Aggressive personal injury attorneys in Sebring & Lakeland

We aggressively pursue full and fair compensation for clients injured due to the negligence or recklessness of another person or business. Mark A. Sessums is board certified in civil trial law, which means he has the knowledge and expertise to be an effective advocate for you. Review our personal injury page to learn more about services we offer in injury cases.

Auto accidents — We help victims who were injured in auto accidents recover full and fair compensation for all types of injuries, including neck injuries, brain and spinal trauma, loss of limbs and traffic fatalities.

Truck accidents — One of the challenges in a heavy truck accident case is figuring out who is responsible to pay for the damages. We have the experience and legal knowledge to determine which person or business entities should be held responsible for the damages caused by an 18-wheeler accident and pursue recovery for you.

Wrongful death — The family of a person who dies as a result of accidental injuries may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim. An award in one of these lawsuits can help compensate a family for the loss of their loved one’s future earnings.

Brain and spinal injuries — Traumatic brain and spinal injuries can devastate a family. We seek to hold those responsible accountable for the damage they caused.

Accidents caused by drunk, distracted or aggressive drivers — Distracted, drunk and aggressive drivers are responsible for the vast majority of traffic accidents occurring on our roadways every year. Drivers who engage in these reckless behaviors should be held accountable to their victims. We seek full and fair compensation for clients whose injuries were caused by such drivers.

Accidents with uninsured or underinsured motorists — Despite laws requiring adequate auto insurance, many accidents with injuries are caused by uninsured or underinsured motorists. Victims in these cases face significant obstacles to recovery. We aggressively pursue compensation for victims from any source legally available.

Steps after an auto accident — Even the strongest personal injury case can be compromised if the injured person takes the wrong actions after the accident. Take the time to review the steps you should take and refer back to this information in the future if you find yourself wondering what to do after a car accident.

Determining injury cases — A question we hear frequently is Do I have an injury case? While the fact of the injury may be apparent, the real question is whether another person or business should be required to pay for your medical treatment and related damages. We explain the factors in evaluating your personal injury case and help you navigate the legal road to monetary recovery.

Sessums Law Group, P.A. strives to minimize your anxiety by delivering personal service, reliable advocacy and a flexible approach to finding creative solutions in cases of domestic instability. Mark A. Sessums is double board certified in Civil Trial Law and Marital and Family Law and is particularly qualified to help families in transition.

Divorce — We help husbands and wives pursue or defend against contested divorce proceedings. We also handle uncontested divorces and help secure solid settlement agreements. Our goal is to protect your rights throughout the process and to ensure a final agreement that is both fair and flexible.

Divorce mediation — Sometimes mediation is the quickest and least expensive way to handle family law issues. We are equipped to engage in divorce mediation with clients or to serve as mediators or third-party neutrals.

Child custody and support — We handle all kinds of disputes related to child custody, support and visitation for parents, whether you have been accused of contempt for failure to pay or if your ex-spouse refuses to pay a court-ordered support obligation.

Alimony and division of marital property — We have extensive experience fighting for alimony and fair division of marital property. We represent potential payers or payees of spousal support.

Support modification and enforcement — If you need to enforce or modify an existing court order for child support or spousal support, we can help. We gather relevant evidence to demonstrate a material change in circumstances in support of a petition to modify. Alternatively, we use discovery tools to reveal evidence in support or defense of a contempt petition for non-payment.

Parental and visitation rights — Spending adequate time with your children is a right and benefit every parent and child should enjoy. If your rights have been hampered by a custodial parent or guardian, we fight for your parental and visitation rights so you have a chance to build and maintain strong, healthy parent-child relationships.

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreementsPrenuptial and postnuptial agreements can protect assets acquired prior to marriage if the agreements are properly negotiated, drafted and executed. A mistake can render an agreement unenforceable. We assist clients by drafting enforceable premarital and post-marital agreements.
