Wesley, McGrail & Wesley, PLLC, in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, practices personal injury, workers' compensation, and Social Security Disability law. We serve cities throughout the Florida Panhandle, including Crestview, Defuniak Springs, Pensacola, Panama City, Navarre, Destin, Tallahassee Gulf Breeze, and Niceville.

Regardless of the strength of your personal injury or workers' compensation case, the insurance company will try to prevent or limit your claim. We handle all types of insurance claim and coverage disputes. We have the experience to fight insurance companies to get you the compensation you deserve.

Our practice areas include:

• Personal injury — Our firm represents individuals involved in controversies alleging a wrong or damage to another person, rights, reputation, or property resulting from events or activities such as automobile accidents, defective products, infliction of emotional distress, intentional misconduct, and negligence.
• Workers' compensation — Our attorneys represent employees who are injured on the job in claims for lost wages and medical treatment expenses against private industry and state and local government employers and their workers' compensation insurers. We handle issues dealing with defenses, fraud, subrogation, and appeals.
• Social Security Disability — Working through the maze of the Social Security System is confusing and frustrating. Our lawyers represent individuals who seek disability benefits and need the assistance of attorneys who understand this complex process. In a system heavy with rules, legislation, and procedures, those who require benefits can sometimes fall through the cracks. Our attorneys stay with your claim until it has been fully reviewed and, if necessary, appealed.
• Nursing home abuse and neglect — Our loved ones deserve the best we can offer, however, caregivers sometimes victimize elders. The growing number of elderly in our population has, unfortunately, provided our firm with experience in coping with nursing home abuse and neglect and other issues unique to elder law.
• Auto accidents —Accidents happen. Sometimes, you are injured through no fault of your own. The result can be lost wages, damage to personal property or worse. We have helped many injured victims win rightful and necessary compensation for auto accidents, boating accidents, trucking accidents, and pedestrian accidents.
• Medical malpractice — We are experienced in meritorious medical malpractice law and can help clients determine whether malpractice has occurred. Our firm maintains very close professional relationships with a broad array of medical providers in our area. As a result, we have resources pertaining to injury, medical terminology and treatment, and recovery.
• Products liability — We have years of experience representing individuals who have been injured as a result of an unsafe product that was designed, manufactured, sold, and/or furnished by a person or company. We assist those injured individuals in bringing their claims and being fairly compensated for their injuries.
• Employment law — Employment law covers a complex network of laws that controls how employers must treat employees, former employees, and applicants for employment. We have significant experience in interpreting and construing state and Federal statutes and case law in areas such as employment discrimination, affirmative action, sexual harassment, employee benefits, and whistleblower litigation as they relate to wrongful discharge and termination of employment.
• Litigation and appeals — We represent and advise clients who are or might become involved in a lawsuit or appeal because of a dispute, including prevention and settlement, in a variety of areas such as, personal injury, products liability, insurance claims, employment law, and criminal matters.
• Wage and hour violations — We handle wage and hour violations under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state violations. We commonly see employees who are subject to violations by not receiving over time pay or being misclassified as an exempt employee.
• Federal Tort Claims Act — Injuries caused by a federal agency, such as the U.S. Postal Service or the Veterans Administration, may entitle a victim to compensation. Claims under the FTCA are different from other personal injury lawsuits and must be handled with care to ensure a desirable result.
