With over 25 years of experience, Shapiro Law Firm, P.A. has recovered more than $50 million for wrongfully injured people by standing up to insurance companies and fighting for full, fair, and just compensation. When you need a dedicated advocate, we have the knowledge, resources, and commitment to deliver results.
Let Us Fight Your Fight
We're Committed To The Pursuit Of Justice
An unexpected injury can result in:
- Exorbitant medical expenses
- Lost wages
- And can cause strain on both you and your loved ones
Our Tallahassee personal injury attorney believes that those wrongfully injured should not be required to pay for the damages and injuries brought on by another’s careless actions.
At Shapiro Law Firm, P.A., our Tallahassee personal injury attorney will fight for your rights and work to ensure that you are fairly compensated for your injuries.
We have extensive experience with insurance companies and are deeply familiar with the tactics used to sway injured people toward settling for less than is deserved.
When you are dealing with serious injuries, it can be overwhelming to juggle medical appointments, calls from adjusters, and concerns about how you will support your family. By working with an injury attorney, you gain an advocate who can gather evidence, communicate with the insurance company, and build a strong claim while you focus on healing. Our team understands how stressful it can be to manage treatment at local facilities such as Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare or Capital Regional Medical Center, and we work to ease that burden by handling the legal details for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Most negligence cases must be filed within two years from the date of injury, but exceptions can apply. Speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What if I am partially at fault for the accident?
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are 50 percent or less at fault, your compensation is reduced by your share of fault. If you are more than 50 percent at fault, you may be barred from recovery.
How do contingency fees work?
You pay no attorney’s fee unless there is a recovery. Case costs may be deducted from a settlement or verdict according to your fee agreement, which your attorney will explain up front.
Should I talk to the insurance company or give a recorded statement?
Not before consulting a lawyer. Adjusters are trained to minimize payouts and may use your words against you. Let your attorney handle communications.
What compensation can I pursue?
Depending on the case, damages may include medical bills, future treatment, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, and pain and suffering. Serious injuries may also involve scarring, disability, or loss of enjoyment of life.
What evidence will help my case?
Photos and video of the scene, incident or crash reports, witness names, medical records, bills, and proof of lost income. Keep all documents and avoid posting about the incident on social media.
How long will my case take?
Timelines vary with injury severity, treatment length, liability disputes, and insurance limits. Many cases resolve in settlement, but your lawyer should prepare as if a trial is possible to maximize leverage.
I became a personal injury attorney because I wanted to help people. What we do here is really about you – it's about your injuries… your rights… and it's about fairness and justice for you.
