Car Accidents

A car accident claim is a legal process that allows you to seek compensation if you've been injured in a crash due to another driver’s negligence. This can include rear-end collisions, intersection accidents, distracted driving incidents, and more. Under Florida law, accident victims have the right to pursue damages to cover medical bills, lost wages, property damage, even pain and suffering. In Florida, car accident claims operate under a “no-fault” system, meaning each driver’s own insurance typically covers initial medical expenses.

Who Should File a Claim and Why Having an Attorney Is Essential

• Benefits of Filing: Filing a claim after a car accident ensures you have a chance to cover critical expenses like medical treatment, rehab, lost wages, and any necessary adjustments to your lifestyle or work. Without legal action, victims may be stuck with large out-of-pocket costs.
• Consequences Without Representation: Navigating insurance claims alone can leave you vulnerable to minimized payouts or denied claims. In Florida, there’s a statute of limitations of four years for car accident claims; if missed, this could mean forfeiting the right to pursue compensation altogether.
