Why Neighbors Choose Us

Local expertise

Local knowledge makes a difference. We understand traffic patterns on I-10 and I-110, as well as seasonal beach travel to Gulf Breeze, and where cameras are likely to be located downtown. That context helps us find proof faster and frame the story in a way local adjusters respect.

Responsive support and clear communication

TBI symptoms can make paperwork and noise feel overwhelming. We set predictable updates, offer quiet meeting options, and keep checklists simple. You always know what just happened and what comes next, without jargon.

Transparent pricing or process overview

There is no upfront cost. Our fee comes from the recovery. We explain expenses before they occur and pursue only the work your case needs. If a hearing or deposition is scheduled, we practice together so each appearance feels manageable. We stand behind the service that carries the name Caldwell Wenzel & Asthana Injury Lawyers.

We often meet people near Blue Wahoos Stadium downtown and along the medical corridors by Pensacola State College. If travel is difficult, we can meet at your home or by secure video.

We also assist visitors who have been injured while traveling and require a local advocate to manage records, bills, and benefits upon their return home.

How To Get Started

Step 1: Call for a free consultation. Tell us what happened and the symptoms you are currently experiencing. We outline options and urgent steps, including preserving video and confirming coverage.

Step 2: Evidence and care timeline. We collect records, imaging, and specialist notes, and we build a timeline that connects the mechanism of injury to your symptoms. 

Step 3: Build and pursue the claim. We collaborate with experts to understand how the injury occurred and its impact on daily life and work. We calculate damages allowed by Florida law and push for a fair resolution. If necessary, we file suit and proceed with discovery.

Fees, Scheduling, and Availability

We work on a contingency fee basis, so no upfront payment is required. Timelines vary with treatment length, medical reviews, and court calendars. We schedule check-ins after key milestones, such as record collection, expert analysis, and mediation dates. If bright lights or noise trigger symptoms, we adjust the meeting formats and pace to ensure communication remains comfortable.

Clear Answers to the Questions Pensacola Families Ask Most

How is a TBI documented for a claim? Consistent medical visits, imaging when ordered, and detailed symptom tracking are key. Keep a simple journal of headaches, balance issues, or memory changes. Share updates with your providers and bring summaries to appointments so that your records accurately reflect the day-to-day impacts.

What local resources are available to help after a TBI? Florida offers coordinated support for eligible residents through the Florida Brain and Spinal Cord Injury Program. This resource outlines services and contacts that may support rehabilitation and community reintegration.

Where do severe injuries receive emergency care? Pensacola has hospital resources for trauma care. For example, Ascension Sacred Heart operates a Level II trauma center in Pensacola, providing emergency services and critical care. We coordinate with providers to obtain records and confirm follow-up needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have to file a TBI claim in Pensacola

Florida law sets strict timelines for personal injury claims, often two years from the date of injury. Some notice rules can be shorter. The safest approach is to contact a lawyer promptly so that evidence is preserved and scheduling stays on track, allowing you to focus on your care.

I felt fine at first, but symptoms started days later. Is it too late to seek help?

It is common for TBI symptoms to appear over time. Seek medical attention and describe the mechanism of injury. Continue follow-up and document changes. We gather records and correlate onset and progression using provider notes and imaging ordered by your doctors.

What if I had a prior concussion or migraine history?

Preexisting conditions do not end your claim. We review prior records to distinguish baseline from new impairments. Clear documentation helps illustrate how this incident exacerbated symptoms or introduced new limitations that impact work, school, or daily life.

Can I recover for lost wages if I am unable to tolerate screens or noise?

Yes, lost earnings and loss of earning capacity may be part of a claim, provided records and opinions support them. We work with employers and, when necessary, vocational or neuropsychology experts to connect job tasks to limitations and project future impact.

Will I have to go to court?

Many cases resolve through negotiation or mediation. If litigation is required, we prepare you for each step and keep you informed about schedules. When testimony is needed, we rehearse key points and arrange accommodations that minimize symptom triggers during proceedings.
