Experienced Fernandina Beach Personal Injury Attorneys
Handling Serious Injury and Death Cases Since 1974
Fernandina Beach and especially Amelia Island are year-round destinations for travelers, seasonal residents and vacationers looking for a relaxing part of Old Florida. With many upscale hotels, golf courses and water access amenities, it’s no wonder we have become more than just a suburban bedroom community to adjacent Jacksonville.
For these and many other reasons, like good schools, a thriving business community and a life-choice synonymous with seashore living, Fernandina Beach is the perfect place for residents to live, raise families and retire. This area has seen tremendous growth over the past years and with it comes an increased number of accidents with injuries.

Why Do You Need an Experienced Personal Injury Attorney?
At Terrell Hogan our personal injury attorneys understand the impact that a death or serious injury can have on a person and/or a family. We understand the pain and suffering of losing the ability to work, and the stress created from mounting medical bills and lost time at work. We’ve worked with thousands of clients to help them through the legal system of filing and defending claims when these types of injuries occur.
Our goal is to make sure you understand the legal process and that you stay informed every step of the way. This helps take away some of the stress related to filing a personal injury claim. Our personal injury attorneys operate on a contingency fee basis: meaning we don’t get paid anything until we win the case for you.
To win your case, our attorneys work with many different types of professionals to help prove that the defendants are responsible for your injuries or even the death of a loved one. We work with accident investigators and reconstruction experts, financial and medical specialists to show how much damage has been done to you and your property.
We also coordinate with your medical team and independent doctors, when necessary, to verify the extent of your injuries, the ongoing treatment you may need, and how those injuries are affecting yours and your family’s quality of life.
This extent of preparation helps us put more pressure on the insurance companies to settle cases by ensuring that we have thoroughly prepared a case if we have to go to trial.

Settlement or Trial?
At Terrell Hogan we have always prepared every serious injury case for trial in the event we cannot reach a fair settlement in your case. Insurance companies know the lawyers who are capable and willing to take your case to court. We have exceptionally skilled trial attorneys who would love nothing better than to take your case in front of a jury when the insurance company has low-balled an offer and refuses to award you fair and just compensation for your injuries.
Going to trial and winning at trial usually means an increased in the settlement value and that is what insurance companies are most afraid of. But the majority of personal injury cases actually settle before trial. The question is: are you getting the right legal counsel to decide what is a fair offer and what is not?
A Fair Settlement is No Accident and at Terrell Hogan our reputation for holding negligent parties responsible for their careless actions is a matter of record.
The bottom line is that you decide whether to accept the settlement offer or demand we let a jury of your peers decide what is fair and just compensation for your injuries. We are here to advise and legally represent your best interests in these matters.
