Bagen Law Accident Injury Lawyers, P.A. is a personal injury firm serving injured people and their families throughout North Central Florida, with offices in Gainesville, Ocala, and Daytona Beach. Our practice centers on motor vehicle collisions, including car, truck, and motorcycle cases, along with wrongful death, catastrophic and brain injuries, bicycle and pedestrian collisions, and slip and fall injuries.
What people notice first about working with us is that motor vehicle injury work is the core of our practice rather than one service among many. If you were hurt and are not sure where to start, call us at 800-800-2575 for a free consultation.
Who Do We Represent?
We represent people who were injured because someone else was careless, and the families of people who did not survive. Most of our clients have never dealt with an injury claim before and are hearing from an adjuster within days.
The cases we handle most often include:
Car accidents
Truck and commercial vehicle collisions
Motorcycle accidents
Wrongful death claims
Catastrophic and traumatic brain injuries
Bicycle and pedestrian collisions
Slip and fall injuries
We take on a focused set of case types because depth in a smaller number of areas serves clients better than breadth across many.
How Do We Approach a Case?
We start by getting to the evidence before it disappears, which usually means moving in the first days rather than the first month. Surveillance video gets overwritten, vehicles get repaired, and witnesses become hard to reach.
From there, the work is documentary. We build the medical and financial record that establishes what an injury actually costs, and we prepare each case as though it will be tried, because that is what gives a settlement conversation weight.
We also take over the calls. Once we are involved, adjusters contact us instead of you.
What Sets Us Apart
Insurance companies bring adjusters and defense counsel to every serious claim, and the people on the other side deserve real experience on theirs. Our attorneys have handled and tried motor vehicle injury cases in courts across this region, and that focus is what lets us recognize how a claim is being managed before it becomes a problem.
A few things clients tell us matter most:
You reach a person at our firm, not a queue, including nights and weekends.
You will know where your case stands without chasing anyone for an answer.
We give honest assessments, including when we think a claim is weak.
You owe nothing up front, and no attorney’s fee unless we recover for you.
None of that is unusual to promise. We would rather you judge it from the first phone call than take our word for it.
What Can Clients Expect When Working With Us?
You can expect a free first conversation with no obligation, and a clear explanation of what we would do and what it would cost. Our fee agreements are contingency-based, and Florida attorneys are bound by the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, which require a written agreement and a statement of client rights before you sign anything.
After that, the shape of a case is usually the same. You focus on treatment while we investigate, identify the available insurance, assemble the record, and negotiate. If the insurer will not resolve it fairly, we file.
Timing matters more than most people expect. Most Florida negligence claims must be filed within two years of the injury, and the practical deadline for preserving evidence arrives much sooner.
Where We Serve
We work throughout North Central Florida from three cities. Our Gainesville office serves Alachua County and the surrounding area, our Ocala office covers Marion County and the I-75 corridor, and our Daytona Beach office handles Volusia County and the coast.
These are the roads and courthouses we work in every week.
FAQs: About Bagen Law
These are the questions people ask most often before deciding to call.
Do your attorneys go to trial?
Yes. Most injury cases resolve before trial, and we prepare every case as though it will not, because insurers evaluate claims partly on whether the other side is genuinely ready. When trial is the right path, we are prepared to take it.
What does it cost to hire the firm?
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, meaning our fee is an agreed percentage of what we recover, and if we recover nothing, you owe no attorney’s fee. We walk through the agreement in plain language before you sign.
Will I work directly with an attorney?
Yes. An attorney is involved in your case rather than only at the beginning and the end, and you will know who to contact. We are glad to tell you exactly who will handle your file when you call.
What if my injury happened outside Gainesville, Ocala, or Daytona Beach?
We handle claims across North Central Florida, so an office in your city is not a requirement. What matters is the county where a claim would be filed. Much of the process can be handled by phone and email if traveling is difficult.
How quickly should I call after an accident?
Sooner is better, because the most useful decisions come up in the first days, before statements are given, and while evidence still exists. A consultation costs nothing and carries no obligation. Learning that you do not need a lawyer is a perfectly good outcome.
