Gunter Firm Attorney

Fort Myers Personal Injury Law Firm

Preserving the Rights of Injury Victims in Southwest Florida

Jason L. Gunter, P.A. has helped injury victims in Fort Myers and Naples for almost two decades. His law firm exclusively handles personal injury and employment law claims. This focus allows him to concentrate on recovering the maximum compensation possible in every client’s case.

We recognize that accidents can happen any time of the day, not just during regular business hours. Early investigation of the accident scene may improve the chances of successful recovery. Our dedicated team is available 24/7 to help with this process. Our bilingual staff is available to assist if you need translation services.

Do not delay in pursuing your rights. In most cases, you only have two years from the accident date to file your personal injury claim. If you do not file by the time the statute of limitations has expired, you may be barred by the court from recovering damages. Do not risk losing your legal rights.

Types of Personal Injury Cases

Our firm helps victims who sustain catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain damage, amputations, burns and internal organ damage. We also represent the families of victims who have succumbed to their injuries in wrongful death claims.

We also handle a broad range of challenging personal injury claims including:

  • Auto accidents

    Southwest Florida residents are very familiar with the varying traffic patterns experienced on such congested roadways as I-75 and US-41. We all often witness minor fender benders and serious motor vehicle accidents on our commutes. When you are involved in an automobile accident you want an experienced attorney to advise and represent you.

  • Bicycle accidents

    As an avid cyclist and Iron Man finisher, Jason Gunter understands the rules of the road and the rights of cyclists, which are often misunderstood by motorists and law enforcement.

  • Medical malpractice

    Medical malpractice is the failure of a health care provider to render medical care according to reasonably accepted medical standards in Florida. In other words, a medical provider does something that is not within acceptable medical practice, or fails to do something necessary for the patient’s good care.

  • Defective products

    Products that are unreasonably dangerous due to a manufacturing or design defect endanger the safety of consumers. When safety is outweighed by potential profits, Gunter Firm will successfully advocate for the victims injured by these defective products.

  • Limb loss

    Limb loss as a result of an accident is traumatic, and changes an individual’s life forever. Our firm offers the knowledgeable advice and representation needed to handle a case involving limb loss for our Southwest Florida clients.

  • Motorcycle accidents

    Being the victim of a motorcycle accident can be overwhelming and the Florida insurance laws can be difficult to understand without the aid of an experienced attorney.

  • Boating accidents

    Southwest Florida residents enjoy the benefits of living close to numerous bodies of water, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caloosahatchee River, but these same residents are also at risk when they use their watercraft. Boating accidents often occur due to another’s negligence. Our experienced attorney can represent your rights so you are properly compensated for the injuries you sustained.

  • Pedestrian accidents

    A leisurely walk on a beautiful day in Southwest Florida can take a turn for the worse when the negligence of a driver or the failure of a party to maintain its property results in injury or death to a pedestrian.

  • Slip and falls

    Slip and fall describes any situation where a person is injured on public or private party by slipping, tripping or falling as a result of a dangerous condition. Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe property conditions and keeping their guests, customers and other members of the public safe from harm. You may have a cause of action if the property owner fails to keep the property in good repair or warn you about dangers.

  • Spinal cord injuries

    The neck and spine are delicate areas on our body that are often subject to permanent injuries that range from discomfort to paralysis. If you or your loved one sustained a spinal cord injury, retain an attorney who has experience and is dedicated to advocating on your behalf.

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

    Unlike other traumatic injuries, damage to thr brain is not always immediately detectable.. Allow Gunter Firm to represent your best interests as you focus on the path to recovery.

  • Truck accidents

    Fort Myers and Naples residents share Florida roads and highways with large tractor-trailers that can cause catastrophic motor vehicle accidents. Our firm is experienced in handling 18-wheeler cases, and will aggressively advocate on your behalf.

  • Construction accidents

    Southwest Florida is blessed with a booming construction industry that employs thousands of our residents. Construction sites are inherently dangerous, and injuries occur regularly. Consult with our experienced PI lawyer to recover compensation for your workplace injuries.

  • Workplace accidents

    Southwest Florida Employees suffer thousands of injuries in the workplace every year, ranging from minor injuries to catastrophic damages and death. We advocate for your right to collect the compensation you are entitled to.

  • Wrongful death

    A wrongful death lawsuit describes a legal claim a family can bring against an individual or company that is legally responsible for the death of a family member. A wrongful death lawsuit can arise out of various situations involving negligence or carelessness.

Damages in a Personal Injury Claim

The types and amount of damages you may be entitled to depend upon the facts of your case. Relying on our vast experience in personal injury litigation, we can thoroughly review your case to determine the damages you are entitled to and the value of your claim. We may pursue recovery of compensation for:

  • Medical bills
  • Anticipated health care needs and treatments
  • Lost income
  • Diminished future earning capacity
  • Expenses associated with your injury
  • Disability
  • Reduced quality and enjoyment of life
  • Pain and suffering

Wrongful Death Damages

In addition, we assist families whose loved ones have died because of the negligence of another person or corporation. Depending on the facts of the case, we may recover on behalf of your loved one’s estate such damages as:

  • Medical bills to treat the injury
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Lost wages of your deceased family member
  • Benefits, such as health insurance and pensions
  • Loss of love, guidance, companionship, support, friendship, advice and affection
  • Loss of services, such as landscaping, cooking, cleaning, childcare, security and accounting
  • Damages your loved one would have recovered in a personal injury claim

Our Contingency Billing Policies

Jason L. Gunter, P.A. takes your personal injury case on a contingency arrangement, meaning you do not pay attorneys’ fees unless we recover compensation through a verdict or settlement. In the unlikely event we recover nothing, we do not charge for our services. Our contingency policy relieves some of the financial stress associated with a personal injury. Our contingency arrangement allows you to seek justice without concern about depleting your savings or taking on additional debt.
