The state’s tourism marketing agency estimates that more than 80 million people visit Florida each year. Our miles of beautiful beaches, sparkling Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean waters, and acres of parks and nature preserves offer abundant venues for outdoor enthusiasts. For those who like the excitement of world-class theme parks and attractions, Florida offers everything from Walt Disney World to SeaWorld to Kennedy Space Center. Millions of visitors also find their way to our Southwest Florida communities and beaches every year. Local residents embrace tourists and the economic benefits they bring. But if you’re visiting an unfamiliar area, driving and navigating may prove challenging. You could find yourself the victim of a traffic accident, or you could suffer injuries while visiting a store, restaurant, hotel or attraction.

When visitors to Fort Myers, Naples or other communities in our area suffer injuries, the personal injury lawyers at Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, Attorneys for the Injured, are the professionals they turn to for help. Our firm knows how quickly the vacation of a lifetime can turn into a nightmare if you’ve been hurt in a car accident or other mishap.

At Associates and Bruce L. Scheiner, we know that Southwest Florida’s abundance of attractions, sports venues, performing arts centers, museums, beaches, and shops are popular sites for visitors from around the globe.
