What a Car Accident Claim Covers
A car accident claim can recover several categories of damages:
Medical expenses include emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, rehabilitation, ongoing treatment, and future medical needs.
Lost wages cover income you missed while recovering or unable to work.
Vehicle damage includes repair or replacement costs.
Pain and suffering compensates you for physical pain, emotional distress, and reduced quality of life.
Permanent disability or disfigurement. If the accident caused lasting harm, you may recover damages for permanent changes to your body or abilities.
Wrongful death benefits (for families who have lost a loved one) may include funeral costs, lost financial support, and loss of companionship.
Other losses include transportation costs, home care, assistive devices, or home modifications needed because of your injury.
How Much Does a Car Accident Lawyer Cost in Florida?
We work on a contingency fee basis. You pay nothing upfront. We only collect a fee if we recover money for you.
Our fee is typically 25% to 40% of the settlement or judgment you receive. The exact percentage depends on how complex your case is and what stage it reaches.
You are never responsible for attorney fees unless we win your case or reach a settlement.
You may be responsible for case costs—such as medical records, expert reports, and court filing fees. We discuss these upfront and often advance them on your behalf.
We offer a free initial consultation with no obligation. Contact us to discuss your accident and learn your options.
How the Car Accident Claim Process Works
Step 1: Free Case Evaluation
You meet with an attorney in person, by phone, or by video. You describe your accident and injuries. We listen, ask questions, and explain your legal options.
Step 2: Investigation
We gather police reports, witness statements, and medical records. We collect photos of the accident scene and vehicle damage. We obtain insurance information. We may hire accident reconstruction experts if the facts are complex.
Step 3: Demand Letter
We prepare a detailed demand letter to the at-fault driver’s insurance company. It outlines liability, your injuries, and the compensation you deserve.
Step 4: Negotiation
The insurance company responds with an offer. We negotiate on your behalf to reach a fair settlement. Most cases settle at this stage.
Step 5: Settlement or Lawsuit
If we reach an agreement, we finalize the settlement and you receive your payment. If the insurance company refuses a fair offer, we file a lawsuit and prepare for trial.
Step 6: Trial (if necessary)
Your case goes before a judge or jury. We present evidence and argue for the compensation you deserve.
Timeline: Simple cases may settle in 3–6 months. Complex cases or trials may take 1–2 years or longer.

How Long Can You Sue After a Car Accident in Florida?
Florida’s statute of limitations for car accident personal injury claims is 2 years from the date of the accident. Fla. Stat. §95.11
For wrongful death claims, the family has 2 years from the date of death to file suit. Fla. Stat. §95.11
Property damage claims (vehicle damage) also have a 2-year window.
Do not wait. The sooner you contact an attorney, the sooner we can preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin building your case. Insurance companies often pressure injured people to settle quickly and for less than they deserve. An attorney protects your rights and ensures you are not rushed into a bad deal.
What If You Were Partially at Fault?
Florida follows modified comparative negligence. Fla. Stat. §768.81
Even if you were partly responsible for the accident, you may still recover damages. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
If you are found more than 50% at fault, you generally recover nothing.
We investigate thoroughly to minimize any blame assigned to you.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Claims
If the other driver was uninsured or lacked sufficient insurance, you are not without recourse.
You may file a claim under your own uninsured motorist (UM) or underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage. These are parts of your own insurance policy that protect you.
We handle both scenarios. We will pursue recovery through your own insurance policy or directly against the driver.

We typically charge 25% to 40% of your recovery, depending on case complexity. You pay no attorney’s fee unless we win. Clients may still be responsible for certain case costs, which we explain upfront.
Q: Do I have a case?
If another driver’s negligence caused your accident and you were injured, you likely have a claim. We evaluate this free during your initial consultation.
Q: Should I talk to the insurance company before hiring a lawyer?
You can report the accident to your own insurance company. Do not give a recorded statement or sign anything without legal advice. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize payouts. An attorney protects your interests.

Settlement value depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the strength of liability. We provide a realistic estimate after reviewing your case.

Q: Can I still sue if the other driver was uninsured?
Yes. You may file a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage or pursue a lawsuit against the driver directly. We handle both.
