When tragedy strikes, life changes in an instant. One minute you’re driving your kids to
soccer practice or walking through the grocery store and the next, you’re dealing with
pain, confusion, and a growing stack of medical bills. For many Florida families, this
isn’t just hypothetical, it’s reality.
That’s exactly what happened to the Martinez family (not their real names) in Fort
Myers. After being rear-ended at a red light, Maria Martinez suffered a neck injury that
required ongoing physical therapy. Her husband, a schoolteacher, had no idea where to
begin. They were worried about medical costs, time off work, and whether they'd be
able to hold the at-fault driver accountable.
“I thought I could just call the insurance company, and they'd help,” Maria said. “But
they kept offering less than half of what my medical bills were. That’s when we realized
we needed legal help.”
But how do you choose the right personal injury attorney? With so many options,
billboards, and websites out there, it’s hard to know who to trust. Ask yourself: Is the
guy on television a great attorney or a great marketer? If you don’t know or cannot
answer the question, it’s time to do some digging. Fortunately, there are five key things
every family should look for and understanding them can make all the difference.
1. Experience in Personal Injury Law
The most important thing? Choose a lawyer who specializes in personal injury law, not
just someone who dabbles in it. Attorneys with years of experience in this field
understand the complexities of personal injury cases, from car accidents to slip and falls
to wrongful death claims.
The Johnson family in Tampa learned this the hard way. After their teenage son was
hit by a distracted driver, they hired a general-practice attorney recommended by a
friend. Months went by, and the case stalled.
Eventually, they turned to The Dellutri Law Group, a firm with decades of experience in
personal injury law. Within weeks, things turned around. The Dellutri team knew how to
gather expert testimony, negotiate with insurers, and file strategically. The Johnsons
finally received a fair settlement that covered their son’s care and recovery.
2. Reputation and Reviews
Would you trust a restaurant with one star and dozens of complaints? Of course not.
The same logic applies to attorneys.
Look for a firm with a strong reputation and outstanding reviews. With over 1,300
five-star reviews, The Dellutri Law Group has earned the trust of families across
Florida. Their clients consistently praise their compassion, responsiveness, and most
importantly, results.
Reputation isn’t just about winning cases; it’s about treating people right. When you’re
recovering from trauma, that support matters.
3. Clear, Honest Communication
After her accident, Maria Martinez said one of her biggest frustrations was not knowing
what was going on. “With the first attorney we called, everything felt like a mystery.
We’d call and hear nothing for days. It just made the stress worse.”
With Dellutri, it was different. “They called us back within hours. They explained every
step. We always knew what was happening, and we never felt alone.”
That’s what you want, an attorney who speaks plainly, answers questions, and keeps
you informed. If you leave a consultation feeling confused or rushed, that’s a red flag.
4. Resources to Fight for You
Some cases are simple. Others? Not so much. If your case involves serious injuries,
disputed liability, or corporate defendants, you’ll need a firm with resources—access to
medical experts, accident reconstructionist, and investigators.
A well-resourced firm levels the playing field when powerful insurance companies try to
steamroll you.
5. Contingency-Based Fees
When you’re dealing with an injury, you shouldn’t have to worry about legal bills on top
of everything else. The best personal injury attorneys, including Dellutri, work on a
contingency basis, meaning you pay nothing unless you win or settle your case.
Make sure the fee structure is clear from the start. Transparency here is just as
important as skill.

Choosing the right attorney is about more than just paperwork. It’s about protecting
your family, your finances, and your future.

compensation they deserve. With a compassionate approach, deep experience, and
