Our Awards
Types of Cases Our Crestview Personal Injury Attorneys Handle
Car accidents are a leading cause of injury in Florida. From fender benders to high-speed collisions, our Crestview car accident attorneys have experience handling all types of accident claims. We will put all of our efforts toward recovering your losses, whether the driver who injured you was intoxicated, speeding, reckless, or simply careless.
Because of the sheer size and weight of commercial trucks, a collision can seriously injure the occupants of cars and smaller trucks. Accident victims who bring claims against commercial trucking companies can feel overpowered. Our Crestview truck accident lawyers have the experience and resources needed to take on these companies and their insurance carriers, fighting for full compensation for victims of truck accidents.
Insurance companies and juries often hold biases against injured motorcyclists, even when a negligent driver is clearly at fault. Our skilled Crestview personal injury lawyers know this and account for it from the first day of the investigation through the last round of negotiations. On Florida Panhandle roads, where riders face real exposure every time they go out, you deserve attorneys who will fight that bias directly.
Pedestrians are at serious risk of injury when drivers are negligent. If you are a pedestrian who has been hit by a car or other vehicle, our Crestview attorneys can help you seek compensation for your injuries.
As the popularity of cycling increases in the Florida Panhandle, so do bicycle accidents. If you are injured in a bicycle accident caused by a negligent driver, our Crestview attorneys will fight to protect your rights.
In Florida, dog owners are held strictly liable for any injuries their dog causes, regardless of the animal's past behavior, and our Crestview dog bite attorneys know how to fight back against insurers that try to shift blame onto the victim.
If a negligent healthcare provider has harmed you, you deserve more than a settlement that barely covers your bills. With a physician on our staff, we review your records to identify exactly where the standard of care was breached before we ever approach an insurer. That medical foundation strengthens every negotiation and every argument at trial. If malpractice occurred, our Crestview medical malpractice lawyers will pursue the full extent of what you are owed.
A disability that prevents you from working is serious enough on its own. The Social Security Administration's approval process should not compound that burden, but for many applicants it does. Our SSDI lawyers know the SSA's evidentiary requirements, know where claims most often stall or get denied, and will build the strongest possible record on your behalf so you can focus on your health, not your paperwork.
The loss of a loved one caused by another person's negligence or recklessness leaves families facing grief and financial pressure at the same time. If someone you loved was killed in an accident in Crestview, our wrongful death attorneys will sit with you, walk through every legal option available, and pursue every avenue for compensation that Florida law allows. You should not have to handle this alone.
If you have been injured in a slip and fall, trip and fall, or due to negligent security on someone else's property, our Crestview premises liability lawyers are here to help. We will investigate the dangerous condition, establish the owner's negligence, and fight to secure the full compensation you deserve for your medical bills and lost wages.
A negligent care case arises when a hospital, clinic, or healthcare provider causes harm through substandard treatment, a missed diagnosis, or a failure to act when action was required. With a physician on our staff, our Crestview negligent care lawyers review your records directly, identify where the standard of care broke down, and build a case with the medical credibility these claims require.
You have the right to medical care and lost wage coverage, and those benefits should not depend on whether you filed the right form in the right window. Our workers' compensation attorneys will manage the paperwork, meet every deadline, and push back against insurers that try to deny or minimize what you are owed.
Traumatic brain injuries can have lasting physical, cognitive, and emotional consequences. If you or a loved one suffered a brain injury due to someone else’s negligence in Crestview, our attorneys can help pursue compensation for medical care, rehabilitation, lost income, and long-term support needs.
Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. When unsafe floors, poor lighting, or broken walkways cause a serious fall in Crestview, our attorneys help victims pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, and the lasting impact of their injuries.
Nursing home residents deserve safe and respectful care. If your loved one has suffered abuse, neglect, or inadequate supervision in a Crestview facility, our attorneys can help you pursue accountability and compensation for the harm caused.
Rideshare accident claims involve overlapping insurance policies and liability questions that standard car accident rules do not always resolve cleanly. When you have been injured in an accident involving Uber, Lyft, or a taxi driver, our attorneys will identify which coverage applies and which party bears responsibility. We will investigate to establish whether liability falls on the driver, the rideshare company, or another party, and pursue them for the full extent of your losses.

FAQs About Personal Injury Cases in Crestview, Florida
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer in Crestview?
Nothing upfront, and nothing owed if we do not win. Michles & Booth works on a contingency fee, meaning our payment comes as a percentage of whatever we recover for you, and if there is no recovery, there is no fee.
What types of damages can I recover in a Crestview personal injury case?
Florida personal injury damages fall into two categories: economic and non-economic. Economic damages cover measurable costs like medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages address intangible losses like pain and suffering. Florida has no cap on non-economic awards, making detailed documentation of your daily struggles as vital as medical receipts. Our Crestview attorneys meticulously record both to maximize your demand.
What if the insurance company denies my claim?
A denial is not the end of the road. Insurers deny claims for a range of reasons: disputed liability, alleged pre-existing conditions, missed paperwork deadlines, or a straightforward calculation that claimants will not push back. Our Crestview injury attorneys review the denial, identify the specific basis the insurer is using to refuse payment, and build the documented response the evidence supports.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Crestview, Florida?
Florida shortened the personal injury statute of limitations from four years to two years in March 2023, and courts apply this deadline without exception. Contact our Crestview personal injury lawyers as soon as possible after an accident so no deadlines are missed and no evidence is lost. The sooner you contact us, the better your chances of receiving the maximum compensation possible.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident in Crestview?
Florida's modified comparative negligence rule allows you to recover compensation as long as you were 50% or less at fault, though your award is reduced by your share of responsibility. Anyone found 51% or more at fault recovers nothing, which is why insurance companies routinely push fault percentages higher than the evidence supports. Our Crestview injury attorneys examine every piece of evidence to keep that number accurate.
