Get emergency help and make sure a police report is created.

Take photos and videos of the vehicles, injuries, and surrounding area. Get names and contact info for any witnesses.

Florida Car Accident Law: What You Need to Know
Florida is a no-fault state. That means your own insurance covers your initial medical bills and lost wages through Personal Injury Protection (PIP). But that is only part of the picture.
We also pursue a bodily injury (BI) claim against the at-fault driver to recover additional compensation for:
- Medical expenses (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Property damage
- Wrongful death in fatal crash cases
We look at all available sources of recovery and fight to make sure nothing is left on the table.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. It is best to act quickly while evidence is still fresh.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Under Florida’s modified comparative fault rules, you can still recover compensation as long as you were not more than 50 percent responsible. Your recovery may be reduced based on your level of fault.
What if the other driver does not have insurance?
How long does a car accident case usually take?
Do I need to see a doctor right away if I feel fine?
Yes. Some injuries take time to appear, and having early medical records strengthens your case.
