Why Should I Hire Meirowitz & Wasserberg for My Car Accident Case in Naples?
We have more than 15 years of experience standing up to insurance companies on behalf of clients injured in car accidents caused by other people’s negligence. We refuse to accept fast, lowball settlement offers when we know you deserve more. When you have our attorneys working for you, you will receive personalized attention and compassionate support from dedicated professionals who truly care about you and the outcome of your case.
We treat our clients like family. Our dedicated car accident attorneys in Naples will get to know you and your story so we can fully understand the impact of the accident on your life. This will enable us to compellingly present your case in a way that will show a jury that you deserve a substantial award.
Our attorneys are experienced trial lawyers with a proven track record of securing life-changing verdicts and settlements for our clients. Our success in the courtroom has earned us a reputation that motivates insurance companies to settle for the compensation our clients deserve. Why? Because they know we have the skills, experience, and resources needed to take them on in court.
Case Results and Settlements
We win because we are willing to push back hard against insurance companies to get full and fair compensation. We conduct thorough investigations of every accident and every defendant to identify all sources of compensation. Our thorough approach and determination to make our clients whole allows us to consistently recover high-value settlements and verdicts:
- $1,175,000 – Our 60-year-old client was involved in a three-car rear-end chain collision. She suffered injuries requiring emergency surgery that left her temporarily paralyzed. The defendant claimed to have only $25,000 in insurance coverage, but our firm discovered a higher-value policy.
- $700,000 – Our 41-year-old client was a passenger in a one-car accident in which the driver was speeding and lost control. She sustained fractures to her foot, thumb, and ribs. We negotiated with the defendant all the way to the eve of trial. They ultimately decided to settle rather than face a jury.
- $790,000 – We represented a client who was involved in a three-car collision caused when a commercial vehicle hit another car, which ultimately collided with our client. She suffered injuries to her spine that required fusion surgery.
- $305,000 – We secured this settlement for a client who suffered a bulging disc that required minimally invasive surgery after she was hit by a driver who ran a stop sign.
How Can the Car Accident Attorneys at Meirowitz & Wasserberg Help?
When you come to us after you or your loved one has been injured in a car accident, we will promptly initiate a thorough investigation of your crash and resulting damages.
The Accident Investigation
We often work with world-class accident reconstructionists, forensic specialists, and other experts to piece together what happened in the accidents we handle. We do all of the work of gathering evidence to prove who is responsible, including:
- Interviewing witnesses
- Looking for camera footage of the accident
- Visiting the site
- Analyzing the wreckage
- Researching product safety recalls
- Investigating the history of all vehicles involved
Our investigation will allow us to identify mistakes by other drivers, mechanical defects in the vehicles, road conditions that contributed to the crash, and more. This helps us identify all of the parties who owe you compensation, such as other drivers, vehicle part manufacturers, government entities, trucking companies, vehicle owners, employers, and others.
Our attorneys will work methodically to build a strong case against each defendant. We will also investigate their assets, income, and insurance policies to ensure you recover full and fair compensation for your damages.
Investigating Your Damages
We will consider the full impact of your injuries when calculating the amount of compensation to pursue in your lawsuit. We understand that the loss of the simple things in life can be devastating:
- Being unable to enjoy a walk in the park
- Inability to play with your children or grandchildren
- The loss of a career you loved, even if you can still perform other work
- Living with chronic pain
- New disabilities when you were previously able-bodied
- Having to endure surgery
- Strangers caring for your personal needs
- The emotional trauma of an accident
- Being unable to easily get out of bed in the morning
- Loss of your social life, hobbies, and ability to enjoy life
While no sum of money can truly make up for these losses, you deserve justice and accountability from the careless parties who took so much from you. We are here to help you down the path toward meaningful compensation.
We will retrieve your medical records and work with medical experts, life care planners, accountants, economists, vocational experts, and therapists to evaluate your injuries and losses. Our collaboration with experts can give us a more complete picture of the lifetime impact of your injuries on your finances and quality of life.
Your Insurance Claims and Lawsuit
Florida is a no-fault insurance state that only allows you to file an insurance claim against the other driver if your injuries legally qualify as “serious.” We can determine whether your injuries meet this threshold. We will then make a written demand for full compensation based on our calculations of your damages.
If the liable parties refuse to pay the full amount, we can pursue compensation by taking your case to court. Our Naples car accident attorneys have what it takes to skillfully negotiate the settlement you deserve and, if necessary, fight for you in front of a judge or jury.

No Fees Unless We Win
We operate on a contingency fee basis, which means we charge no upfront fees, and you only pay if we win. We will invest our own money to cover filing fees, the cost of investigating your accident, and other expenses needed to build a strong case.
Our final fee will be calculated as a percentage of the compensation we secure on your behalf. If we don’t win, you pay nothing.
What Evidence Is Needed To Prove a Naples Car Accident Case?
The legal burden is on you to prove that the defendant is at fault for the accident. Therefore, you will need strong evidence to prove how the accident happened and that the defendants were responsible. You will also need evidence to prove the extent of your injuries. Important evidence in a car accident claim may include things like:
- Eyewitness testimony
- Expert witness testimony
- Photos of skid marks and road conditions
- Photos of the wreckage
- Video footage of the accident
- Forensic reports
- Mechanical reports
- Safety recall records
- Medical records
- Medical bills
- The testimony of friends and family
When you schedule your free consultation, bring any evidence that you have already gathered with you. If you have not been able to gather evidence, don’t let this stop you from contacting us. We are ready to do the leg work for you while you focus on your recovery.
How Long Do I Have To File a Car Accident Claim in Naples?
The Florida car accident statute of limitations is generally two years from the date of injury or death. Though limited exceptions may apply, you should not wait to contact a reputable car accident attorney in Naples after a crash.
The evidence needed to support your claim may only be available for a short time, and your attorney will need time to build a strong case before it can be filed. If you miss the correct filing deadline, your case will be dismissed.
What Compensation Is Available in a Naples Car Accident Case?
The amount of compensation you secure will depend heavily on the extent and severity of your injuries and losses. Compensable damages available through a Naples car accident claim include:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Future medical expenses
- Lost future earning capacity
- The cost of domestic services you can no longer perform yourself
- Pain and suffering
- Mental anguish
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Loss of bodily functions
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Loss of society
- Loss of consortium
In cases where the at-fault driver caused the accident through deliberate or grossly negligent conduct, you may also be able to recover punitive damages. Unlike compensatory damages, punitive damages are intended to punish defendants and deter similar misconduct in the future.
Can I Recover Compensation If My Loved One Died in a Car Accident?
Yes. If your loved one died in a car accident, you may be eligible to recover damages through a wrongful death lawsuit. Compensable damages may include your loved one’s medical expenses and funeral costs. You may also be entitled to recover the lifetime income your loved one likely would have earned if not for the accident.
Further, you may be eligible to recover non-economic damages, such as your loved one’s suffering and your family’s loss of companionship, guidance, comfort, love, and affection. Punitive damages may also be available in cases involving serious misconduct on the part of the defendant.
