Florida’s statute of limitations gives personal injury victims two years from the date of their injury to take legal action. If you are injured in Jacksonville or Duval County, you have exactly two years to file a claim. This is especially important in a large market like Jacksonville, where insurance companies often move fast to avoid paying what you deserve. Adjusters begin building their defense immediately after an accident, and the longer you wait to get an attorney involved the more ground you give them. Two years can feel like plenty of time until it isn’t. Contact Avera & Smith as soon as possible so we can protect your claim.

Jacksonville and Duval County residents come to Avera & Smith with a wide range of serious legal matters. Our personal injury practice covers car and truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, medical malpractice, workers’ compensation, wrongful death, and more. We also represent clients in criminal defense, business law, and estate matters. Jacksonville’s size means more accidents, more complex insurance disputes, and more situations where having a board-certified trial attorney in your corner makes a real difference. If you’re not sure whether your situation warrants legal action, a free consultation is the fastest way to find out.

Personal injury cases in Jacksonville can vary significantly in value depending on a number of factors, such as the severity and permanence of your injuries, total medical costs including future care, lost earning capacity, and the degree to which the accident has affected your quality of life. Jacksonville cases also frequently involve larger corporate defendants, major trucking companies, and well-resourced insurance carriers who fight hard to minimize payouts.

We understand what it takes to go up against well-funded opposition and pursue the full compensation you deserve. Call us for a free consultation to discuss what your case may be worth.

Avera & Smith works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and nothing out of pocket unless we win your case. Our fee comes as a percentage of the settlement or verdict we recover for you. There is no financial risk in reaching out, and your initial consultation is always free.
