(561) 691-4901James P. Cooksey has practiced law in Florida since 1985, dedicating his career to representing injured people and their families across Palm Beach County. As a partner at Cooksey & Cooksey, P.A., he brings more than three decades of experience to car accident, catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, and toxic mold cases.
Clients work directly with him — not a faceless intake team — and benefit from the judgment, courtroom credibility, and local knowledge that only come with a long career serving one community.
Based in Palm Beach Gardens, we represent injured clients throughout the region — and we are ready to come to you when your injuries make travel difficult.
The initial consultation is free. Personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means you pay no attorney's fee unless we recover compensation for you. Any costs and the fee arrangement are fully explained in writing during your consultation.
Florida law sets strict deadlines on injury claims — for many negligence cases, as little as two years from the date of injury — and certain claims, such as those against government entities, have even shorter notice requirements. Because evidence can disappear quickly, it is best to call as soon as possible so important deadlines are not missed.
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical treatment, lost income, and how the injury affects your life. After reviewing the details, we can give you an honest assessment of where your case stands.
Many cases resolve through settlement without a trial. However, we prepare every case as if it may go to court — that readiness is often what convinces insurers to offer fair compensation. If trial is the right path for your case, you will have an experienced attorney prepared to take it there.
Seek medical care first — your health comes first, and prompt treatment also documents your injuries. Keep records, photos, and the names of any witnesses. Avoid giving recorded statements to the other side's insurer before speaking with an attorney, and call us so we can protect your rights from the start.
If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in Palm Beach County, find out where you stand. The call is free and confidential.
