Former insurance-defense attorney · All of Florida
Two decades defending insurance companies taught me how they build their case against yours. Now I use that playbook for you.

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.
Drag it out until evidence fades and you’re desperate enough to take less.
Use a gap in treatment or your past to argue you weren’t really hurt.
Send a fast check before your doctors know the full picture, to close the file.
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
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. For 20 years, I was that insurer’s lawyer — now I’m yours, across all of Florida.
Offer vs. recovery
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.
See all case results →After you’re injured
Prompt treatment documents your injury. After a crash, Florida’s PIP rule can deny your bills if you wait past 14 days.
Photograph the scene and your injuries. In a product case, store the product itself somewhere safe and dry as fast as possible.
A recorded statement is evidence, and a fast offer closes your case before you know its real value. Talk to me first.
I deal with the insurance company so you can focus on healing.

Questions
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.
Yes. The firm handles cases in English and Spanish and represents injured clients throughout Florida.
For more than 20 years 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.
Galimidi Law is based in downtown Miami and represents injured people throughout Florida, including visitors from out of state who were injured here.
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.
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.
Not before speaking with your own attorney. A recorded statement is evidence, and routine-sounding questions are often used later to minimize your claim. Having spent 20 years on the insurance side, I know how they are used.
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.
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.
Yes. Insurers track which lawyers try cases and which settle for whatever is offered — and they price claims accordingly. Emanuel Galimidi spent 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.
