Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, is a family firm.

   Bruce and Cheryl Scheiner started the firm in 1971, following his graduation from the University of Miami School of Law. Both of them continue to work six and seven days a week alongside their son, Preston J. Scheiner, who joined the firm as an associate attorney in 2007.

   For four decades they have helped families deal with the unimaginable pain of the tragic injury or loss of a child. About 100 associate attorneys, paralegals, registered nurses, investigators, case managers, former insurance executives and journalists join a wide-ranging array of medical experts and other professionals in the awesome responsibility of seeking justice for children who have been seriously injured or killed by someone else's negligence.

   The serious injury or death of a child is an event that impacts the lives of the entire family. The injuries suffered by the child can have profound effects upon their physical, emotional and intellectual development and can stretch a family's emotional and financial well-being to the breaking point and beyond.

   It is very important to seek professional advice when handling injuries to a child and dealing with the possible long-term consequences.

   Children involved in accidents on someone else's property, occurrences involving lack of proper supervision, accidents involving pedestrians/bicycles and motor vehicles, trip and fall and/or slip and fall accidents, product liability matters, medical malpractice as well as many other cases may have the right to recover damages.

   The wrongful death of a child allows for parents of the deceased to seek compensation as long as the child was not married or legally emancipated.

   Since those under the age of eighteen do not have legal capacity to bring a lawsuit to court in their own name, it is the responsibility of the parent or legal guardian to protect the interests of their children.

   If your child has been seriously injured as a result of someone's negligence, please contact us to discuss your situation. We can arrange to visit your home or hospital room or meet with you at any of our Southwest Florida offices, including Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Sebring, Venice, Arcadia and Port Charlotte.

   We will review your rights and legal options for free and will shoulder the entire cost of building your case if we think we can help you seek justice. Because at Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Personal Injury Lawyers, you'll pay us nothing unless we win.
