With deep roots in Brevard County and decades of legal victories, Nance Cacciatore is more than just a name on a billboard. We’re a local law firm with board-certified trial attorneys who have built a reputation for results – in both settlement negotiations and courtroom trials. We know the local roads, judges, and insurance companies. That matters.
We’ve represented Melbourne residents in everything from complex trucking cases to life-altering car crashes – and we’re ready to stand with you.
We’ve represented:
If negligence caused your injury, we’re here to protect your rights and pursue every available recovery.
We represent clients across a wide range of cases. Some of the most common and serious include:
From U.S. 192 to I‑95, Melbourne drivers face constant risk. Distracted driving, speeding, and impaired motorists cause thousands of crashes each year. Our attorneys handle claims involving broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and wrongful death. We know how to gather crash reports, accident reconstructions, and medical records to build strong cases.
Collisions with semi‑trucks, delivery trucks, and dump trucks can cause catastrophic harm. We pursue trucking companies for negligent hiring, poor maintenance, and driver fatigue. Truck accidents often involve multiple defendants, and our trial‑ready team ensures every responsible party is held accountable.
Motorcyclists are especially vulnerable on roads like Wickham, Babcock, and U.S. 1. Even with helmets and protective gear, riders suffer severe injuries when hit by inattentive drivers. Our team helps motorcyclists recover damages and fight back against unfair blame often placed on riders.
Melbourne’s proximity to the Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean makes boating part of daily life. Unfortunately, it also increases risks. We represent victims of jet ski accidents, water‑skiing crashes, boating under the influence cases, and drownings. Florida consistently leads the nation in boating accidents, and our attorneys know how to pursue these complex claims.
Slip and fall accidents often occur at shopping centers, grocery stores, hotels, and public walkways. Wet floors, poor lighting, broken stairs, or uneven pavement can all lead to serious injuries. We hold property owners accountable when they fail to keep their premises safe.
Patients trust their doctors and hospitals to provide safe care. When mistakes happen, the consequences can be life‑changing. We handle malpractice claims involving surgical errors, medication mistakes, misdiagnosis, birth injuries, and hospital negligence. These cases require expert witnesses and significant resources — both of which we provide.
Elderly residents deserve dignity and safety. Sadly, neglect and abuse occur in nursing homes throughout Brevard County. We represent families dealing with bedsores, falls, malnutrition, physical abuse, or unexplained injuries. We fight to protect the most vulnerable and hold negligent facilities accountable.
Construction continues to expand across Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Viera, which increases workplace hazards. We represent workers injured by falls from heights, scaffolding collapses, electrocutions, chemical exposures, or defective equipment. Our attorneys also handle workers’ compensation disputes and third‑party claims.
Dangerous products injure consumers every year. We pursue claims against manufacturers and distributors of defective drugs, medical devices, children’s products, contaminated foods, and chemicals. Product liability cases do not require proof of negligence — showing that the product was unsafe may be enough.
Some accidents cause permanent injuries that change lives forever. Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and amputations require lifelong medical care. We work with medical experts and life‑care planners to secure compensation that covers both current and future needs.
Losing a loved one is devastating, and when negligence is to blame, the law allows families to pursue justice. We help families recover funeral expenses, lost income, and the loss of companionship. While no amount of money replaces a life, it can provide stability and accountability for those left behind.
