The Law Office of Hugh James McDonnell is a professional, full-service law firm, located in the heart of Orlando, Florida. My Firm proudly serves the entire Central Florida area. Too often clients begin to see their relationship with their attorneys change to one where they feel they are working for their attorneys. Although my Firm is candid, aggressive, and a zealous representative of clients’ rights, we recognize that our job is working for you. With us, working for you is more than just a slogan.

Whether your case is an unfortunate automobile accident or complicated medical malpractice, I will take your case through preparation, mediation and to trial, if necessary. My Firm takes pride in providing personal contact and attention to our clients. We will guide you through the legal process and provide you with all the necessary information you may require.

Our attorneys, investigators, and support staff all work together for you, the client.  As an experienced Orlando Personal Injury Attorney, I represent clients throughout Florida in a wide range of injury matters, including:

• Personal Injury
• Wrongful Death
• Auto Injuries
• Motorcycle Accidents
• Boating Accidents
• Product Liability
• Slip & Falls
• Catastrophic Injury
• Medical Malpractice
• Negligence
• Nursing Home Neglect / Abuse
• Dog Bites
• Boating Accidents
• Bicycle Accidents
• Insurance Claims

In the claims process after a wrongful death has occurred, insurance companies hold a big advantage over the surviving family members of a deceased accident victim. Armed with high-priced attorneys, a battery of legal and forensic experts and extensive resources they use to investigate and handle claims, insurance carriers often bully or intimidate families of wrongful death accident victims into taking much smaller settlements than they deserve, and they make it extremely difficult for unrepresented wrongful death survivors who try to challenge the settlement process on their own.

As a skilled Orlando Personal Injury Attorney, I will level the playing field for you. I understand the claims process and also have the resources necessary to retain the legal and forensic experts you need in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

Because the laws of negligence and wrongful death cases are complex, a great number of attorneys typically don't understand the claims process, coverage, exclusions and interpretations of the insurance process. Insurance company adjusters can get away with paying less on the wrongful death claim than the surviving family members deserve under the law, and even going so far as to bully the wrongful death survivors (and their less experienced attorneys, in some cases) into taking a low settlement offer. As a result, serious accident victims often end up settling for much less than what Florida law provides.

My Firm does not require you to pay a lawyer's fee up front. If I take your personal injury or wrongful death case I will provide the resources to get copies of your medical documentation, hire expert witnesses, file your lawsuit and take depositions and other necessary steps in claiming damages for your injuries. I earn my fee from the work I do in your case on a "contingency" basis," which means I deduct the expenses and legal fees from the insurance company payment at the end of your case. If I do not win your case, you do not pay a fee.
