Introduction
Every partner at Martinez Manglardi holds membership in the Million Dollar Advocates Forum, an organization that limits membership to attorneys who have won million and multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements. That qualification applies across the entire partnership, not only the firm founders. Martinez Manglardi has served Florida since 1988, with full-service offices in Orlando, Kissimmee, Apopka, Palm Bay, Ocala, and Davenport, reachable at 407-846-2240.
The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements for Florida clients, including a 25 million dollar settlement, multiple 6 million dollar wrongful death settlements, and numerous additional multi-million dollar recoveries. Practice areas span personal injury, workers compensation, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and negligence-based claims across Orange County, Seminole County, Osceola County, Polk County, and Brevard County.
Practice Areas
Transportation Accidents
Motor vehicle accident cases are the foundational practice area for the firm. Martinez Manglardi handles car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, and public transportation injuries throughout Florida. Commercial truck cases receive comprehensive investigation, examining driver records, carrier regulatory compliance, maintenance histories, and load documentation to identify every responsible party in often complex liability chains.
Motorcycle accident cases require specific attention because of the severity of injuries riders suffer and the tendency of insurance companies to assign fault to the motorcyclist absent strong counter-evidence. Drunk driving cases, where the at-fault driver conduct may support both compensatory and punitive damages, are also within the transportation accident practice.
Medical Malpractice and Birth Injuries
Medical negligence claims require attorneys capable of analyzing complex clinical evidence and working effectively with expert witnesses. The firm handles hospital errors, doctor negligence, misdiagnosis, medication errors, birth injuries, and medical device recalls.
Birth injury cases hold a specific place in the practice. Approximately 27 of every 1,000 births in the United States result in birth injury. Errors during labor induction, Cesarean section procedures, and delivery itself are among the most common preventable causes. The firm represents families pursuing accountability for birth injuries, with resources recovered directed toward the long-term care needs the injury creates.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims provide a legal path for families who have lost a loved one through negligence or deliberate misconduct. The firm has obtained multiple 6 million dollar wrongful death settlements, reflecting both the complexity of these cases and the ability to secure meaningful compensation for surviving family members.
Premises Liability
Slip and fall cases, amusement park ride injuries, and other premises liability claims address injuries caused by property owner negligence. Florida is home to major theme parks and entertainment venues, and the firm handles injuries that occur in commercial entertainment settings. These cases require investigation into ride design, maintenance records, and operational procedures.
Nursing Home Abuse and Workers Compensation
Nursing home abuse and neglect cases require detailed investigation of facility records, staffing ratios, incident documentation, and regulatory compliance. Workers compensation representation covers Florida employees injured on the job, from initial claim filing through disputed benefits proceedings and, where applicable, third-party injury claims against non-employer parties.
