Personal Injury Attorney Cape Coral FL
Cape Coral & Fort Myers Personal Injury Attorneys
When someone's negligence injures you — in a car crash on Pine Island Road, a slip and fall at a Cape Coral retail store, or a construction accident in Lee County — you deserve to be made whole. Medical bills accumulate fast. Lost wages begin immediately. And the at-fault party's insurance company starts working against you from the moment you call them.
Martin Law Firm's personal injury attorneys represent accident victims throughout Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Naples, and Southwest Florida. We take cases on a contingency fee basis — meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.
Florida's personal injury laws changed significantly in 2023. If you were injured after March 24, 2023, important new rules apply to your claim — including a shorter statute of limitations and a new comparative fault bar.
2023 Florida Tort Reform — Critical Changes for Injury Victims
Florida HB 837 (effective March 24, 2023): (1) Reduced statute of limitations for negligence claims from 4 years to 2 years; (2) Changed to modified comparative negligence — if you are more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Car & Truck Accidents
Collisions on US-41, Cape Coral Parkway, I-75, and throughout SWFL.
Slip & Fall / Premises Liability
Falls caused by wet floors, broken pavement, or negligent property maintenance.
Motorcycle Accidents

Boating Accidents
Southwest Florida's waterways create unique boating accident risks on the Caloosahatchee and Gulf waters.
