Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Sarasota
Accidents throughout Sarasota County can lead to serious injuries and complicated legal questions. Insurance companies may dispute responsibility, minimize the extent of injuries, or attempt to resolve claims for less than they are worth. We represent clients in a variety of personal injury matters, including:
M-F 8am – 5:00pm
Auto Accident Claims
Car accidents are one of the most common causes of serious injuries in Florida. Whether your crash involved another driver’s negligence, disputed fault, or inadequate insurance coverage, our attorneys help you pursue compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages.
We also handle uninsured and underinsured motorist claims when the at-fault driver does not have enough insurance to cover your losses. These claims often involve disputes with your own insurance company and require careful attention to the details of your policy.
Slip and Fall and Premises Liability Claims
Property owners have a responsibility to maintain reasonably safe conditions for visitors. When unsafe conditions such as hazards in stores, parking lots, businesses, or other properties cause injuries, our premises liability attorneys investigate whether negligence contributed to the accident and work to hold the responsible party accountable.
Maritime Injury Claims
With Sarasota’s Gulf Coast location, boating and water-related activities are part of everyday life. Injuries that occur on boats, docks, marinas, or commercial waterways may fall under maritime law, which has different rules than traditional personal injury claims.
Our attorneys represent clients injured in boating accidents and other maritime-related incidents throughout the Sarasota area.
Catastrophic Injury and Wrongful Death Claims
Some accidents have consequences that last a lifetime. Serious injuries involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, or other catastrophic injuries require careful legal representation focused on both immediate losses and future needs.
When negligence results in the loss of a loved one, Nessler & Associates also represents families pursuing wrongful death claims. We help families understand their rights and hold responsible parties accountable.
Sarasota Hurricane and Insurance Claims
Florida homeowners and businesses know that storms can cause significant damage, but getting an insurance company to fully honor a policy is not always straightforward. Insurers may delay claims, dispute the cause of damage, or offer settlements that do not reflect the true cost of repairs.
We represent homeowners and commercial property owners throughout Florida in first-party insurance disputes involving:
Roof damage
From our Florida offices, we help policyholders challenge unfair claim decisions and pursue the benefits they’re entitled to under their insurance policies.
Sexual Abuse and Institutional Abuse Representation
Survivors of childhood sexual abuse, clergy abuse, and institutional abuse deserve compassionate and serious legal representation. We handle these cases throughout Florida, representing survivors harmed by individuals and organizations that failed to protect them. These cases require discretion, careful preparation, and an understanding of the challenges survivors may face when pursuing legal action.
Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect Cases
Families trust nursing homes and care facilities to provide a safe environment for their loved ones. When neglect, inadequate care, or mistreatment causes harm, Nessler & Associates helps families investigate what happened and understand their legal options. Our attorneys represent families dealing with nursing home abuse and nursing home negligence matters throughout Florida.
