Brett Hastings grew up in Jacksonville Beach and is an injury lawyer dedicated to helping people whose lives have been changed by serious injuries. He focuses his practice on car accidents, trucking accidents, and wrongful death cases where families need real guidance, strong advocacy, and results.

With over 25 years of legal experience, Brett began his career as a prosecutor, gaining valuable courtroom experience and learning how to build strong cases from the ground up. He later worked as an insurance defense lawyer, where he saw firsthand how insurance companies evaluate claims, delay cases, and try to reduce payouts. Today, he uses that experience from both sides to stay one step ahead and fight for the full compensation his clients deserve.

Brett earned both his undergraduate degree and his law degree from the University of Florida, where he built the foundation for a career focused on advocacy and service.

Brett’s work is personal. He was raised by a single mother, Joanne Hastings, an elementary school teacher who spent 37 years in Duval County Public Schools. She taught him the importance of service, integrity, and standing up for others. That foundation shapes how Brett practices law today. He knows that for many families—especially those living paycheck to paycheck—an injury can impact every part of life, from health to financial stability.

An avid fisherman and surfer, Brett practices exclusively in Florida’s coastal communities, including Brevard, Duval, St. Johns, Flagler, and Volusia Counties. He is active in these communities because he genuinely cares about the people who live and work there and is committed to protecting them when they need it most.

Brett and his team focus on helping good people recover, rebuild, and move forward after serious accidents. From the first call through resolution, he stands beside his clients and fights to make sure they are treated fairly every step of the way.

When you’ve been hit in a car accident or suffered a serious injury, you need someone who knows how to fight and who actually cares.
