At Zoeller Law, we have multiple board-certified civil trial attorneys, a certification that fewer than five percent of Florida lawyers have achieved. Our attorneys have recovered millions of dollars in settlements and jury awards on behalf of clients injured in numerous types of cases, including a $40 million mass tort recovery, a $20 million verdict in a defective products case, and a $17.1 million judgment in a sexual assault case. When insurance companies and defense attorneys see our names on a case file, they understand we are willing to go to trial.
We believe every client should have direct access to his/her attorney, not just a case number and a paralegal callback. At Zoeller Law, you will be working directly with experienced attorneys who will communicate with you throughout the entire process; provide you with regular updates; answer your questions; and aggressively advocate on your behalf. Our attorneys are available to you 24/7, 365 days per year, and we also offer bilingual services (English/Spanish/Haitian Creole) to assist those whose language is a barrier to seeking justice.
As a West Palm Beach/Palm Beach County-based law firm, Zoeller Law has developed a strong local reputation that extends far beyond the confines of our office. We are respected by local courts; trusted by our clients; and often referred by other attorneys who know we can successfully handle their most difficult cases. Our community involvement and peer recognition demonstrate that Zoeller Law does not simply practice law in this area; we live and work in this community, alongside you.
Accidents can happen in an instant—on the road, in a store, at work, or even in a hospital. Whether it’s a car crash, a slip and fall, or a case of medical malpractice, these traumatic events can leave you physically, emotionally, and financially overwhelmed. In addition to the pain and suffering, many victims are left facing steep medical bills, time away from work, and life-altering expenses they never anticipated.At Zoeller Law, we understand how devastating this can be—and we’re here to help. If your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence, our experienced Florida personal injury attorneys can fight for the compensation you deserve, so you can focus on healing and moving forward.
There are many reasons why people suffer from personal injuries each year in Florida, in stores, at construction sites, in vehicle accidents, and while engaged in recreational activities. In fact, Florida roads alone experience approximately 200,000 injury-related vehicle accidents and 3,500 motor vehicle-related deaths each year. Regardless of how your injury occurred, if it was caused by someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Your referral will lead to our relentless pursuit of justice.
The actions you take in the first few days after an accident can greatly influence the success of your injury claim. Here are the recommended actions:
Take photographs of the accident location, your injuries, and any damaged property. Collect the contact information of any witnesses and preserve any physical evidence that supports your claim.
Even though you may think you said something minor, an admission of fault can be used by an insurance company to reduce or eliminate your potential recovery.
Insurance companies are always looking for ways to minimize payouts. As soon as you hire an attorney, he/she will communicate on your behalf with the at-fault party’s insurance company and prevent them from taking advantage of you.
Most personal injury claims in Florida must be brought within two years of the date of the injury-causing accident. If you fail to comply with the statute of limitations, you may lose your ability to recover compensation forever. There are limited exceptions (i.e., minors, government entities) where the statute of limitations may differ. Don’t delay, seek guidance regarding your options today.
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence standard. If you are deemed to be partly at fault for your accident, your recovery will be proportionally reduced by the amount of fault assigned to you. However, if you are determined to be more than 50% at fault, you will be precluded from recovering damages altogether. That is why it is essential to retain experienced counsel who can effectively challenge any unfounded allegations of fault.
Successful personal injury claims allow for the recovery of compensatory damages, which are divided into economic damages and non-economic damages.
Examples of economic damages include your past and future medical costs; wage losses, loss of earning capacity; and the cost of future treatment, therapy, or other expenses associated with your injury.
Examples of non-economic damages include your pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the loss of quality of life as a result of a permanent disability or disfigurement.
In very rare instances of gross misconduct or intent, Florida courts will award punitive damages to punish the defendant and deter others from similar conduct.
When a family member dies as a result of someone else’s negligence, Florida law provides for a wrongful death claim to be made by surviving family members (spouses, children, and/or parents). Surviving family members may be able to recover various types of damages, including funeral costs; lost financial support; the loss of society and companionship, and mental anguish.
While every case is unique, most personal injury claims follow a similar process. Here is what you may expect when you retain Zoeller Law:
Our attorneys will provide you with a truthful assessment of whether you have a valid claim and what we believe your claim is worth.
Evidence Collection and Investigation: Once we determine that you have a valid claim, our attorneys will immediately begin collecting and documenting evidence — obtaining police reports, medical records, witness statements, video evidence, expert opinions, and other forms of evidence that support your claim.
Filing an Insurance Claim/Lawsuit: We Will File All Communications and Papers On Your Behalf, Including Any Demands To The At-Fault Party’s Insurance Company, Or Filing A Formal Complaint If Necessary.
Negotiations/Mediation: Most personal injury claims are resolved without having to go to court. Our attorneys are skilled negotiators who will negotiate on your behalf to obtain the best possible recovery for you.
Trial: If the at-fault party’s insurance company fails to offer a reasonable settlement, we will take your case to trial. Our board-certified trial attorneys are highly experienced and effective courtroom advocates.
Appeals: If the decision rendered by a judge/jury is appealed, Zoeller Law has the knowledge and resources to pursue your appeal and protect your entitlement to the compensation you have earned.
During every phase of your case, we will manage the paperwork, communication, and litigation strategy, so you can focus on getting better and returning to your normal life.
Zoeller Law serves as counsel for injured plaintiffs across a wide variety of practice areas. Click on any area of practice listed below to view information about that type of case.
We represent individuals injured in car and truck accidents. This includes rear-end collisions and rollover accidents, as well as multi-vehicle pileup accidents and commercial truck accidents.
Motorcycle and Bicycle AccidentsDue to the increased exposure of riders and cyclists to hazards on the road, motorcycle and bicycle accidents result in higher levels of injury compared to car accidents. As such, we seek to obtain maximum compensation for injuries sustained in motorcycle and bicycle accidents, including but not limited to traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, road rash, and catastrophic loss of function.
If you were injured as a result of a fall in a store, hotel, parking lot, etc., or as a result of some other condition on someone else’s property, we can assist you in holding the owner liable for their failure to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe manner.
When health care providers fail to meet their duty of care to their patients, the consequences of that failure can be severe. Examples of medical malpractice include, but are not limited to, misdiagnosing a patient’s condition, performing surgery on the wrong patient or body part, failing to properly treat a patient during delivery resulting in birth injuries to the infant, administering incorrect medication to a patient, or improperly using anesthesia.
Thousands of people are injured annually by defective products and harmful prescription medications. We bring lawsuits against product manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers on behalf of injured consumers.
Boating and aviation accidents involve a different set of laws and regulations and, therefore, require specific knowledge and expertise to successfully litigate these types of cases. We have experience representing boating and aviation accident victims.
Seniors who are placed in nursing homes should be able to expect that they will receive safe and dignified treatment. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. We represent seniors who have suffered from elder abuse or neglect while residing in a nursing home.
The wrongful death statute allows the estate of a decedent to pursue damages against a defendant whose actions resulted in the decedent’s death. These claims are typically pursued by the decedent’s surviving spouse, children, and/or parents.
The amount of money that you can expect to recover in a personal injury case varies widely depending on a number of factors, including:
One of the most common errors made by injury victims is to accept the first settlement offer from the insurance carrier. Insurance carriers frequently make early, lowball offers to encourage settlement before the victim understands the full extent of his/her injuries and/or losses. Before signing any agreement, contact a Zoeller Law attorney to discuss your case. We will carefully review your case and aggressively pursue all avenues to recover the full measure of your losses, not just what the insurance carrier wants to pay.

Refer Your CaseOur results speak for themselves. A select list of recent case results includes:
Please note that prior results do not predict or guarantee similar results in a subsequent case. Each case is reviewed separately and based upon its individual merits and facts.
Typically, you have two years from the date of the incident where you were injured to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. Failure to file your claim in a timely manner will result in your losing the right to compensation. There are exceptions to the general rule of two years – for example, if your claim involves a governmental entity or if you did not discover the nature and extent of your injury until after the two-year period has expired – please consult with us as soon as possible to preserve your rights.
Yes, under Florida’s Modified Comparative Fault Statute, if you are partially responsible for causing the accident, you can still recover damages for your injuries – provided you were not more than 50% at fault. The amount of your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Therefore, an attorney experienced in handling personal injury cases can assist you in defending any allegations of comparative negligence by the other party in order to maximize your recovery.
Unfortunately, there is no standard answer to how long a personal injury case will take to resolve. Simple cases that settle quickly could potentially be resolved in a matter of weeks. More complex cases, however, which involve serious injuries, disputed issues of liability, or an insurer that is unwilling to make a reasonable settlement offer, could take anywhere from six months to two years or longer to resolve – and possibly even longer if litigation becomes necessary. We will keep you informed of the status of your case and work to resolve your case as quickly as possible without compromising the value of your claim.
No, you will not pay any attorney fees unless we obtain a recovery on your behalf. Zoeller Law operates on a contingency fee basis, which means that we do not charge a fee for our services unless and until we recover damages for you. Our contingency fee is a percentage of the total amount of damages recovered for you, so there is no financial risk in contacting us to discuss your potential claim. Additionally, we will absorb the costs associated with investigating and litigating your case during the pendency of your claim.
While many personal injury cases settle through negotiations and never proceed to trial, we are prepared to try your case if the insurance company fails to make a reasonable settlement offer. Our board-certified trial attorneys have extensive experience and preparation to present your case effectively in the courtroom.
