Find a Car Accident Lawyer in Florida

Car accidents are the most common — and most fought-over — injury claim in Florida. If you were hurt in a crash in Miami, Cape Coral, or anywhere in the state, you may be owed far more than the insurance company first offers.

Common causes we see

Distracted and texting drivers, speeding, running red lights, drunk or impaired driving, and unsafe lane changes cause the majority of serious crashes in South Florida.

• Rear-end and chain-reaction collisions
• T-bone crashes at intersections
• Highway pileups on I-95 and the Turnpike
• Hit-and-run and uninsured drivers

How Florida car-accident law works

Florida is a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays initial medical bills up to your policy limit regardless of who caused the crash. But PIP rarely covers a serious injury.

When injuries are significant, you can step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver for full damages — medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule, and a two-year deadline applies to most crashes on or after March 24, 2023.

What to do after a crash

1. Get medical care right away — gaps in treatment hurt your claim.
2. Photograph the scene, vehicles, and injuries.
3. Get the other driver's insurance and witness contacts.
4. Do not give a recorded statement to the other insurer.
5. Call us before accepting any settlement.

How we maximize your recovery

We handle every insurer conversation, document your injuries fully, and build the claim to its real value. Because the firm's attorney once defended insurance companies, we know exactly which arguments and evidence force a fair offer — or we take it to trial.
