Personal Injury Defense

PERSONAL INJURY DEFENSE
General Liability, Premises Liability, Vehicle Negligence, Products Liability, Wrongful Death

Our attorneys have extensive experience handling the defense of personal injury claims.  Stephens, Lynn represents numerous clients ranging from individuals to large corporations who have hired us directly or through their insurance company.  We have successfully represented clients at all levels in the personal injury process, from "on-call" immediate site investigation within moments after an incident, pre-suit claims analysis and recommendations, and through the trial and appeal of personal injury actions.  Our experience enables us to provide clients with risk management assessments aimed at preventing the next claim.  Moreover, we offer our insurance clients continuing education courses through one of our state-approved attorney-instructors.  Each of our offices is staffed with attorneys who have experience defending claims arising out of slip/trip and falls, negligent security, motor vehicle accidents, products liability, construction accidents, wrongful death, and many other situations resulting in injuries.

Our attorneys understand the importance of providing our clients with an expedient analysis of their claim, along with a variety of legal options, all of which are result-oriented.  While the Firm's attorneys have extensive trial experience, we also recognize that over 95% of personal injury claims in Florida are resolved prior to trial.  Therefore, we strive for an early evaluation of liability, damages and legal expenses so that our clients can make an educated decision, even when faced with the most complex scenario.

We staff our files with the appropriate professional for the task to be accomplished.  Each matter is staffed with a partner, associate, and paralegal (many of whom are also Registered Nurses), and the work is assigned to the professional who can produce the highest quality work product in a cost-effective manner.

Some of our representative clients for whom we defend personal injury matters include: AIG, Hyatt Corporation, SunTrust Banks, Broadspire, Marriott Corporation, Pepsi Corporation, Westfield Insurance Group, Denny's Restaurants, Coldwell Banker, Philadelphia Indemnity Insurance Company, Shand Morahan & Company, and Scottsdale Insurance Company.
