Personal Injury
You focus on getting better. We'll handle the rest.
When someone else's negligence leaves you injured, we help you recover what you've lost. From your first call, you work directly with an attorney, not a call center. Your consultation is free, and you only pay if we recover for you.
What We Handle
Personal injury covers the harm that follows when someone else is careless or negligent. We handle wrongful death, premises liability and slip and fall, medical malpractice, and other serious injury claims across Gainesville and Alachua County.
Depending on your case, recovery can include medical bills, lost wages, and compensation for pain and suffering. We handle the investigation and deal with the insurance company so that you can focus on healing.
Why Clients Hire Us After an Injury
You'll work directly with an attorney, not a case manager or a call center. Nick Zissimopulos personally handles injury cases from the first call, and he checks in with you regularly, so you always know where your case stands.
These cases often turn on insurance coverage, and part of our job is finding every source that applies, including the uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage many people don't realize they carry. With decades of experience in Gainesville and Alachua County courts, we know how to build a claim and when to push.
No Fee Unless We Recover
You pay nothing up front. We only get paid if we recover for you, through a settlement or an award.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a personal injury case?
A personal injury case is one where someone else's negligence caused you harm, such as a fall on unsafe property, a preventable medical error, or a serious accident, and the law lets you seek compensation. If you were hurt because someone else failed to act reasonably, you may have a claim.
How much is a personal injury claim worth?
It depends on the specifics: how serious your injuries are, your medical costs, time missed from work, and the long-term effect on your life. No honest lawyer can promise a number up front, but we can look at your situation and give you a realistic sense of what's involved. The consultation is free.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
In most cases, Florida gives you two years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. That deadline changed in 2023; it used to be four, so older information online may be out of date. Some situations differ, so it's worth confirming yours early.
What does a personal injury lawyer cost?
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee. You pay nothing up front, and we only get paid if we recover for you. Your first consultation is always free.
What Our Clients Say
When I was rear-ended, I was terrified of what would happen and of how the insurance company would treat me. Not only did I get guidance, I got understanding, compassion, and knowledge. The team that Dan and Nick employ have always fought for me as if I were part of their own family.
I highly recommend John Kelly of Glassman & Zissimopulos for his exceptional legal expertise and compassionate approach. He combines a sharp, astute understanding of the law with a genuine care for clients.
Testimonials reflect the experience of individual clients. Results depend on the specific facts of each case and do not guarantee a similar outcome.
