You Pay Nothing Upfront to Partner With Our Williston Collision Team
Meldon Law CARES about your car accident case. We strive to offer compassion, accountability, reliability, excellence, and success-driven results. As such, we offer our legal guidance on a contingency-fee basis. But what does this mean for you? It means:
- A percentage of your settlement pays for our help.
- You never pay anything upfront or out of pocket.
- You get this agreement in writing, so you know what to expect.
- Our Williston personal injury lawyers have a financial interest in winning your case.
Aside from offering help on contingency, we also finance various aspects of your case, from its initial filing to its consulting costs. With our resources, insight, and relationships with local officials, we’re confident that we can guide your case to a fair conclusion.
Our Williston Car Accident Lawyers Seek Financial Recovery for You
In the no-fault state of Florida, drivers must carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. If you are injured in a car accident, you generally first file a claim with your PIP insurance to get coverage for some of your medical bills and some of your lost wages.
PIP might not cover the full cost of your injury-related expenses if you suffered serious injuries in a collision. That’s where our team comes in. We evaluate your coverage options, then compile evidence to hold the other party financially accountable for your hardships.
We Seek Financial Recovery for Your Economic Losses
Your economic losses include your direct financial losses. We quantify these items using receipts, bills, and invoices. Our team may also consult with financial experts and medical professionals to gain further insight into what you can recover.
Economic damages may include but are not limited to:
- Medical expenses, including surgeries, treatment, and medications
- Handicap-accessible modifications to your home or vehicle
- Prosthetics
- Wheelchairs
- Lost wages during your recovery
- Loss of future earnings
- Property damage expenses
We can also include the cost of anything you spent out of pocket in your claim’s value. For instance, if you hired someone to look after your children during your recovery period, you can include those costs in your case’s value.
We Seek Full Compensation for Your Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages are losses that do not have a set dollar amount associated with them. Their values are subjective and primarily depend on the facts of your situation, including the severity of your condition and your estimated recovery period.
These damages comprise:
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional anguish
- Loss of quality of life
- Loss of consortium
Our Williston car crash lawyers identify all of your compensable losses. Careful accounting of your losses and gathering proof of negligence go toward building a strong case. We fight for every dollar you deserve.

We Assert That Negligence Led to Your Car Accident in Williston
To pursue compensation beyond PIP, we must establish liability, which our investigation helps us do. Then we must prove negligence. To do this, we must show that:
- The at-fault party had a “duty of care” when driving the car to act in such a way as to not hurt others (for instance, drive within the speed limit and obey all traffic laws).
- The at-fault party breached that duty by not acting as a reasonable person would (for instance, by driving over the speed limit or while impaired).
- You suffered injuries in an accident caused by the at-fault party’s breach of duty.
- You sustained losses as a result of the accident and your injuries.
If negotiations with the insurance company are not productive and a lawsuit seems the only viable option for recovering compensation, be aware that you have two years from the date of the accident to file your case. If you do not file by then, you can’t do so after the deadline. With this time-sensitive factor in mind, we encourage you to call us as soon as possible.
We Identify All Responsible Parties in Your Car Accident Case
To have a successful claim or lawsuit, our Williston lawyers must first identify the at-fault and liable parties. The at-fault party caused your accident, while the liable party pays for your losses. So, if a driver caused your accident, the liable party would be their insurance carrier.
Sometimes, more than one party can contribute to a single accident. These entities may include:
- The employer of the driver
- A car parts manufacturer
- A car’s manufacturer
- A car maintenance company
You don’t have to worry about juggling communications with your case’s involved parties. That’s our job. We offer such comprehensive help that you might even forget you have a case while you recover. We take care of every case-related detail.
Our Attorneys Get Results for Car Accident Claimants
Attorney Jeffrey Meldon established Meldon Law in 1971 with one goal in mind: serving injured people. For more than 50 years, we’ve recovered millions through settlements and judgments for our injured clients. Some of our most recent case results include:
- We can’t discuss the details of this one particular T-bone accident. However, what we can share is that we recovered $1.5 million for our client’s losses.
- Our client was lucky to be alive after a sportscar collided with his vehicle head-on. He required neck and back surgery. By consulting with life care planners and building a compelling case, we secured $500,000 through negotiations.
- Our client was violently rear-ended by an inattentive driver, suffering life-altering injuries. Before filing a lawsuit, the liable party extended a $450,000 offer, and we accepted.
Most car accident cases do not go to court. So, you might not have to worry about a civil trial, and even if we file a lawsuit, it’s nothing we can’t handle.
