Proudly Advocating For Navarre Car Accident Victims Since 2011
At Michael E. Fenimore, P.A., we focus solely on personal injury cases. This includes auto accidents, trucking accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, wrongful death, brain injuries, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect, product defects, and more.
Our firm understands that a personal injury can negatively impact your quality of life and entire future.
The legal issues that come with these cases often add extra stress and anxiety for accident victims. As your legal representative, we will vigorously advocate for you and ensure your experience with the legal process is smooth and free from unnecessary stress.
In these tough times, you need dependable legal counsel and representation. Time is crucial.
When car accidents happen, someone is usually at fault. If you were injured through no fault of your own, the other driver involved might be responsible. Under Florida law, you are entitled to compensation, but proving fault can be challenging. You need to gather and present evidence to show that the other driver was responsible for your injuries. Even though Florida is a no-fault state, you must still convince your insurer that you were not at fault. Michael E. Fenimore, a diligent Navarre car accident lawyer, can help you piece together the events of the accident to determine fault. As a former insurance company defense counsel, he knows the tactics insurance companies use and what they look for in settling claims. He can use this knowledge to work on your behalf.

A small firm dedicated to giving each case our full attention
What is fault, and how do you establish it in a car accident claim?
In legal terms, fault means being responsible for causing harm, usually through recklessness or negligence. In a personal injury lawsuit, which includes car accident claims, you need to prove that the defendant was at fault.
We are just a phone call away from assisting you with all these details.
Sometimes, more than one person might be at fault. You could have contributed to the fault, or a third party might be involved. For example, a car owner who lets a drunk or unqualified person drive may also be held responsible. In personal injury cases, fault is usually proven through the facts and evidence of each case. Our experienced Navarre car accident lawyers can conduct a thorough investigation to gather the facts and evidence needed to support your case in court.
How can I obtain fair compensation for the injuries I’ve suffered?
Recovering fair compensation may involve gathering evidence, taking depositions from parties and witnesses, and consulting with forensic or medical experts. Call us at (850) 434-6064 to discuss your case. We can help you determine the best course of action and provide dedicated representation on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any fees unless we secure a recovery for you.
In cases where fault is shared, Florida follows a pure comparative negligence rule. This means your compensation will be reduced by the percentage of fault you are found to have in the accident.
Most people would say you need to file a lawsuit, but in practice, some wrongdoers are judgment-proof because they’re insured for car crashes. It can also be difficult to enforce court judgments against people with inadequate insurance coverage. Instead, you might recover fair compensation through the responsible party’s insurance. If that doesn’t work, you can still consider filing a lawsuit.
What does the Comparative Negligence rule in Florida involve?
In some cases, the defendant might claim that you are partly responsible for your injuries. If you are found to share some of the fault, it could impact the amount of compensation you can recover.
