Practice Areas Our Alachua Personal Injury Lawyers Handle

Our versatile Alachua personal injury attorneys constantly learn and evolve, and are well-versed in a wide range of practice areas, including:

• Truck accidents
• Car accidents
• Motorcycle accidents
• Bus accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Rideshare accidents
• Slip and fall accidents

If you suffer an injury, become sick, or lose a loved one, it may be worth speaking with our team. If you believe any of these outcomes happened because someone else endangered you, you may have grounds for a personal injury case.

Are You the Victim of Negligence? Call Us and Find Out

Our attorneys generally determine fault for our clients’ damages based on the legal principle of negligence. When you contact us about your case, we will give our opinion about whether you’re the victim of negligence.

We generally prove negligence by:

• Showing the at-fault party had a duty of care to our client: When someone has a duty of care, they must act reasonably. For example, a truck driver cannot speed or tailgate, as this endangers others and qualifies as unreasonable behavior.
• Proving the at-fault party breached their duty of care to our client: Our team will obtain all evidence, witness testimony, and other materials that suggest they violated their duty of care to you.
• Establishing the link between the at-fault party’s negligence and the event(s) that harmed our client: We will also use evidence to show a direct link between the at-fault party’s negligence and any events that have resulted in you being injured, sick, or in a state of grief.
• Communicating our client’s damages resulting from the at-fault party’s negligence: Once we have proven the connection between negligence and a harmful event, we must then show the harm you have suffered because of the harmful event.

Evidence plays a critical role in proving negligence. Because evidence can be lost, destroyed, or spoiled in other ways, we encourage you to call our firm as soon as possible.

What Makes Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A. Worthy of Your Consideration?

Our firm strives to be the ideal ambassadors for our profession. We give lawyers a good name. We start by doing everything in the best interests of our clients, putting their needs above all other considerations.

You deserve some even more detailed reasons to hire your Alachua personal injury lawyer from our firm, so let’s give you those reasons:

More Than 40 Years of Advocating for Victims of Negligence

The personal injury attorneys at Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A. have been seeking settlements and judgments for clients for more than four decades.

This means:

• We are not a fly-by-night firm that plays fast and loose with our reputation—our firm’s longevity shows we’re committed to integrity and client satisfaction.
• Over the past 40-plus years, we have handled many different cases, learning valuable lessons and honing our craft with each one.
• Our attorneys are familiar with regional court systems throughout the state, including in the Alachua area.

Our attorneys and paralegals freely share their knowledge and experiences with their peers. This means that we have retained and accumulated priceless wisdom over the handful of decades we have been serving our clients.

Case Results That Have Changed Lives

Reviewing a firm’s results is essential for anyone seeking a lawyer in Alachua.

Just know that our team of relentless, results-focused lawyers has secured:

• $3.5 million for a car accident victim
• $2.5 million for an auto accident victim hit by a truck
• $1.125 million for another traffic accident victim
• Many other seven-figure settlements and verdicts 

It does not necessarily take a seven-figure recovery to change a life. In fact, we have helped many clients put their lives back together and find financial security with smaller recoveries.

Our goal in every case is to obtain all the compensation our client deserves. We don’t settle for any lesser result.

Serving Communities Throughout Florida, Including Alachua

Because we have multiple offices in Florida, we cannot help but identify as a Florida-focused firm.

Our focus on communities in Florida, including Alachua, helps us and our clients because:

• Our attorneys and paralegals don’t have to worry about complicated laws and insurance rules from several states—we have laser-sharp focus on Florida.
• We are familiar with the cities where we handle cases, which can streamline investigations, familiarize us with local courts and law enforcement, and help us in other ways.
• Our firm has a valuable network of healthcare providers, mental health service providers, experts, and legal professionals that often benefit our cases.

Our office, at 6241 NW 23rd Street in Gainesville, is a convenient headquarters for your case. We go to our clients when they need us, so you won’t have to worry about traveling to our office (though we are never far away).

Our Outlook That Clients Are Family (and Deserve Our Very Best)

While our firm has multiple offices in Florida, millions in case results, and several attorneys on staff, we have never stopped treating clients like family.

Client service is what we do, and we provide the best service we can by:

• Getting to know you as a client but also as a person
• Prioritizing your case, as we consider it a duty to resolve your case as soon as we can
• Always having time for you and listening intently and patiently
• Contacting you regularly, which may include issuing updates, explaining your current case status, or simply checking on you

We go above and beyond by being compassionate, authentic, and focused on our clients’ unique needs. While we treat you like family, our approach to your case will be aggressive—after all, we don’t tolerate those who do our family wrong.

Worried About Money? We Make Hiring an Alachua Personal Injury Attorney Stress-Free

We often hear clients ask whether they can afford to hire us. With our record of results and robust staff, they sometimes assume we cost an arm and a leg. This cannot be further from the truth.

We know many who need a personal injury lawyer face trying times. Many are under intense financial stress.

This is why our Alachua personal injury attorneys and our firm more broadly:

• Have immense compassion for our clients, which is one reason why we cover all case-related costs
• Will never ask you for upfront or out-of-pocket compensation
• Are willing to accept our fee as part of your financial recovery—that is, if we obtain compensation for you, your attorney will receive a percentage

We call this a contingency fee. We cover the cost of your case, and we only receive a fee if we obtain compensation for you. No results, no payment. This is exactly what our clients want and deserve.

We hope you will choose your attorney from our firm, as we believe there is every reason to do just that.

Call Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A. today at (800) 800-2575 for your free consultation. Do not wait, as Florida statutes generally require us to file our personal injury and wrongful death cases before a filing deadline passes.

How an Alachua Personal Injury Attorney From Our Team Will Fight for You

We know what a lawyer will do for you because we work daily for our clients. Though we will create a personalized blueprint for how to secure compensation for you, we generally help our clients by:

Obtaining and Studying Insurance Policies (and Dealing with Insurers)

Insurance is a constant feature of our jobs as personal injury attorneys, and we will:

• Gather all relevant facts about your case, including facts specific to insurance
• Get copies of all insurance policies that are part of your case
• Determine which insurers you should seek compensation from
• Handle the claims process for you

Our lawyers know how to deal with insurers. Notably, we know how to respond when insurance companies treat our clients unethically.

Protecting and Advising 

Our clients are often confused, uncertain, and looking for answers when they hire us.

We provide those answers, and we also:

• Warn the client about possible hazards and mistakes that can harm them financially
• Ensure that liable insurance companies cannot mislead, lowball, or even contact our clients (these tactics can lead to unfavorable claim outcomes, including lowball settlement agreements)
• Lay out a digestible case plan for our clients
• Ensure our clients understand and are comfortable with our case plan

You will eventually have to make case-related decisions. Some decisions may be monumental, such as accepting a settlement. With us leading the way, you’ll have the perspective and info you need to make the right moves.

Securing Evidence

Clients come to us for many reasons. Some are in auto accidents. Others fall due to unsafe premises. Many potential motivations exist to approach us, and every case warrants immediate action from our Alachua personal injury lawyers.

Obtaining evidence that proves negligence is always an urgent duty.

Some evidence we commonly use in personal injury cases include:

• The words of witnesses, whose perspectives often support our cases
• Video, which can be worth even more than words
• Expert testimony, which is a valuable resource our firm pays for upfront

We also work with law enforcement, such as the Alachua Police Department. These authorities may provide police reports and testimony, help us identify hit-and-run motorists, provide evidence from drunk-driving accidents, and assist us in other ways.

Documenting Recoverable Damages

Your attorney from Steven A. Bagen & Associates, P.A. will learn what you’ve endured because of the at-fault party’s negligence.

We may uncover and document your damages by:

• Speaking with those who have seen your damages, including you
• Hiring experts to testify about your damages (they may speak about injuries, financial losses, mental health challenges, and other damages)
• Obtaining medical records, bank statements, and other paper records that illustrate your damages

If we can take any other measures to communicate the cost you suffered, we will.

Negotiating

Our lawyers negotiate, and they do so fearlessly and tenaciously. This is one of the most important duties we can perform for our clients.

At the end of the day, you may recover compensation. Your Alachua attorney will insist that liable parties pay you that specific sum of money.

Leading Legal Cases When We Need To

Though we often resolve personal injury cases through insurance claims and negotiations, this doesn’t always happen.

If we need to file a lawsuit, go to court, or take any other legal measures for you, we will not delay.

Recoverable Damages We Often Include in Personal Injury Cases 

Some damages our clients often receive compensation for include:

• Medical bills
• Pain and suffering
• Replacement or repair of damaged property
• Caregiver services
• Lost income

We must learn more about your case before we can pinpoint each of your recoverable damages. Our team is eager to learn more about you and your case and to start fighting for you.
