Representing Clients in all Types of Personal Injury Matters
At Goldman Law, P.A., we represent individuals who have been injured because of someone else’s negligence. Whether your case involves a serious auto accident, a slip and fall, or a catastrophic injury, we are committed to holding wrongdoers accountable. We pursue full compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future care needs.
Common cases we handle include:
- Car Accidents: Collisions on Maitland Boulevard, Interstate 4, or local intersections can lead to devastating injuries. We represent victims of rear-end collisions, intersection crashes, and accidents caused by uninsured drivers, distracted driving or drunk driving.
- Truck Accidents: With major roadways running through Orange County, large commercial trucks are common on Maitland’s roads. Accidents involving 18-wheelers and delivery trucks often result in catastrophic harm due to the size and weight of these vehicles.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Florida’s year-round riding weather brings heavy motorcycle traffic. When drivers fail to see riders or violate their right of way, serious injuries like road rash, fractures, and traumatic brain injuries can occur.
- Slip, Trip & Fall Accidents: Falls can happen anywhere—from supermarkets and restaurants to hotels or apartment complexes. Property owners have a duty to maintain safe conditions. If they fail, you may be entitled to compensation.
- Pedestrian Accidents & Bicycle Accidents: Maitland’s growing downtown area and scenic neighborhoods invite more foot and bicycle traffic. Unfortunately, careless drivers often fail to yield or check crosswalks, leading to serious pedestrian and cyclist injuries.
- Wrongful Death: If your loved one was killed as a result of negligence, Goldman Law, P.A. will help your family seek justice and accountability.
- Spinal Cord Injury: Severe trauma to the spine can cause paralysis or long-term mobility issues, often requiring extensive medical care and rehabilitation.
- Traumatic Brain Injury: Head trauma can lead to lasting cognitive, emotional, and physical challenges that affect every part of a victim’s life.

What does it cost to hire Goldman Law, P.A.?
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
Under Florida law, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the accident. However, certain circumstances may shorten or extend this deadline.
What compensation can I recover?
You may be entitled to damages for medical bills, lost wages, future care, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
Should I talk to the insurance company after an accident?
No. It’s best to let your attorney handle all communication. Insurance companies often use statements against you to reduce their payout.

It depends on factors such as the severity of your injuries, complexity of the case, and willingness of the other side to settle. Most cases resolve within several months to a year.
