A car accident can leave you with medical bills, lost income, and pain that disrupts your entire life. The right car accident lawyer can help you recover what you’ve lost. We handle car accident claims from start to finish—investigation, negotiation, and trial if necessary.

What a Car Accident Claim Covers

A car accident claim can seek compensation for losses caused by the crash that personal injury protection (PIP) benefits do not pay, although not every loss is recoverable in every case. This includes immediate medical costs and long-term effects on your finances and quality of life.

Medical expenses include emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, ongoing treatment, rehabilitation, and future medical needs. We document every bill and work with medical providers to ensure nothing is missed.

Lost wages cover income you lost while recovering or unable to work. If your injuries are permanent, we calculate reduced earning capacity—what you would have earned over your lifetime had the accident not happened.

Pain and suffering compensates you for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life. This is separate from medical bills and lost wages.

Property damage covers repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal property damaged in the crash.

Wrongful death claims arise when a family member is killed in the accident. Surviving family members may recover funeral expenses, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.

Other losses include transportation costs, home care, assistive devices, and other accident-related expenses.

How the Car Accident Claim Process Works

Understanding what happens next removes uncertainty and helps you make informed decisions.

Step 1 – Free case evaluation. You contact us and describe what happened. We listen, ask questions, and explain your options at no cost. There’s no obligation.

Step 2 – Investigation. We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, and photos. Strong evidence is the foundation of a strong claim.

Step 3 – Demand and negotiation. We calculate your damages and send a demand letter to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. We negotiate on your behalf to reach a fair settlement.

Step 4 – Settlement or lawsuit. If the insurance company offers a reasonable settlement, we explain the offer. You decide whether to accept. If not, we file a lawsuit and prepare for trial.

Step 5 – Resolution. We work to recover the maximum compensation you’re entitled to, whether through settlement or trial verdict.

Timeline: Most car accident cases settle within 6 to 12 months. Complex or disputed cases may take longer. We keep you informed every step of the way.

Florida Car Accident Law: What You Need to Know

How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

In Florida, the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit depends on when your accident occurred. For accidents on or after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the date of the accident under Fla. Stat. §95.11(5)(a). Do not wait. Evidence fades, witnesses move away, and memories fade. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident.

What if I was partly at fault?

Florida follows a “modified comparative negligence” rule. Under Fla. Stat. §768.81(6), you can still recover damages even if you were partly at fault, as long as you were not more than 50% at fault for your own harm. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages total $10,000, you’d recover $8,000.

What if the at-fault driver has no insurance?

Florida requires all drivers to carry personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. If the other driver is uninsured or underinsured, we can pursue your claim through uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage or other available sources.
