Herman & Wells More than settling. Florida law firm specializing in Personal Injury, Insurance Disputes, Construction Defects and Disability Disputes.

Jason Herman and Cliff Wells provide clients with legal advice about insurance, present claims to insurance companies to maximize client recoveries, and represent clients in lawsuits against insurance companies for personal injuries, property damage, and all types of insurance coverage. We know how to advocate to insurance carriers to get claims paid. We are also trial lawyers. If an insurance company won’t do what’s fair and right, we litigate cases, through trial and appeal if necessary. We also pursue insurers in bad faith lawsuits.

If you’re in a lawsuit, at some point you’ll probably hear the word ā€œinterrogatories.ā€ It sounds intimidating, but it’s really just a list of written questions.

Here’s how it works. Each side serves the other with written questions, and each has 30 days to respond. Your answers are sworn, meaning you sign them and have them notarized, and from that point on they’re your answers in the case.

That matters because they can come back later. If you’re asked who has knowledge of your damage and you leave a name off, the insurance company can point that out when you testify. Everything in your written answers is fair game.

That’s why we do this together. We don’t hand you a blank form - we draft the answers as best we can, then work through them with you so you’re comfortable with every word before you sign.

Attorney Jason Herman walks through it in this "Words That Matter".

Can you work while you apply for Social Security Disability? It’s one of the questions we hear most.

In this video, disability attorney Bill Demas explains why the answer isn’t a simple yes or no. How much you earn and what kind of work you’re doing can both matter, and working in the wrong way can complicate your claim. If you’re not sure where you stand, reach out to our disability team before you make any decisions about your job.

Introducing a new series: What Your Insurance Letter Really Means.

Insurance letters are full of phrases that sound routine but carry real consequences. First up is ā€œactual cash value.ā€ If your hurricane claim letter says the insurance company will pay it, that may not be the full amount. Herman & Wells attorney Warren Duffy explains how the insurer figures out the cost to fix your home, depreciates that number, and pays you the depreciated amount. He also explains recoverable vs. non-recoverable depreciation, and why you may need to make repairs before getting the full amount.

Every claim is different, so this is general information and not legal advice about your situation. If you have questions about your claim, our team is here to help.

Got a phrase from your letter you’d like decoded? Drop it in the comments.

More people are coming to attorneys with cases partly prepared by AI, or with AI acting as a ā€œbackseat driverā€ alongside their lawyer.

It’s not a new problem. People have always taken legal advice from well-meaning friends and relatives. But AI is available 24/7, answers instantly, and tends to validate what you already think, which makes it feel more trustworthy than it should.

A few risks to know about:

* AI can’t always tell credible case law from a blog post.
* Without legal training, it’s hard to know what to ask or what context to include.
* In some courts, your AI search history can be subpoenaed, so your questions about your case’s strengths, weaknesses, and strategy could be seen by the other side.

If an AI answer sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If you have a legal issue, talk to a lawyer. And if you do use AI, be upfront with your attorney so everyone is working from the same information.
