Tell us about your situation. We respond promptly.
When an accident leaves you with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and lost income, the decisions you make in the weeks that follow can shape your financial future. Florida’s comparative fault rules and strict statute of limitations - generally two years for most personal injury claims under the 2023 reform - mean that evidence must be preserved and legal action initiated promptly. Whether your injury occurred on Cortez Boulevard, near the Suncoast Parkway interchange, or at a commercial property in downtown Brooksville, the legal path forward requires an attorney who understands both Florida tort law and the specific dynamics of Hernando County.
Personal injury cases filed by Brooksville residents are typically handled through the Hernando County Circuit Court in Brooksville, though cases involving defendants or incidents that cross county lines may involve Pasco or Hillsborough venues. Insurance companies - whether representing an at-fault driver, a trucking company, or a negligent property owner - assign experienced adjusters whose goal is to minimize payouts. Without skilled legal representation, injured claimants often accept settlements that fail to account for future medical costs, lost earning capacity, and pain and suffering damages Florida law allows.
Butash Law Group approaches every Brooksville personal injury case with the investigative discipline Mike Butash developed as a former Assistant State Attorney. The firm conducts thorough evidence gathering, works with qualified medical and accident-reconstruction experts when needed, and negotiates aggressively with insurers before ever stepping into a courtroom. Clients receive direct attorney attention - not hand-offs to paralegals - and the firm’s contingency-fee structure means there are no upfront legal costs. From the initial free consultation through resolution, the focus remains on securing the full compensation each client deserves.

Under Florida's 2023 tort reform, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the date of the accident. Missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering compensation. It is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible after an injury so that evidence is preserved and your rights are protected.
The firm handles a broad range of personal injury matters including car and truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, slip-and-fall incidents, boating accidents, drunk-driving collisions, and catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord damage. If your injury resulted from someone else's negligence in or around Brooksville, the firm can evaluate your claim at no cost.
Many personal injury cases are resolved through negotiated settlements before a lawsuit is ever filed. However, if an insurer refuses to offer fair compensation, Butash Law Group is fully prepared to litigate in Hernando County Circuit Court. Having an attorney with genuine trial experience is an important factor in persuading insurers to settle reasonably.
Florida personal injury law allows injured parties to seek compensation for medical expenses, future treatment costs, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, and non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. The specific damages available depend on the facts of your case, the severity of your injuries, and applicable insurance coverage. An attorney can assess the full value of your claim during a free consultation.
Yes. Florida follows a modified comparative fault system, meaning your compensation can be reduced by the percentage of fault attributed to you. Under the 2023 reform, if you are found more than 50 percent at fault, you may be barred from recovering damages. Insurance companies often try to shift blame onto injured claimants, which is why having an experienced attorney to counter those arguments is critical.
Butash Law Group handles personal injury cases on a contingency-fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless the firm recovers compensation for you. The initial consultation is also completely free. This arrangement allows Brooksville residents to access experienced legal representation regardless of their current financial situation.
