Wrongful death claims also generally have a two-year deadline, and claims against government agencies have special notice requirements. Because deadlines vary, it is best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>How much does it cost to hire your firm?<\/summary><p>Your first consultation is free. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney&rsquo;s fee unless we recover money for you.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What if I was partly at fault for the accident?<\/summary><p>Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. If you are found 50% or less at fault, you can still recover damages, reduced by your share of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover. Do not assume you have no case. Let us review the facts.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do I need to see a doctor if I feel fine?<\/summary><p>Yes. Some injuries, like whiplash, concussions and internal injuries, may not show symptoms right away. Florida PIP coverage generally requires initial treatment within 14 days of a motor vehicle accident.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do I have to travel to Stuart to meet with a lawyer?<\/summary><p>No. You can meet with us at our Okeechobee office at 608 NW Park St, or we can talk by phone. Call (863) 532-HELP to schedule.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What is my personal injury case worth?<\/summary><p>Every case is different. Value depends on your medical expenses, lost income, the severity and permanence of your injuries, available insurance coverage and how the accident happened. We will give you an honest assessment during your free consultation.<\/p><\/details><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class='scl scl-sec' id='contact'><div class='scl-wrap'><div class='scl-eyebrow'>Visit or Call<\/div><h2>Our Okeechobee office<\/h2><div class='scl-office'><div class='scl-nap'><h3>Stone &amp; Capobianco<br>Okeechobee Office<\/h3><p><strong>608 NW Park St<br>Okeechobee, FL 34972<\/strong><\/p><p>Phone: <a href='tel:+18635324357' style='color:var(--scl-brass);font-weight:700'>(863) 532-HELP (4357)<\/a><\/p><p>Main office: 219 SE Ocean Blvd, Stuart, FL 34994<\/p><p style='margin-top:22px'><a class='scl-btn' href='https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/dir\/?api=1&amp;destination=608+NW+Park+St,+Okeechobee,+FL+34972' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Get Directions<\/a><\/p><h3 style='font-size:20px;margin-top:30px'>Areas we serve<\/h3><div class='scl-areas'><span>Okeechobee<\/span><span>Okeechobee County<\/span><span>Taylor Creek<\/span><span>Buckhead Ridge<\/span><span>Basinger<\/span><span>Fort Drum<\/span><span>Lakeport<\/span><span>Moore Haven<\/span><span>Glades County<\/span><span>Highlands County<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class='scl-map'><iframe title='Map to Stone &amp; Capobianco Okeechobee office' src='https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=608+NW+Park+St,+Okeechobee,+FL+34972&amp;output=embed' loading='lazy' referrerpolicy='no-referrer-when-downgrade'><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='scl scl-band'><div class='scl-wrap'><h2>Hurt in Okeechobee?
