Why Hire Us?

Don't Get Hit Twice

Let Us Fight for Your Right to a Fair Settlement.

If you have been injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, and expenses related to your recovery. This compensation can cover:

Unfortunately, you may face significant opposition in pursuing your claim, as insurance companies are for-profit businesses and often aim to reduce or deny claims like yours.

We Are Dedicated to Your Recovery

Don’t trust a billboard or a TV commercial to tell you what kind of lawyer you want to help you after an injury occurs. You deserve to have your case handled from start to finish by a lawyer you meet on your first visit. If you want personal, compassionate and aggressive representation – the husband and wife team at the Pittman Law Firm has dedicated the last 30 years to caring and servicing victims who have been wrongfully injured. Call us today for a free consultation.

About Pittman Law Firm

Put The Pittman Law Firm in Your Corner

There is much that an attorney can do on your behalf in pursuing compensation for your injuries:

Collecting any physical evidence of the accident
Obtaining testimony from witnesses to the accident including bystanders, medical personnel, or law enforcement officers
Consulting with specialists and experts who can provide information or testimony that may strengthen your case
Negotiating with insurance companies on your behalf in an attempt to secure the highest possible settlement figure
Taking the case to court for a jury trial in the event that the insurance company refuses to pay you the amount you deserve

While it is legally possible for you to do the above on your own, you must realize that the odds will be against you. The insurance adjusters and claims representatives assigned to your case spend all day, every day working to reduce the value of claims such as yours.

This may be the first time you have had to pursue a personal injury settlement and it is often hard to understand why insurance companies (even your own) have a duty to protect their interests. Why take chances with the outcome of your case and give yourself the stress and hassle of claiming damages at a time when you are already undergoing the stress of healing and getting your life back in order?

Strategic Edge Licensed FL 6-20 Insurance Adjuster

Local Focus Lee & Collier Counties Only

Fee Structure 100% Contingency. No Win, No Fee.

A serious accident on I-75, Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41), or any of our busy Lee and Collier County roads can turn your life upside down in seconds. As medical bills pile up, the physical pain sets in, and the insurance adjusters start calling, the last thing you need is to fight a ruthless corporate entity on your own.

We are a family-run legal team that has lived, worked, and successfully litigated in Southwest Florida for over 30 years. When you hire us, you are hiring a local powerhouse dedicated to the residents and visitors of Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, Estero, and Lehigh Acres.

Beyond the Courtroom

The Pittman Law Firm Difference

Winning a settlement is only part of the equation. We handle the heavy lifting across every aspect of your recovery so you can focus on healing.

Direct Attorney Access

At mega-firms, you are often passed off to investigators or paralegals, rarely speaking to the actual lawyer handling your case. With Pittman Law Firm, you have direct access to our core team. We return calls promptly and keep you empowered with regular updates.

Uncovering Hidden Sources of Recovery

We don't stop at the at-fault driver's basic auto policy. We meticulously investigate your crash to uncover hidden umbrella policies, corporate liability, defective vehicle parts, and third-party negligence so absolutely no money is left on the table.

The Financial Resources to Win

Taking on billion-dollar insurance companies and massive commercial trucking fleets requires serious financial backing. We have the capital to hire top-tier accident reconstructionists, medical specialists, and economic planners to build an undeniable, trial-ready case.

A Compassionate, Family-First Approach

Because we are a family-run firm, we understand that a severe injury doesn't just hurt the victim; it impacts the entire family. We handle every client with the dignity, compassion, and respect we would expect for our own loved ones.

Deep Florida Expertise

Deep Expertise in Florida Personal Injury Law

Florida's personal injury laws are notoriously complex and have recently undergone massive legislative overhauls. You cannot afford an attorney who is learning on the job.

Fla. Stat. § 95.11

The Florida Statute of Limitations

Florida recently shortened the statute of limitations for general negligence claims from four years to two years. We act immediately to ensure your rights are protected before this critical deadline expires and destroys your case.

Fla. Stat. § 768.81

Modified Comparative Negligence

Florida has shifted to a modified comparative negligence system. If an insurance company unfairly blames you for more than 50% of the accident, you are entirely barred from financial recovery. We fight back against corporate blame-shifting tactics.

UM / UIM Coverage

Unraveling Uninsured Motorist Claims

Florida is one of the only states that does not require drivers to carry Bodily Injury liability insurance. We identify "stacked" and "unstacked" UM coverage within your own policy so you are not left paying for someone else's negligence.

Fla. Stat. § 768.0755

Proving Constructive Knowledge in Premises Liability

Florida law makes slip-and-fall cases against major retailers difficult to win. We know how to prove a business had actual or constructive knowledge of a hazard by rapidly subpoenaing sweep logs, surveillance footage, and corporate safety records.

Fla. Stat. § 768.20

Navigating the Florida Wrongful Death Act

We have a profound understanding of Florida's strict laws regarding which family members (survivors versus the estate) are legally entitled to recover damages for loss of companionship, mental pain and suffering, and lost support.

Fla. Stat. § 627.736

Navigating Florida PIP

We ensure your immediate medical bills are covered under Florida's no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) system while we build the larger liability case against the at-fault driver.

The Hometown Advantage

Why Local Representation Matters

The attorney you choose matters, and their reputation in the local community matters even more. Insurance companies, opposing counsel, and local judges know Pittman Law Firm.

We Know the Local Courts

We are intimately familiar with the Lee County Justice Center in downtown Fort Myers and the Collier County Courthouse in Naples. We know the local procedures, judges, and opposing defense attorneys that can make or break a case.

We Know the Local Roads

From Bonita Beach Road and Pine Ridge Road to the congested Midpoint Bridge in Cape Coral, we know exactly where and how these accidents happen. We routinely work with Lee and Collier County Sheriff's Offices, FHP, and accident reconstruction experts.

We Know the Local Medical Providers

Whether you are treated at Lee Memorial Hospital, Gulf Coast Medical Center, or NCH Healthcare System, we have strong relationships with the most respected orthopedic surgeons, neurologists, and physical therapists across Southwest Florida.

Our Transparent Process

What to Expect When You Hire Us

Trust is built on transparency. While "billboard" firms leave you in the dark, our 1-on-1 boutique approach means you are always informed.

Free, Confidential Consultation

Speak directly with our team to evaluate your case. No pressure, no obligations, just honest legal advice.

Immediate Investigation

Once hired, we secure police reports, local traffic camera footage, and witness statements right away.

Medical Management

We guide you toward the best local medical care, with every treatment thoroughly documented for your claim.

Aggressive Negotiation & Litigation

We compile a comprehensive demand. If insurers refuse to pay fairly, David Pittman is fully prepared to take your case to a jury.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Hiring Pittman Law Firm

Do I really need a lawyer for a car accident in Florida?

Yes. Insurance companies employ entire teams of adjusters and lawyers dedicated to minimizing your payout. You need legal representation to level the playing field. Without an attorney, you risk accepting a lowball settlement that fails to cover your future medical needs.

Will my personal injury case go to trial?

The majority of personal injury cases settle out of court. Because David Pittman prepares every case as if it will go to trial, insurance companies are often more willing to offer maximum settlements to avoid facing us in the courtroom.

How much does it cost to hire Pittman Law Firm?

We operate on a strict contingency fee basis. You pay zero upfront out-of-pocket costs. We only get paid a percentage of your settlement or verdict if we win. If we don't win, you owe us nothing.
