Daniel L. Hightower, PA, established in 1987, practices in the following areas:

Hi, I’m Dan Hightower. I’d like to take a moment to welcome you to our website and introduce myself. I was born in Lakeland, Polk County, Florida. My parents raised me on the values of faith, family, country and hard work. I spent my summers while in high school and college at jobs doing manual labor in the phosphate mines and orange groves, on construction sites and in wholesale warehouses. I also operated front-end loaders and forklifts. At these jobs, I learned to appreciate people who work hard to support themselves and their families.

In 1987, I started Daniel L. Hightower, P.A., Lawyer with one secretary. Over the past 23 years, the firm has grown to include a team of five lawyers and a staff of over 25 paralegals and legal assistants. It is a pleasure for me to run a client-centered law practice with such a caring and capable group of people.

Please peruse the rest of our website at your leisure. We look forward to assisting you, your friends or family members in any way we can.

Personal Injury

The Personal Injury department of our law firm deals with mainly automobile collisions where the carelessness of another injures innocent victims. We also handle premises liability and product liability cases. Premises liability cases involve injuries to innocent victims caused by careless property owners or occupiers. Product liability cases involve injuries to innocent victims caused by carelessly designed, built or maintained products. When an automobile collision or other incident occurs that results in personal injuries to an innocent victim, it is important for that person to promptly hire a lawyer who can protect their rights and their family’s rights and ensure that the necessary legal steps are taken to hold the responsible individual or company accountable for the injuries and damages sustained.

Workers’ Compensation

When someone is injured on the job, many questions come to mind. How will I continue to support my family? Who will pay for my medical bills? Will my job be waiting for me when I get back? When work injuries happen, it is important for the injured person to promptly hire a lawyer who can help them navigate the complicated process of the Florida Workers’ Compensation law so that they can promptly and fully receive the medical and disability benefits they are entitled to by law.

Social Security Disability

Sometimes hard working, deserving people are unable to continue working due to an illness or injury. These people may qualify for Social Security Disability. If you have applied for Social Security Disability and been denied, it is important to contact a lawyer who may be able to help you recover the benefits you are entitled to by law by preparing for and proceeding to hearing before an Administrative Law Judge.

Bankruptcy

Deciding to declare bankruptcy can be one of the most difficult decisions a person ever makes. If you are overwhelmed by credit card debt, medical debt or mortgage payments, you may feel as if you have no other choice. In a free consultation, a lawyer can answer your questions and help you decide if bankruptcy is right for you.

Wrongful Death

While we all know that accidents do happen, those words are hardly a consolation to someone who has lost a loved one due to someone else’s carelessness. While no monetary settlement can ease the pain of an unnecessary and untimely death, it is important that the careless party be held responsible for the consequences of their actions. A lawyer can help you investigate and, when appropriate, pursue a claim against the careless individual or company and recover justice for you and your family members.
