Local knowledge

What we see in Cape Coral

The city is one of the largest by land area in the state and is laid out as a grid over an enormous canal network. Away from the main corridors, that grid means mile after mile of four-way stops and uncontrolled intersections, and the collisions there are right-angle impacts at speeds high enough to be serious. On the main corridors, Del Prado, Santa Barbara, Pine Island Road and Veterans Parkway, the pattern shifts to the usual main road mix of rear-end and left-turn crashes.

The canals put boats into the caseload in a way that is unusual even for Florida. What is ordinary here is a vessel collision, a dock or lift injury, a passenger fall, and none of them pay a medical bill automatically. That surprises people: after a car crash the first bills are covered whoever caused it, and after a boat crash they are not. The claim goes against the operator and often the vessel owner, and the medical bills sit with your health insurer until it resolves.

Claims we handle from Cape Coral

• Right-angle collisions at four-way stops in the residential grid

Where a Cape Coral case is handled

Cape Coral is in Lee County, so a suit is filed in the Lee County Justice Center in Fort Myers, in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit. The roads these claims come from are Del Prado Boulevard, Santa Barbara Boulevard, Pine Island Road, Cape Coral Parkway, Veterans Parkway and the Cape Coral and Midpoint bridges, and where an injury needed trauma care the records generally sit with Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers. We work Cape Coral from our Fort Myers office at 1825 Colonial Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33907, and we do not publish an address here because we do not have one here.
