I’ve seen their playbook. Here’s what they do.
The same four moves, on almost every claim — designed to pay you less. Knowing them is the difference between a settlement and a real recovery.
Delay
Drag it out until evidence fades and you’re desperate enough to take less.
Deny
Use a gap in treatment or your past to argue you weren’t really hurt.
Lowball
Send a fast check before your doctors know the full picture, to close the file.
Wait you out
Count on you not knowing Florida’s deadlines — and missing them.
“When an adjuster tries to minimize your claim, I’ve already seen that move. When their lawyer cites a policy loophole, I probably wrote a brief on it.”
However you were hurt
Don’t face the insurance company alone.
Whether it’s a crash, a fall, a defective product, or the loss of someone you love, an insurer is already working to defend against your claim. I spent most of my career as that insurer’s lawyer — now I’m yours, across all of Florida.
Offer vs. recovery
I don’t take their first offer.
Actual results from cases handled by the firm; the bicycle case recovery is confidential. Each case is different and past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.

Four steps that protect your claim.
Get medical care right away
Prompt treatment documents your injury. After a crash, Florida’s PIP rule can deny your bills if you wait past 14 days.
Preserve the evidence
Photograph the scene and your injuries. In a product case, store the product itself somewhere safe and dry as fast as possible.
Don’t give a statement or sign anything
A recorded statement is evidence, and a fast offer closes your case before you know its real value. Talk to me first.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire Galimidi Law?
The consultation is free, and the firm works on a contingency fee. You pay no attorney fees or costs unless the firm recovers money for you.

Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. The firm handles cases in English and Spanish and represents injured clients throughout Florida.

What makes Galimidi Law different from other injury firms?
For nearly two decades I was an insurance-defense attorney, representing the insurance companies and large corporations. Now I use that inside knowledge for injured people, and you work directly with me, a senior trial attorney, not a case manager.

What areas of Florida do you serve?
Galimidi Law is based in downtown Miami and represents injured people throughout Florida, including visitors from out of state who were injured here.
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If someone else's negligence caused your injury, you may have a claim. The best way to find out is a free consultation, where I will review what happened and tell you honestly whether you have a case.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?
For most negligence claims the deadline is two years from the date of injury, and it can be shorter when a government entity is involved. Missing it usually ends the case regardless of fault, so it is best to speak with a lawyer early.

Should I give the insurance adjuster a recorded statement?
Not before speaking with your own attorney. Anything you say on a recorded call becomes evidence, and routine-sounding questions are often used later to minimize your claim. Having spent nearly two decades on the insurance side, I know how they are used.
Will my case have to go to court?
Many cases settle, but insurers tend to pay fairly only when they know you are prepared to try the case. As a former defense attorney and trial lawyer, I prepare every case as if it will go to verdict.
What types of cases does Galimidi Law handle?
Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, pedestrian, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), bus, boat, and aviation accidents, slip-and-fall, short-term rental injuries, product liability, bad-faith insurance, and wrongful death, across Florida.
Does it matter if my lawyer actually goes to trial?
Yes. Insurers track which lawyers try cases and which settle for whatever is offered — and they price claims accordingly. Emanuel Galimidi spent nearly two decades on the defense side watching that happen, so every case here is prepared as if a jury will see it. Most cases still settle, but they settle for full value only when the insurer believes you'll walk into the courtroom.
