Donaldson & Weston has secured a $2 million settlement in a premises liability case, one measure of the firm’s capacity to take on high-value personal injury claims in Southwest Florida.
Introduction
Operating from 3949 Evans Avenue, Suite 205, Fort Myers, FL 33901, Donaldson & Weston handles personal injury cases across a significant stretch of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

The firm can be reached at 239-510-9009 or 727-513-3247.
Free consultations are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and the firm works on a contingency fee basis. Clients pay no legal fees unless the firm recovers compensation on their behalf.
Practice Areas
Premises Liability
Property owners in Florida carry a legal duty to maintain safe premises for those who enter. When that duty goes unmet and someone is injured, premises liability law provides a path to compensation. Florida sets a four-year statute of limitations for these claims, giving injured parties time to investigate and build a case, but that window is finite and delays can affect the availability of evidence.
Donaldson & Weston handles slip and fall accidents, inadequate security claims, dog bite injuries, and swimming pool accidents under its premises liability practice. The firm’s $2 million settlement in a premises liability case illustrates the potential value of these claims when the facts and legal analysis support a strong demand.
Fort Myers Car Accidents
Fort Myers roads present specific risks that the firm’s attorneys understand from local practice. Dangerous intersections including 20th Street and US Highway 1, 8th Street and State Road 60, and US-1 and Airport Groves Road have generated accident claims the firm has handled.
Indian River County recorded 2,201 accidents in 2023, resulting in 1,488 injuries and 19 deaths. These numbers reflect a broader pattern of accident frequency in Southwest Florida that keeps premises and auto claims active throughout the region.
Florida operates a no-fault insurance system requiring Personal Injury Protection coverage. Victims seeking compensation beyond their PIP limits must meet a serious injury threshold, a legal hurdle the firm helps clients navigate. Once that threshold is met, the firm pursues damages for medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repairs, pain and suffering, and wrongful death claims within Florida’s four-year statute of limitations.
Largo Car Accidents
The firm’s practice extends to the Largo area, where it handles whiplash injuries, broken bones, head injuries, back injuries, and soft tissue damage from motor vehicle accidents. Wrongful death cases arising from car accidents fall under a two-year statute of limitations, a shorter window that makes early engagement with an attorney important.
The firm investigates rear-end collisions, drunk driving accidents, distracted driving incidents, and hit-and-run cases in this region. Each category carries different investigative requirements and liability considerations that shape how the firm builds each case.
Additional Practice Areas
Beyond the core auto accident and premises liability work, Donaldson & Weston handles motorcycle accidents, truck collisions, and workers compensation claims throughout its Southwest Florida service area.
Location and Service Area
Donaldson & Weston’s main office is in Fort Myers at 3949 Evans Avenue, Suite 205, Fort Myers, FL 33901. Additional offices in Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, Naples, and Port Charlotte extend coverage across Lee, Collier, Charlotte, and surrounding counties.

Client Focus
The firm’s 24/7 consultation availability recognizes that accidents happen at all hours and that the period immediately after an injury is often when legal decisions carry the most weight. Connecting with an attorney quickly after an accident, before statements are given to insurance companies or evidence begins to deteriorate, can significantly affect case outcomes.
The contingency fee structure removes the financial barrier that might otherwise discourage injury victims from seeking legal help. Clients whose injuries have already disrupted their income and accumulated medical bills can access full representation without paying anything upfront.
