Why this guide is essential for accident victims

Written by Mitchell J. Panter, a Florida Bar Board Certified Civil Trial Lawyer with over 30 years of experience representing accident victims throughout Florida. This is not generic legal information – every page contains Florida-specific guidance based on real cases and actual results.

Do not make costly mistakes

Most individuals do not realize that the actions taken immediately after an accident can determine whether a claim succeeds or fails. Insurance companies count on individuals not knowing their rights, and they use this lack of knowledge to deny claims or offer unfairly low settlements.

Protect rights from day one

This comprehensive 41-page guide arms individuals with the knowledge needed to protect their interests from the moment an accident occurs. The information contained within could be worth thousands of dollars in additional compensation.

Florida-specific legal guidance

Florida has unique laws that affect personal injury cases, including comparative negligence rules and specific deadlines that can permanently bar claims. This guide focuses exclusively on Florida law and provides the state-specific information individuals need.

  • How Much Do Your Charge For Your Services?

    No recovery, no fees.

    We believe that everyone, regardless of their financial status, should have access to sound legal counsel as they exercise their right to pursue justice and redress any harm or wrongdoing.

    At Panter, Panter & Sampedro, all our services are offered on a “contingency fee” basis, which means that any payment to the firm completely depends on whether our efforts result in a financial recovery for our client.

    Any lawyer’s fees for representing the client will be deducted from the final personal injury settlement in the client’s case or from the damages awarded after a favorable verdict, in the event that the client’s case goes to trial.

    In general, attorneys can receive up to one-third of the gross amount of a pre-suit settlement or 40% of the gross settlement recovery once a Defendant files an answer to a lawsuit. These rules are regulated by the Florida Bar, and the following summarizes our contingency fee policy:

    • Client enters into an agreement granting legal authority to the firm to represent the client in exchange for attorneys fees paid in the form of a percentage of the total recovery.
    • The firm assumes all up-front financial costs and risk associated with litigating the case. All of these expenses are paid by the firm, and are only repaid if a recovery is won.
    • The client pays no fees whatsoever, hourly or otherwise.
    • The firm’s contingency fee percentage varies based on the type of case, level of complexity, and the foreseeable resources required to litigate it properly.
    • Every case is unique, but the contingency fee percentage is always clearly agreed upon by both parties and documented in writing upon retaining our services.

  • Who Can Tell Me If I Have A Legitimate Case?

    We can. Call 305-662-6178 or submit a request for your FREE CONSULTATION to speak directly with one of our knowledgeable personal injury lawyers. We will review your case at no charge. To learn more about personal injury, please read below.

    Personal injury law, also known as tort law, is designed to protect you if you or your property is injured or harmed because of someone else’s act or failure to act. In a successful tort action, the one who caused the injury or harm compensates the one who suffered the losses.

    Every tort claim, regardless of its basis, whether intentional, negligence, or strict liability, has two basic issues—liability and damages. Was the defendant liable for the damages you sustained, and, if so, what is the nature and extent of your damages? If you can prove liability and damages, our system of justice will award you compensation for your loss.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Reviews & Testimonials

I am a senior and for most of my life I did not like personal injury attorneys…UNTIL we went to Panter, Panter & Sampedro. We went to them through a recommendation. We have never been more pleased. The entire staff could not have been, not only extremely professional but friendly, helpful and knowledgable. I honestly couldn’t wait to write this review. They are the best.

Pat Rivera

This is one law firm that literally ‘fights’ for its clients to ensure the best possible outcome for your case. What I loved most was the fact that their priority wasn’t just getting me the best financial settlement, but ensuring my welfare and full health rehabilitation was paramount.

Sope Aluko

My case was settled after I was injured in a car accident. What a great group of people and well-organized office. I initially met with Mitch Panter who described the process, which went very smoothly. My settlement was beyond my expectations.

Dale Glasco

Great firm. They really care about their clients and always try to obtain the best results, sometimes under almost impossible circumstances. They truly have their client’s best interests at heart and do their best to explain every step of your case. Highly recommended.
