Car Accident Lawyer in Davie: What We Do
We handle car accident claims from your first free consultation through settlement or trial. We investigate what happened, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for fair compensation.
Who this is for: Anyone injured in a car accident in Davie, whether the injury is minor or severe.
Why timing matters: Florida law gives you only 2 years from the date of your accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can cost you your right to recover. The sooner you contact us, the better we can protect your rights and gather evidence.
What a Car Accident Claim Covers
Car accident damages in Florida include far more than vehicle repair. Here’s what you may recover:
- Medical expenses: Emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, physical therapy, and future treatment related to your injuries.
- Lost wages: Income you missed while recovering or unable to work, including lost earning capacity.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, anxiety, depression, sleep loss, and reduced quality of life.
- Property damage: Repair or replacement of your vehicle.
- Permanent disability or disfigurement: If the accident caused lasting scarring, disability, or loss of function.
- Wrongful death: If a loved one was killed, their family may recover funeral costs, lost income, and loss of companionship.
How the Car Accident Claim Process Works
Step 1 – Free Consultation: You tell us what happened. We listen, ask questions, review documents, and explain your legal options. There’s no cost and no obligation.
Step 2 – Investigation: We gather police reports, medical records, witness statements, photographs, and traffic camera footage. We build a strong factual foundation for your claim.
Step 3 – Demand & Negotiation: We calculate your total damages and send a detailed demand to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. We negotiate aggressively on your behalf.
Step 4 – Settlement or Lawsuit: If the insurance company offers fair compensation, we settle. If they refuse or undervalue your claim, we file a lawsuit and prepare for trial.
Step 5 – Resolution: Most cases settle before trial. If yours proceeds to court, we represent you before a judge or jury.
Timeline: Simple cases may settle in 3–6 months. Cases involving serious or catastrophic injuries often take 1–2 years, depending on complexity.
How Much Do Car Accident Attorneys Take in Florida?
We work on a contingency fee basis:
- We take a percentage of what you recover—typically 33% if your case settles before trial and up to 40% if it goes to trial.
- You pay nothing upfront. We advance all expenses (medical records, expert witnesses, court filing fees, investigation costs).
- If you don’t recover, you don’t pay us. Our fee depends entirely on your success.
This arrangement removes the financial barrier to seeking legal help and aligns our interests with yours.
How Long Can Someone Sue After a Car Accident in Florida?
You have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Florida. This deadline is called the statute of limitations.
Why this matters: If you wait longer than 2 years, you lose the right to sue, even if you have a strong case (Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a)). The court will dismiss your lawsuit.
Insurance claims are different: You can file an insurance claim anytime, but the sooner you act, the better. Evidence fades, witnesses move away, and memories blur.
Don’t wait. Contact us as soon as possible after your accident to protect your rights.

Can You Sue for Pain and Suffering From a Car Accident in Florida?
Yes. Florida law allows you to recover damages for pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other non-economic losses.
What pain and suffering includes:
- Physical pain during recovery and rehabilitation
- Anxiety, depression, and emotional trauma
- Sleep loss and disrupted daily life
- Inability to work, exercise, or enjoy hobbies
- Permanent scarring, disfigurement, or disability
- Loss of companionship or sexual dysfunction
How it’s calculated: We use your medical bills, lost wages, the severity and permanence of your injuries, and the impact on your daily life to argue for fair compensation. Insurance companies often undervalue pain and suffering, but we fight to ensure you’re compensated fairly.
How We Prove Negligence in a Car Accident
To win your case, we must prove the other driver was negligent. Here’s the evidence we use:
- Police report: Official documentation of the accident and the officer’s assessment of fault.
- Witness statements: Testimony from people who saw the accident.
- Photos and video: Images of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and scene details.
- Medical records: Documentation linking your injuries to the accident.
- Expert witnesses: Accident reconstruction specialists or medical doctors who testify about how the accident happened and injury severity.
- Cell phone records: Evidence of distracted driving at the time of the crash.
- Traffic camera footage: Video from nearby businesses or traffic lights.
We gather, organize, and present this evidence to prove fault.
What to Do Right After a Car Accident in Davie
Your actions immediately after an accident can strengthen your case:
- Ensure safety: Move to a safe location if possible. Turn on hazard lights.
- Call 911: Report the accident. Get the police report number.
- Seek medical attention: Get checked by a doctor, even if you feel fine. Some injuries appear hours or days later.
- Document the scene: Take photos and video of vehicle damage, road conditions, traffic signals, and the location.
- Exchange information: Get the other driver’s name, phone number, driver’s license number, insurance company, and policy number.
- Get witness contact information: Ask anyone who saw the accident for their name and phone number.
- Don’t admit fault: Don’t apologize or say anything that could be used against you later.
- Report to your insurance company: Notify your insurer, but don’t give a recorded statement without consulting a lawyer first.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
A: Florida follows comparative negligence (shared fault). You can still recover even if you were partly responsible, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. If you’re found more than 50% at fault, you generally cannot recover.
Q: Do I have to go to trial?
A: No. Most cases settle before trial. We negotiate aggressively, but we’re always prepared to take your case to court if the insurance company refuses fair compensation.
Q: How long will my car accident case take?
A: It depends on the complexity of your injuries and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate. Simple cases may resolve in months; complex cases with serious injuries can take 1–2 years.
Q: What if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?
A: You may be able to recover through your own uninsured motorist coverage. We’ll explore all available options.
Q: Can I still file a claim if I didn’t go to the hospital immediately?
A: Yes, but seek medical attention as soon as possible. Delayed treatment can make it harder to prove your injuries were caused by the accident.
Q: What should I do if the insurance company contacts me?
A: Don’t give a recorded statement or sign anything without consulting us first. Contact us before speaking with the insurance company.

Common Questions About Car Accident Claims
What if I was partly at fault?
Florida law allows you to recover even if you share some responsibility for the accident. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still pursue a claim if you're not found more than 50% at fault (Fla. Stat. § 768.81(6)).
Do I have to go to trial?
No. Most cases settle before trial through negotiation with the insurance company or the at-fault party's attorney. We handle all settlement discussions and will only go to court if necessary to protect your interests.
How much is my case worth?
Every accident is different. Compensation depends on your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other factors. We evaluate your specific situation during a free consultation.
How long does a case take?
