Avera & Smith, LLP Avera & Smith, LLP Avera & Smith, LLP has been representing Floridians for over 65 years. Our initial consultations are always free.

Our legacy is one of personal service and genuine caring for our clients. Most important, we have the experience and qualifications that have created a tradition of success that has not only earned us a great reputation, but helped get the best possible personal injury settlements and verdicts for our clients. The fact is, law firms who have the experience, willingness and skill to get the best jury verdicts typically get the best settlements for their clients, as well. Though no law firm can (or ever should) promise court wins or settlements, if you have a viable case and become our client, our fees will be paid only if we make a recovery on your behalf.

Getting hurt in a car accident is hard enough. It’s even harder when you know it didn't have to happen, like when the other driver was texting instead of paying attention to the road.

Proving the other driver was on their phone takes more than just your word against theirs. At Avera & Smith, we dive into phone records, police reports, witness statements, and video footage to get the facts. That way, you can focus on getting better while we work to get you the compensation you deserve.

How do you hire an attorney if you’re in jail?

If you’re sitting in jail, you won’t have access to money, a credit card, or much more than yourself and a phone. In many cases, you’ll need to contact a trusted friend or family member who can reach out to an attorney and handle the hiring process for you.

And remember: Don’t talk about your case over the phone. 📞

AI chat bots are not as confidential as you think...

Criminal Defense Attorney John Whitaker notes that if you commit a crime, officials can obtain a warrant to search your phone, which includes AI chats and search history.

Next time you search on ChatGPT or Claude, think to yourself, “Would I want the government to see this?”

When you get injured, the first thing you might ask is, "How long will my personal injury case take?”

The honest answer? It depends.

The timeline of a personal injury case can be influenced by a variety of factors like length of medical treatment, evidence collection, settlement negotiations, and more.

Not every personal injury case ends up in court. In fact, most personal injury cases never make it to a lawsuit, and even fewer go all the way to trial. So, your case might actually move along much faster than you expect.

After an accident, when should you call a lawyer?

The answer is: shortly after. Your health is the most important thing, so get medical attention right away. Afterwards, contacting a lawyer is your best chance of securing important evidence that can make or break your case.
