Destin Personal Injury Lawyer
Injury claims for Destin residents and visitors, handled from our Niceville office across the bay
After an Injury in Destin
Destin traffic moves along U.S. 98 and over the Mid-Bay Bridge, the 3.6-mile toll bridge across Choctawhatchee Bay that links Destin to Niceville. Many of the drivers on those roads are visitors who do not know them, and a visitor hurt in Destin usually goes home to another state before the claim is resolved.
Ricky Dayaram Law handles Destin claims for residents and for visitors: the crash report, the treating providers here and at home, the insurance policies on both sides, and the negotiation, usually without the injured person having to travel back; a hearing can still require a trip.
Our office is at 135 E John Sims Pkwy in Niceville; we represent clients from Destin in Okaloosa County injury claims. Destin is about 26 minutes from the office over the Mid-Bay Bridge, and out-of-state clients are handled by phone, video and email.
