With offices in Lake City and Jacksonville, Douglas & Douglas is the law firm you need when you have suffered a personal injury at the hands of someone else’s negligent behavior. Our personal injury lawyers have the big-city, big-firm experience necessary to handle cases of any size or complexity; we also practice in small towns throughout northern Florida and understand the importance of a personal touch to a successful and satisfactory outcome for our clients.

We Try More Cases

Most personal injury cases settle at some point and most injury victims never see the inside of a courtroom. But preparing a case for trial and being ready to go to court are critical to achieving the best result. Insurance companies don’t want to face a jury in a serious injury accident, so their motivation to settle depends a lot on your lawyer’s reputation for success in the courtroom. At Douglas & Douglas, our Jacksonville personal injury lawyers are known for taking cases to trial, with positive results. While we listen to your expectations and settle when appropriate, our team is ready and able to take your case all the way to a jury verdict when it is in your best interest to do so. Additionally, our lawyers have experience working for insurance company defense firms, negotiating and litigating from the other side. We know how they work, and we know how to appropriately value your claim both pre-suit and in litigation.
