What we do for you
When you hire Miller & Jacobs, we gather the proof, deal with the insurers, and explain the choices you need to make. Here is where that work starts.
We obtain available reports, contact witnesses, and seek relevant video before it disappears. We examine the driver’s actions and the crossing itself so your claim rests on evidence.
We review the insurance policies, make the claim, and respond to the adjusters. We explain requests, releases, and settlement offers before you decide what to sign.
We gather medical and pay records, show how the injury affects your life, and seek a fair settlement based on the facts. If talks do not resolve the case, we discuss the next legal step with you.
Help with insurance and medical bills
You may have auto-insurance benefits even though you were walking. We check the policies that may cover you, find possible sources of payment, and explain their limits.
Personal injury protection (PIP) may cover you through your own policy or a policy in your household. The striking vehicle’s PIP may be another route for some Florida residents. To use that route, you must not own a vehicle that requires PIP and must have no other qualifying PIP benefits. We check these rules before relying on that coverage.
We look at who caused the crash and which policies may pay for the harm. Then we use the evidence to seek payment for your losses. We explain any gaps in the available coverage.
We check for uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. This may help when the driver has too little insurance or cannot be found. Whether it covers you depends on the policy.
To qualify for Florida PIP benefits, you must get qualifying initial medical care within 14 days of the crash. Get care promptly. Tell us when you were first treated so we can check that rule.
PIP eligibility and treatment requirements: Florida Statute § 627.736.
Daily support and lost independence belong in the conversation about recovery.
Getting to work. Picking up your child. Walking without someone’s help. We want to understand what getting better means to you.
Medical bills tell only part of the story. We review your care, missed work, and the help you now need. Those details shape the claim we build for you.
We document care costs, lost pay, and future needs supported by your doctors. Receipts, pay records, and medical findings help show the loss.
Florida law can limit claims for pain and suffering after a motor-vehicle crash. We check whether your injury meets the legal test. A permanent injury or significant permanent scarring may meet that test.
Motor-vehicle injury threshold: Florida Statute § 627.737. See also our guidance on Orlando brain injury claims.

When the driver or insurer blames you
What an insurer says about the crash is not the whole story. We examine the scene, the driver’s actions, and the records to help show what happened.
Florida’s modified comparative-fault rule applies to most negligence claims. Under that rule, you cannot recover damages if you are more than 50% at fault. At 50% or less, your share of fault reduces your damages. We review the proof behind each claim of fault.
We seek video, witness accounts, and signal records to check when you crossed and when the vehicle turned.
We review lighting, blocked views, stopped cars, and nearby entrances to understand what the driver could see.
We compare that account with the point of impact and vehicle damage. When needed, we seek expert help to work out how the crash happened.
An Orlando team you can reach
Our Orlando personal injury practice helps people injured while crossing streets, walking through parking areas, or approaching a pickup. A driveway off International Drive and a downtown intersection may lead to different witnesses and records. We investigate the location that matters to your case.
If you were visiting Orlando and have returned home, we can begin by phone. We help gather records from your care in Florida and back home. We explain which steps need your input.
The experience behind your claim
Partners Mark J. Miller and Rick S. Jacobs are former prosecutors. Their years of trial work inform how we assess the facts and prepare your claim.
We use that experience to challenge the insurer’s position and prepare for what your case may need next. We explain your options so you can make choices with confidence.

Before you hire us
We review the crash, check who was involved, and start gathering records to support your claim. We explain what we need from you and handle the legal and insurance work we agree to take on. You make key choices, including whether to accept a settlement.
Once we represent you on the claim, we speak with the adjusters and explain requests for statements, records, or signatures. Send us any request or deadline you receive. Your own policy may require you to cooperate. We help you respond so a request does not get missed.
We can look for the vehicle or driver and check which insurance may cover you. This includes any uninsured motorist coverage you may have. Reports, witnesses, nearby businesses, and photos can give us leads.
That depends on the case. We can handle many talks and documents by phone or online. Some steps, such as a medical exam, sworn testimony, or a hearing, may require you to take part. We explain what is needed and how to arrange it.
Yes. We review which vehicle caused the injury and whether a rideshare trip was active. Save the trip details and receipt if you have them. Those facts can affect the insurance analysis in an Orlando ridesharing accident.
The consultation is free. We do not charge an attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation. Before you hire us, we explain the fee agreement and case expenses. We also explain how fees, costs, and any claims for repayment of medical bills may affect the amount you receive.
