We understand that every client’s situation is unique. That’s why we take a team-based approach, combining attentive service, clear communication, and strategic legal advocacy to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
Personal Injury Law
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. We handle a wide range of personal injury claims, including:
- Car Accidents: Auto accidents can leave victims with lasting injuries and mounting expenses. We fight for full and fair compensation while helping you navigate insurance challenges and treatment options.
- Truck Accidents & Tractor-Trailer Accidents: Collisions involving commercial trucks and tractor-trailers often cause severe injuries and require complex legal analysis. We work to hold drivers and trucking companies accountable for negligence and regulatory violations.
- Drunk Driving Accidents: If you or a loved one was harmed by a drunk or impaired driver, we pursue justice and financial recovery with urgency and compassion.
- Slip and Fall & Premises Liability: Unsafe property conditions can cause serious injuries. Whether you slipped on a wet floor or tripped on a hazard in a store or public area, we can help you pursue a premises liability claim.
- Salon and Spa Injuries: Poor hygiene, chemical burns, infections, or negligence during beauty treatments can lead to significant physical and emotional harm. We represent clients injured in salons, spas, and aesthetic clinics throughout Florida.
- Medical Malpractice: Patients place immense trust in doctors and hospitals. When that trust is broken through substandard care, the consequences can be life-changing. We handle claims involving surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, birth injuries, and failure to diagnose.
Disability Claims
At the Dan Stewart Law Firm, we help clients navigate the complex process of applying for and securing disability benefits—whether through federal programs or the VA.
- Veteran’s Disability: Many veterans have struggled for years to receive the benefits they earned. We’re proud to now offer local representation for veterans dealing with denied or delayed VA disability claims.
- Social Security Disability: If a medical condition prevents you from working, we can guide you through the Social Security Disability application or appeals process to help secure financial support.
Estate Planning & Wills
Preparing for the future is one of the most important steps you can take for your family. We offer thoughtful and personalized estate planning services, including:
- Last Will and Testament preparation
- Advance healthcare directives
- Powers of attorney
- Guardianship arrangements
- Assistance with probate and estate administration
Whether you’re planning ahead or navigating a recent loss, our firm provides clear guidance and compassionate counsel every step of the way.
Civil Remedies
18 U.S.C. 1595 allows victims to file civil lawsuits against traffickers and those who knowingly benefited from trafficking. Survivors can seek monetary damages against individuals, businesses, and organizations, including hotels, social media platforms, and financial institutions that facilitated trafficking.
Civil lawsuits require a lower burden of proof than criminal cases. While prosecutors must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, civil plaintiffs only need to demonstrate liability by a preponderance of the evidence. This has led to lawsuits against Backpage.com and hotel chains accused of enabling trafficking. Courts often apply the "willful blindness" standard, holding defendants accountable if they ignored clear signs of trafficking.
