Personal Injury Attorneys in Niceville, FL
Injured in An Accident and Need Strong Legal Representation
If you or a family member are the victim of someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to receive compensation for the injuries you sustained. At Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA, we have 30 years of experience representing 1000’s of injured victims receiving millions of dollars in compensation. We represent injured victims involved in all types of personal injury cases including pedestrian, auto accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice mistakes, workers’ compensation claims, bicycle accidents, slip and falls, nursing home abuse and premise and product liability cases.
Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner is a very different type of personal injury law firm because we have extensive trial experience having handled 100’s of cases in court before a judge and/or jury. The reality is that in most accident claims, insurance companies what to settle out of court to reduce their costs and financial exposure. That is why it takes a strong, experienced legal advocate on your side that will not settle for less than your case is worth. It takes knowledge and experience to put a value on what a personal injury case is worth and what victims are entitled to receive for damages including current and future medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and possibly other additional compensations.
Insurance companies are the primary payers of injury claims, which is the reason we carry insurance protection. But less than 5% of all personal injury claims go to court. This means roughly 95% of all injury cases settle out of court. Insurance companies often make limited settlement offers to injured victims and their families hoping they will accept the offer, even if the case is worth much more.
Our aggressive personal injury attorneys never negotiate from a point of weakness. If the insurance offer is not fair and equitable to compensate a client for their injuries, we reject the offer. When we are unable to secure the right amount of compensation for your injuries, we are not shy about filing in court and letting a judge and jury decide what financial recovery is fair. If you have been injured in an accident you want a tough negotiator like Whibbs Stone Barnett Turner, PA on your side
Our adversaries know we are prepared to take our injury cases to the limit to receive a fair offer. When we can’t come to an agreement, we threaten court. This makes it very difficult for insurance companies to submit less than fair settlement offers knowing they will incur the costly expense of defending their actions in court.
