Insurance companies protect profits. Hastings Injury Law Firm protects injured victims.
Fight Back Against Insurance Company Tactics
Insurance companies begin building their defense immediately after an accident. Their goal is simple: pay you as little as possible. In St. Johns County, from St. Augustine to Ponte Vedra, the adjuster who sounds friendly on the phone works for the company — not for you.

Why Choose Hastings
When you're injured, you need more than a law firm that files paperwork. You need a legal team that knows how to push back against insurance companies and fight aggressively for every dollar you deserve.
We don't send demand letters and wait. We build your case to win and put the insurance company on the defensive from day one.
Brett has 25+ years of Northeast Florida courtroom experience. Carriers settle higher when they know your lawyer will try the case.
We pursue the full value of your case — medical, wages, future care, and pain and suffering — not the fast, low check.
You talk to Brett's team — not a 1-800 phone bank or an out-of-state call center. This is not a case mill.
You will not be left wondering what's happening with your case. We keep you updated at every milestone.
Call and speak with a lawyer the same day. We're available 24/7 — because injuries don't wait for business hours.
Meet face-to-face with an attorney within one business day of your call. We move as fast as the insurance company does.
Contingency fee. No retainer, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices. You pay nothing unless we recover for you.
Demand Maximum Compensation
A serious injury can impact every part of your life — physically, emotionally, and financially. Hastings Injury Law Firm aggressively pursues compensation for:
Insurance companies look for ways to minimize payouts. We fight to recover the full value of your case.
Protect Your Financial Future
When the insurance company dug in, we didn't back down. Representative results from cases we've fought for Northeast Florida injury victims:
A driver near Ponte Vedra was hit and told the crash was partly his fault. The carrier opened with a lowball offer. We rebuilt the timeline, brought in the medical proof, and forced a seven-figure result instead of the quick check.
A serious fall caused by an unsafe condition. The insurer questioned the injuries for months. We prepared the case for trial; the offer climbed to a substantial settlement before a jury was ever seated.
A permanent injury with mounting future-care costs. The adjuster ignored the long-term picture. We documented every dollar of future treatment and recovered the full available coverage for the family.
Representative matters. Every case is different, and past results do not guarantee the outcome of your case — but they show what we are prepared to fight for. Specific case details and figures pending Brett's final review and approval.

After the Accident
What you do in the first hours and days after a St. Johns County accident can make or break your claim. Save this — or better, call us and we'll walk you through it on the phone.
Adrenaline masks pain. Soft-tissue injuries, concussions, and internal harm can hide for hours or days. Get evaluated the same day — "I felt fine" is the first thing the insurance company uses to deny a claim.
Photograph the scene, what caused your injury, and your injuries themselves. Get the names and numbers of any witnesses — they won't be there tomorrow. Request any police or incident report.
They will call within 48 hours, sound friendly, and record the call. Anything you say — even "I'm fine" — can be used to cut or deny your claim. Tell them your attorney will be in contact, then hang up.
Call 833-HIT-BACK. Speak with a lawyer the same day and meet with an attorney within one business day. Free consultation. If we take your case, you pay nothing unless we win.
Waiting Can Hurt Your Injury Claim
Critical evidence can disappear quickly after an accident. Insurance companies begin investigating immediately — and Florida law limits the amount of time you have to file a claim.
Insurance companies move fast after an accident. So do we.
