“Accident Case”
Goldstein, Buckley, Cechman, Rice and Purtz, PA was the only law firm who would take our car accident case. Andrea Pleimling Smith was very thorough, explained everything in a very detailed fashion, and was easy to reach when questions arose. She kept us informed every step of the way. Without her, we would have suffered a severe financial loss due to an accident which was not our fault. Florida’s No Fault law is terrible and very unfair. Andrea and her team were very helpful in recouping all of the money we were required to spend!

Do you have questions about suing the city for a faulty sidewalk injury in Southwest Florida? After watching this video, call our lawyers to get started today.
Question:
Can I sue a city or county for my injuries from a sidewalk or curb?
Answer:
If you have a trip and fall case in a municipality, city, or county on a curb or on a sidewalk, then you absolutely have a case. In Florida, there is this law that property owners have to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition, and that includes any city, county or municipality. They do have sovereign immunity, meaning that there is a cap on the damages that you can recover of $200,000, and there’s a cap on the attorney fees of 25%, but our firm doesn’t shy away from those cases because of that. We still handle them regularly.
If you have one of these sorts of injuries, please feel free to reach out to our law firm. We handle these cases regularly and we’d be happy to talk to you about your case.
