Personal Injury

Few things feel more overwhelming than being injured in an accident that was not your fault. One moment life is moving forward, and the next everything changes. Across Florida, serious accidents happen every day, leaving people unsure of what to do next or who to trust.

If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence, you do not have to face this alone. The Wesley Chapel personal injury lawyers at The Law Offices of Matthew J. Jowanna, P.A. are here to guide you and help you pursue the full compensation you deserve.

Why Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer Matters

Choosing a personal injury lawyer is one of the most important decisions you will make after an accident. It is like choosing a guide after getting lost. The right one helps you move forward with confidence, while the wrong one can cost you time, money, and results.

Many attorneys say they handle personal injury cases, but experience is what truly matters. Attorney Matthew J. Jowanna has handled thousands of personal injury cases since 1994, including everything from minor injuries to catastrophic cases involving brain injuries, loss of limb, and wrongful death.

If you or a loved one has been injured, you can contact our team for a free consultation. Most cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you. No recovery means no fee.

Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle

Every accident is different, but the goal is always the same. Help you recover physically, financially, and emotionally. Our firm handles a wide range of personal injury claims, including:

Car Accidents – Car accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in Florida. If you have been hurt in a crash, we help you recover compensation for medical bills, lost income, and other damages.
Truck Accidents – Accidents involving commercial trucks often result in severe injuries. These cases can be complex, but our team helps you navigate the process step by step.
Motorcycle Accidents – Motorcyclists have little protection on the road, which often leads to serious injuries. We work to secure compensation that supports both short term and long term recovery.
Bicycle Accidents – Cyclists are often put at risk by careless drivers. If you were injured while riding, we help you protect your rights and pursue fair compensation so you can focus on healing.
Premises Liability – Property owners are responsible for maintaining safe conditions. If you were injured due to unsafe property conditions, you may have a valid claim.
Wrongful Death – Losing a loved one due to negligence is devastating. We help families seek justice, accountability, and financial support during a difficult time.

We also handle construction accidents, nursing home abuse and neglect, and other injury related claims.

Compensation in Florida Personal Injury Cases

A personal injury claim is meant to help rebuild what was lost. Think of it like restoring a home after damage. While it cannot undo the injury, it can help you move forward.

There are two main types of compensation.

Economic damages cover financial losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and funeral costs.
Non economic damages cover the personal impact of an injury, including pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and the effect on relationships.

The value of your case depends on your specific situation. Speaking with an attorney can help you understand what your claim may be worth.

Do Not Wait to Take Action

Timing is critical in personal injury cases. In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. Missing this deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation. There are some exceptions, but it is always best to act early. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the stronger your case can be.
