Being in an accident is no fun and I have went through several emotions. I can confidently say that no matter what mood I was in Cheryl stood out the most. No matter how bad I was feeling she always remained patient, helpful, and professional. She is a true Gem!! Ryan is also very honest, upfront, and I was satisfied with my results. I would recommend Cardoso Law to anyone needing an attorney for criminal or injury.

Ryan Cardoso was our lawyer in a criminal matter. He was very knowledgeable in the law, would return our phones calls, and would keep us informed on what had transpired during the time from our meeting or last phone call. Mr. Cardoso is very pleasant to talk with, very friendly, and very customer oriented. We would use Mr. Cardoso again if any legal issues arise. It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Cardoso and have him represent our family.

Frequently Asked Questions

You Have Questions.
We Have Answers.

Why do I need a car accident lawyer after a car accident in Pensacola?

We are here to make sure you get the compensation you deserve. We protect you from insurance adjusters who actively try to minimize your injuries and underpay your claim. Recent research by Martindale-Nolo found that injury victims with legal representation recover nearly three times more money than those who handle insurers on their own, even after paying attorney fees.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida?

You must file a personal injury lawsuit within two years from the date of your crash. This is a strict deadline, and the courts won’t hear cases that aren’t filed in time.

What happens if I am partly at fault for my Pensacola car crash?

You may still be able to recover damages even if you share some blame for the collision. Florida uses a modified comparative negligence system, meaning the court reduces your compensation by the percentage of fault assigned to you. We are here to stop insurance companies from exploiting this loophole and to protect your rights.

How much does it cost to hire Cardoso Law for my accident claim?

You pay zero upfront costs for us to start your case. We only collect attorney fees if we successfully recover compensation for your injuries. If we do not win your case, you owe us nothing.

Do I have to use my own auto insurance for medical bills?

Your PIP policy pays for your initial medical treatments up to a certain limit, regardless of fault. If your injuries exceed this limit, your attorney may pursue the at-fault driver for additional compensation.

I was visiting Florida when my accident occurred. Can you still represent me?

We frequently guide out-of-state drivers through the process of pursuing compensation in Florida. We understand state and local statutes, and we want to make things right for you, regardless of where you live.
