Pursuing the Full Compensation You Deserve
Potential Forms of Compensation in a Car Accident Case
The financial stress after a car accident can be severe for many local families. Fortunately, our personal injury lawyers are available to pursue every possible form of compensation on your behalf.
After a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
Vehicle Repairs
The party responsible for the car accident should be responsible for paying for vehicle repairs or a replacement. We will go to battle for you to ensure that you are properly compensated for your vehicle.
Medical Expenses
If you suffer a personal injury in a car accident, the medical expenses can be steep. Our personal injury lawyers help our clients achieve just compensation so they can focus on recovery.
Lost Wages
You may be out of work after a car accident, especially if you are injured. In extreme cases, victims cannot return to work at all or must switch occupations. It is possible to calculate your lost wages and receive compensation for these effects.
Emotional Trauma
Serious car accidents can lead to severe emotional trauma for some victims. Our compassionate lawyers understand the connection between car accidents and depression, and we will fight for you to be compensated for your hardship.
Don't Delay—There Are Strict Deadlines
Statute of limitations laws set hard deadlines for when lawsuits must be filed. If you miss your deadline, you almost certainly lose the ability to ever receive compensation for your losses. Here are the relevant statute of limitations for Florida car accidents.
Personal Injury
A personal injury lawsuit is the type of claim filed by the injured victim of a car accident that was caused by someone else's negligence. In Florida, you have just two years from the date of your crash to file a personal injury claim.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death lawsuit is filed by the surviving family members of an individual who was killed in a car crash by a negligent driver or third party. In our state, you have only two years from the date of your loved one's passing to file a wrongful death suit.
New Legislation Makes Your Choice of Attorney More Important than Ever
For decades, our state operated under the legal framework known as pure comparative negligence. In March of 2023, Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill (HB) 837, Civil Remedies into law, changing our state to the usage of modified comparative negligence.
This change means that if a Florida car accident victim is determined by the courts to be primarily at fault for their crash, they cannot receive any compensation whatsoever. Furthermore, the amount of compensation awarded is in direct proportion to what percentage the victim is found to be responsible for their accident.
This law makes it imperative to hire a team like ours that has won over a billion for victims, since you may recover nothing in your lawsuit if your legal team fails to prove that you were not the most to blame for your wreck.
