Experienced Representation in Florida's Emerald Coast

Collisions involving rental cars and unfamiliar drivers on busy tourist corridors
Drunk driving accidents near nightlife districts and entertainment venues

Cases We Handle

Standing Up for What's Right

Navigating Complex Tourist-Related Injury Claims

Tourist-heavy communities present unique legal challenges. Injured visitors often return home before understanding their injuries' full extent, while local residents face elevated risks from inexperienced drivers and overcrowded establishments. Our attorneys handle the jurisdictional complexities, out-of-state insurance policies, and corporate defendants common in beach resort cases.

Attorney William Galione's background as a Board-Certified Civil Trial Lawyer for 15 years positions him to manage these sophisticated matters effectively. Combined with Attorney Aaron Watson's track record of securing multi-million dollar verdicts, including $12.4 million in a car accident case and $3.4 million in a product liability claim, our firm delivers results regardless of where defendants are located.

Why Timing Matters in Destin Injury Cases

Florida's two-year statute of limitations creates urgency for all injury victims, but tourists face additional pressure. Many visitors attempt to handle claims from their home states, only to find that distance complicates evidence gathering, witness interviews, and negotiations with Florida-based defendants. Local residents injured by out-of-state tourists often encounter insurance companies that delay investigations or dispute liability.

We eliminate these obstacles by taking immediate action on your behalf. Our firm investigates accidents thoroughly, documents damages comprehensively, and negotiates aggressively with insurers who try to minimize legitimate claims. The Watson Firm, PLLC works on a contingency fee basis, so if we don't win your case, you pay no attorney fees. This approach allows injured people to access quality legal representation without financial risk during an already stressful time.
