Your health comes first, so seek medical treatment immediately, even if your injuries seem minor. Next, document the accident scene with photos, collect witness contacts, and file an official report. Finally, contact a personal injury attorney to ensure your rights are protected from the start.

A valid case usually exists when your injuries were caused by someone else’s careless or negligent actions. During your consultation, we will examine the circumstances, review any evidence, and help you understand whether pursuing a claim makes sense.

In Florida, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Certain circumstances may shorten or extend this time frame, which is why it’s important to act quickly before critical evidence is lost.

While it’s possible to handle a personal injury claim on your own, having a lawyer increases your chances of receiving fair compensation. An attorney can navigate the legal complexities, negotiate with insurance companies, and advocate for your best interests.

The type and amount of compensation depend on your injuries and how they’ve affected your life. Many clients recover damages for medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost income, and pain and suffering, while more serious cases may also involve permanent disability or wrongful death damages.

Florida follows a comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you share some responsibility. Insurance companies often try to exaggerate fault to limit payouts, but we push back to make sure your share of responsibility is assessed fairly.
