If an accident has left you or a loved one injured, finding the right path to recovery and fair compensation can feel overwhelming.

Fletcher and Fletcher - Car Accident Lawyers in Florida - Rear End Collisions

Rear-End Collisions

Even at low speeds, rear-end crashes can cause serious injuries like whiplash, back pain, or concussions. We pursue compensation for medical care, therapy, and lost income so you can focus on recovery. These cases may seem straightforward, but insurance companies often try to minimize them, which is why having strong legal representation matters.

We gather crash reports, witness statements, and expert analysis to build a case that clearly shows fault.

Highway and High-Speed Crashes

Accidents at higher speeds often result in life-changing injuries or fatalities. We fight for maximum compensation in these cases, ensuring your long-term needs are fully addressed. Our goal is not just a settlement, but one that truly accounts for the full scope of your future care and financial security.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

A serious crash can leave you with financial, physical, and emotional losses that go far beyond the immediate impact. If your case is successful, you may be able to recover:

1

Medical expenses:

for emergency care, hospital stays, surgeries, medications, and rehabilitation.
2

Lost wages:

if your injuries prevent you from working during recovery.
3

Pain and suffering:

for the physical pain and emotional distress caused by the accident.
4

Property damage:

to cover repair or replacement of your vehicle and personal items inside it.
5

Loss of consortium:

if your injuries affect your relationship with your spouse or family.

Under Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a), you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a car accident injury claim. Missing this deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation, which is why it’s important to act quickly and consult with an experienced car accident lawyer.

FAQs

What should I do right after a car accident?

First, call 911 and get medical care, even if you feel fine, some injuries take hours or days to appear. Exchange information with the other driver, document the scene with photos, and gather witness names. Before speaking with an insurance adjuster, call a car accident lawyer to protect your rights.

How do I know if I have a valid car accident claim?

You may have a valid claim if your injuries were caused by another driver’s negligence, such as speeding, distracted driving, or violating traffic laws. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate the crash report, available evidence, and your injuries to determine your best options for pursuing compensation.

How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?

Under Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(a), you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. Acting quickly allows us to preserve evidence like skid marks, surveillance footage, and witness statements that could be lost over time.

What types of compensation are available in car accident cases?

You may be able to recover damages for medical bills, rehabilitation, lost income, pain and suffering, and vehicle damage. In cases involving severe injury or wrongful death, additional damages may also be available to cover long-term needs or family losses.

What if I was partly at fault for the accident?

Florida follows comparative negligence rules, which means you can still receive compensation even if you share responsibility. For example, if you’re 20% at fault, your recovery will be reduced by that percentage. We fight to ensure your share of fault is not overstated by insurance companies.

Do I need a lawyer after a car accident?

You’re not required to hire a lawyer, but insurance companies often pressure victims into low settlements. An experienced car accident lawyer will handle negotiations, gather strong evidence, and fight for the full value of your claim, giving you peace of mind while you focus on healing.
