We know you have options when hiring a personal injury attorney in Clearwater, Florida. Consider that the success of your claim relies heavily on the attorney you ultimately select.

You are not just a number to us.

How to Navigate a Personal Injury Case in Clearwater
If you have been involved in an accident in Clearwater, you need to understand the elements that go into bringing a potential case for negligence. When building a prima facie case, the plaintiff must prove the four elements of duty, breach, causation, and harm in order to make a claim for compensation. Duty is a threshold matter that must be proven to proceed with your claim. Trust our experienced attorneys to build you a sound case in order to pursue the compensation you deserve.
Florida is a no-fault state, meaning that drivers can file claims with their own insurance companies through a personal injury protection (PIP) claim to cover a certain amount of their medical bills. In order to do this, they must seek treatment for their injuries within 14 days of the accident. At Carey Leisure Carney we understand how stressful this time can be and are happy to help you every step of the way, from finding appropriate medical care immediately after your accident all the way through trial.
