Lee County Personal Injury Lawyer
Injured in a crash in Fort Myers or Cape Coral? When an insurance company is betting you’ll settle cheap, it helps to have a trial lawyer on your side. Ave Maria Law Center is led by a trial lawyer and former Florida Assistant Attorney General who has argued for the State of Florida and now fights for injured people — the people insurance companies and large institutions expect to give up.

Serving accident victims across Lee County
Lee County’s fast-growing roads see serious crashes daily — on Interstate 75, U.S. 41 (the Tamiami Trail), Colonial Boulevard, Daniels Parkway, Six Mile Cypress Parkway, and Summerlin Road in Fort Myers, and on Del Prado Boulevard, Pine Island Road, and the Cape Coral and Midpoint Memorial bridges over the Caloosahatchee. Cape Coral is the county’s largest city, and its heavy commuter traffic produces some of the region’s worst collisions.
After a serious wreck, many Lee County residents are treated within the Lee Health system — Lee Memorial and Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers, Cape Coral Hospital, and HealthPark — before the medical bills and insurance calls begin. Whether your crash happened in Fort Myers, out in Cape Coral, or down in Bonita Springs, we handle claims for clients throughout the county — cases generally pursued in Lee County, in Florida’s Twentieth Judicial Circuit.

Lee County injury FAQ
My accident was in Cape Coral — do you handle that area?
Yes. We serve all of Lee County — Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Estero, Lehigh Acres, and the beaches — and take cases across Florida.
The other driver had no insurance. Can I still recover?
Possibly. Florida has many uninsured and underinsured drivers, and you may have uninsured-motorist coverage on your own policy. We review your coverage and every source of recovery available to you.
How soon should I call a lawyer after a Fort Myers crash?
Sooner is better. Evidence disappears and insurers move fast. Calling early lets us preserve proof and handle the adjusters before you say something that hurts your claim.
The driver who hit me was Canadian. Does that change my case?
It adds cross-border insurance layers — and often a defendant who goes home in spring. It is more work, not a dead end. See our guide on being hit by a Canadian driver in Florida.
