What We Do
We focus exclusively on catastrophic injury and insurance bad faith — the most complex civil litigation in Florida.
Unlike general practice law firms, Swope, Rodante P.A. deliberately limits its practice to catastrophic injury and insurance bad faith cases. This focused approach has allowed our attorneys to develop unparalleled depth of expertise — the kind of mastery that wins cases other firms declare unwinnable.
01
When insurers won't pay, we make them.
Insurance companies have a legal duty to act in good faith toward their policyholders and claimants. When they breach this duty — by unreasonably denying claims, delaying payment, or offering far less than a claim is worth — they can be held liable for "bad faith."
Swope, Rodante P.A. is one of Florida's most recognized insurance bad faith law firms. We handle both first-party bad faith (your own insurer) and third-party bad faith (the at-fault party's insurer), and we have secured some of the largest insurance bad faith verdicts in Florida history.
02
Holding medical professionals to the highest standard.
When doctors, nurses, hospitals, or other medical providers fail to meet the standard of care and a patient is harmed as a result, they must be held accountable. Medical malpractice cases are among the most complex in civil litigation — they require in-depth medical knowledge, expert witnesses, and experienced trial attorneys.
Our attorneys handle the full spectrum of medical malpractice cases, including surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication errors, and birth injuries. We work with top medical experts to build compelling cases that demonstrate exactly how negligence caused your injury.
03
Maximum compensation for serious collision injuries.
Not every car accident case needs a specialized catastrophic injury firm — but when serious or life-altering injuries result, having the right legal team is critical. We handle auto, truck, motorcycle, and other serious vehicle accident cases where insurance companies are fighting hard to minimize your payout.
Commercial truck accidents in particular involve complex layers of liability — the driver, the trucking company, the cargo loader, equipment manufacturers — all of which we expertly navigate.
04
Making manufacturers answer for dangerous products.
When a defective or dangerous product causes serious injury, the manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of that product can and should be held responsible. Product liability cases often involve going up against large, well-funded corporations with teams of defense attorneys — and that's exactly the fight we're built for.
05
Justice for families who have lost a loved one.
No amount of money can bring back a loved one, but a wrongful death claim can provide financial security for grieving families and hold the responsible parties accountable. Florida law allows the survivors of someone killed through negligence or wrongful conduct to seek compensation.
We handle wrongful death cases stemming from all types of negligence — car accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, workplace accidents, and more.
06
Civil justice for survivors.
Beyond criminal prosecution, civil litigation can provide survivors of child abuse and sexual assault with a path to justice and financial accountability. We pursue civil claims against perpetrators, institutions, and organizations that knew or should have known about abuse and failed to stop it.
These cases demand sensitivity, discretion, and fierce advocacy. Our attorneys handle them with both compassion and determination.
07
Fighting for victims of life-changing injuries.
Catastrophic injuries — those that permanently impair a person's ability to work, perform daily tasks, or enjoy life — require extraordinary legal representation. The financial needs of catastrophically injured people are enormous: lifelong medical care, adaptive equipment, home modifications, lost earning capacity, and more.
We have the experience and resources to build the compelling case needed to recover compensation commensurate with the true scope of a catastrophic injury.
We offer free, no-obligation evaluations. No recovery, no fee.
