Why You Need a Car Accident Attorney

Navigating the aftermath of an accident on your own can be overwhelming. Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line over your well-being. Hiring an attorney early ensures you have an advocate protecting your rights. Here’s how we can help:

  • Gathering Evidence: Photos, witness statements, and medical records can be critical to proving fault and damages.
  • Protecting Your Rights: We shield you from predatory insurance tactics and ensure your claim reflects the true extent of your losses.
  • Dealing with Insurance Companies: We handle all negotiations, so you won’t feel pressured into a quick, undervalued settlement.
  • Meeting Deadlines: Florida law imposes strict time limits on filing accident claims. We ensure your case is filed on time.

Florida Car Accident Laws: What You Need to Know

Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning that each party files claims with their own insurance regardless of fault. However, there are exceptions for serious injuries that allow you to file a claim against the at-fault driver.

What is PIP Insurance?

Florida law requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, providing:



  • Up to $10,000 for medical expenses
  • Property Damage Liability (PDL) coverage for damages to others’ vehicles or property


If your injuries meet the state’s definition of “serious,” you may pursue additional compensation through a personal injury claim

What Qualifies as a Serious Injury?

Florida law defines a “serious injury” as:

  • Permanent injuries
  • Significant scarring or disfigurement
  • Loss of a critical bodily function
  • Fatal injuries

For these cases, we pursue damages beyond PIP, including non-economic losses like pain and suffering.

Types of Motor Vehicle Accidents We Handle

Our firm has extensive experience representing clients in a wide range of auto accident cases, including:

  • Car vs. Bicycle Accidents: Cyclists are especially vulnerable in collisions with vehicles. We help victims recover compensation for medical bills and other losses.
  • Truck Accidents: Large commercial vehicles can cause devastating injuries. We investigate trucking company policies and driver negligence to hold them accountable.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: With less protection than other motorists, bikers often face severe injuries. We fight for fair compensation.
  • Pedestrian Accidents: Careless drivers can cause life-altering harm to pedestrians.
  • Drunk Driving Accidents: We hold intoxicated drivers accountable for the harm they cause.

Common Questions About Car Accident Claims

  • Can I sue a drunk driver who hit me?

    Yes. If you’ve been injured by a drunk driver, you can file a lawsuit to recover damages. Evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and medical records will be critical in proving negligence.

  • How long do I have to file a lawsuit?

    In Florida, the statute of limitations for car accident claims is generally four years from the date of the accident. Acting quickly ensures evidence is preserved and deadlines are met.

  • Should I accept an insurance settlement?

    Before signing anything, consult an attorney. Insurance companies often undervalue claims, and settling prematurely could leave you without compensation for future medical expenses or worsening injuries.
