- Red Light Accident

When approaching an intersection with a green light, you assume that you are safe to proceed. Another driver facing a red light may not notice or choose to outright ignore the signal to stop.

- Hit-and-Run Accident

The goal of any personal injury claim handled by the attorneys at Downer, Walters & Mitchener, P.A. is to hold the responsible party accountable.

- Underinsured Motorist

In many car accidents, negligence does not stop at a driver being inattentive, impaired or reckless.

We also represent people on behalf of family members who suffered an accidental death in a trucking accident. We pursue fair compensation from the insurance companies. Although compensation cannot reverse the injuries or pain of losing a family member, it does ease financial burdens on the injured person and his or her family.

- Fatal Car Accident

The emotional impact of a fatal car accident cannot be discounted. A negligent driver operating their car or truck while impaired or inattentive has changed your life. While no amount of money will bring back your loved one, you and your family are still entitled to compensation for your loss.
