Standing Up for What's Right
When Tourist Season Turns Dangerous
Spring break and summer vacation months bring massive crowds to Panama City Beach, dramatically increasing accident risks. Unfamiliar drivers navigate congested roads like Front Beach Road and Thomas Drive while distracted by GPS devices and excited passengers. Late-night crashes near Pier Park and the entertainment district often involve alcohol and multiple parties from different states.
Beyond traffic accidents, vacation rentals present their own hazards. Poorly maintained properties, unsafe pool areas, and inadequate security put visitors at risk. When tourists get hurt, they often face insurance companies that delay claims, hoping victims will return home and give up their pursuit of compensation.
Fighting Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance adjusters know that injury cases involving tourists present opportunities to minimize payouts. They may dispute jurisdiction, delay investigations, or pressure victims to settle quickly before leaving Florida. Local residents injured by out-of-state tourists often face similar delays while insurers conduct "investigations" designed to run out the clock.
We've successfully taken on major insurance carriers and corporate defendants throughout Florida. Both of our attorneys hold AV Preeminent® ratings from Martindale-Hubbell®, reflecting the highest peer-reviewed standards for legal ability and ethics. When insurance companies see experienced trial attorneys on the other side, they take claims more seriously.
The Watson Firm, PLLC treats every client like family because we understand what you're going through. Whether you're a Panama City resident or a visitor injured while on vacation, you deserve compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
