AUTO/TRUCK ACCIDENTS

If you or a loved one have been involved in an auto accident we can help. Did your accident result in a death, permanent injury, impairment or some other form of serious bodily injury? If so, you have rights in the state of Florida that allow you to file a claim against the party who is at fault.

You can recover damages that include medical expenses, lost wages, pain, suffering and any permanent impact on your earning potential directly related to the accident. We are capable of handling both simple and complex litigation. No case is too large or small for Knowles and Randolph’s experienced team of legal professionals.

We confer with experts to determine if indeed our potential clients are victims of malpractice and thereafter work tirelessly to recover any and all damages that are entitled to you.
