Personal injury is all I do — and I do it personally
If someone else’s carelessness left you hurt, you deserve a lawyer who knows this area of law cold and gives your case his full attention. That’s the whole reason I built this practice.

Three things every injured Floridian should know
Personal injury law changed significantly in Florida in 2023. Here’s the short version of what now affects nearly every case.
You have two years
The deadline to file most injury lawsuits was shortened from four years to two. Miss it and your claim is usually barred.
51% bars recovery
Under modified comparative negligence, if you're found more than 50% at fault, you recover nothing. At 50% or less, your recovery is reduced by your share.
No-fault still applies to autos
Your own PIP coverage pays the first $10,000 of medical bills after a car crash — but only if you seek care within 14 days.
Why 90% of Claimants Get Shortchanged
Personal injury is an adversarial game. See how billboard mega-firms and insurance adjusters operate — versus the tactical precision of an ex-defense insider.
| Tactical Dimension | Billboard Mega-Firms | Insurance Company Playbook | The Kuveikis Law Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who actually handles your file? | Junior paralegals handling 200–300 files simultaneously. You rarely speak to a licensed lawyer. | Trained claims handlers who exploit disorganization and unreturned client calls. | 100% Steven Kuveikis. Every motion, negotiation, deposition, and strategy call is run by Steve directly. |
| Settlement Strategy | High-turnover "settlement mills" accept 40%–50% discounted offers quickly to pay overhead and ad spend. | Feed data into Colossus software that discounts soft tissue and disc injuries unless pushed to trial. | Ex-Defense Auditing: Steve builds trial-ready binders that prove exposure, forcing carriers to tender full policy limits. |
| Early Adjuster Contact | Slow intake allows adjusters to contact traumatized victims for recorded statements before representation starts. | Rushes to record leading statements designed to trick you into admitting partial fault under FL 51% rule. | Immediate Harassment Shield: Steve sends immediate formal representation notices silencing all adjuster calls instantly. |
| Trial Readiness | Many billboard firms never step into a courtroom; insurance adjusters know who will fold and who will litigate. | Tracks trial records of opposing counsel; pays less to lawyers known to be settlement-only. | 30+ Years Florida Bar Trial Veteran: Insurers know Steve will file suit and take depositions without hesitation. |
| Attorney Access | Routed through 1-800 call center operators, long holds, and rotating caseworkers. | Hopes client confusion causes missed medical appointments and gaps in treatment. | Direct Cellular Access: Clients receive Steve's direct phone number with real-time case updates. |

Common questions
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents; slip and fall and other premises-liability claims; negligent security; Uber, Lyft, and delivery-driver crashes; and wrongful death. Personal injury is the entire focus of my practice.
On a contingency fee. You pay nothing up front, and my fee comes out of the recovery only if I win. Your first consultation is always free.
It depends on the severity of your injuries and whether the insurer negotiates in good faith. Some cases resolve in months; more serious or contested cases take longer. I'll give you a realistic picture from the start.
No. I'm based in Jupiter and know Palm Beach County well, but I represent injured people throughout South Florida — and I'm licensed in both Florida and Georgia.
