL uniquely applies the dangerous instrumentality doctrine to vehicle owners, making them liable for damages caused by anyone operating their vehicle with permission, even if the owner wasn't present during the accident.
Texas has long-standing laws that directly impact the value and viability of your personal injury case. Understanding these rules is crucial.
In Texas, you must file a lawsuit within two years of the date you were injured. This is a strict deadline, and failing to meet it will prevent you from making a claim.
Texas also uses a modified comparative negligence rule. This means you can only recover damages if you are found to be 50% or less at fault for the incident. Your final recovery is then reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are awarded $100,000 but were found to be 20% at fault, your award is reduced by $20,000, and you would receive $80,000.
Texas has limited dram shop laws. Bars and restaurants can be held liable for serving obviously intoxicated persons who then cause injury, but only if the establishment violated specific statutory requirements. Social hosts generally aren't liable for injuries caused by guests they served alcohol, except in cases involving minors.
Financial stress shouldn't stop you from getting justice. We remove that barrier with our simple, risk-free promise. At United Law Group, we believe justice shouldn't depend on your ability to pay upfront legal fees.

Riders under 21 must wear a helmet at all times. Riders 21 and over can ride without a helmet if they carry at least \$10,000 in medical insurance coverage, under Fla. Stat. 316.211. Not wearing a helmet does not bar recovery, but defense can argue comparative negligence on head and neck injuries.
Florida motorcycle settlements typically range from \$15,000 for minor cases up to \$5 million+ for catastrophic injuries. Median for cases involving fractures and surgery falls in the \$150,000-\$400,000 range. Range depends on injury severity, liability clarity, and policy limits.
No. Lane splitting (riding between lanes of moving traffic) became explicitly illegal in Texas in September 2023 under House Bill 4122. Two motorcycles riding side-by-side in a single lane is legal under Tex. Transp. Code 545.060(c) and is not considered lane splitting.
It does not. Fla. Stat. 627.737 excludes motorcycles from the PIP coverage requirement. Florida motorcyclists must rely on health insurance, MedPay add-ons, or the at-fault driver's liability coverage to pay medical bills.
Yes. No-helmet does not bar recovery in Florida or Texas. It only goes to comparative negligence on head and neck injuries, and only if the helmet would have actually prevented or reduced the specific injury. For body injuries (fractures, ligament tears, internal injuries), helmet evidence is legally irrelevant.
Florida: 2 years from the crash date under Fla. Stat. 95.11(4)(a). Texas: 2 years under Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code 16.003. Wrongful death is also 2 years in both states.
Nothing upfront. Contingency fee: 33.33% pre-suit, 40% if we file lawsuit. Costs come from your share at settlement. No fee unless we win.
