Naples Personal Injury Lawyer
Naples doubles in population in season, and the crash pattern doubles with it: the same intersections carry far more traffic between roughly January and April. We handle Naples claims from our Fort Myers office, and a case arising here is filed in the Collier County Courthouse in Naples. Call 954-522-5800 and speak to a lawyer about what happened. The consultation is free and you pay nothing unless we win.
Florida shortened the deadline to file most injury lawsuits from four years to two years for accidents on or after March 24, 2023 (HB 837, amending Fla. Stat. § 95.11). Accidents before that date still carry the four-year deadline.
What we see in Naples
The east-west roads, Pine Ridge Road, Immokalee Road, Golden Gate Parkway and Vanderbilt Beach Road, carry traffic from I-75 to the coast, and they cross US-41 at signals that were sized for the off-season. In season those intersections back up and the collisions shift from occasional to constant. A meaningful share of the drivers involved are seasonal residents or visitors, which raises a practical problem: by the time a claim is being worked in the summer, the other driver and any witnesses may have left the state.
That makes locking down evidence early more important here than almost anywhere. Statements taken while people are still in Collier County are worth far more than an attempt to find them in another state months later. Naples also has a large golf cart and low-speed vehicle presence within communities, and a low-speed vehicle collision on a public road is treated as a motor vehicle case with the insurance questions that follow.
Claims we handle from Naples
- In-season collisions where US-41 crosses Pine Ridge, Immokalee and Golden Gate
- Cases where the at-fault driver or the witnesses are seasonal residents
- Golf cart and low-speed vehicle injuries inside communities
- Cyclist and pedestrian claims on the coastal and Gulf Shore routes
Where a Naples case is handled
Naples is in Collier County, so a suit is filed in the Collier County Courthouse in Naples, in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit. The roads these claims come from are US-41 and the Tamiami Trail, I-75, Airport-Pulling Road, Pine Ridge Road, Immokalee Road and Golden Gate Parkway, and where an injury needed trauma care the records generally sit with Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers. We work Naples from our Fort Myers office at 1825 Colonial Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33907, and we do not publish an address here because we do not have one here.

The driver who hit me lives out of state. Does that complicate things?
It complicates gathering evidence rather than the claim itself. Florida courts have jurisdiction over someone who caused a crash here, and their insurer handles it wherever they live. What gets harder is reaching witnesses and taking statements once everyone has gone home for the summer. That is the practical reason to start a Naples case while the people involved are still in the county rather than waiting.
Do you have an office in Naples?
No, and we would rather say so than imply otherwise. We serve Naples from our Fort Myers office at 1825 Colonial Blvd, Fort Myers, FL 33907, which is where the lawyer handling your case sits. It changes nothing about the claim: a Naples injury is filed in the Collier County Courthouse in Naples either way, and the first conversation costs you nothing wherever you are.
Which court hears a Naples injury case?
the Collier County Courthouse in Naples, in the Twentieth Judicial Circuit. Claims up to $50,000 are heard in county court and larger claims go to circuit court. If the injury was serious enough for trauma care, the records that matter most usually sit with Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers.
The questions that apply to any Florida claim, deadlines, fees and shared fault, are on our injury claim FAQ.
