Motor Vehicle Accident FAQ

Answers to Common Questions About Car Accident Claims in Florida

  • How much is my car accident case worth?

    Every case is different, but compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and pain and suffering. Our firm evaluates all factors to pursue maximum compensation.

  • Do I need a lawyer after a car accident?

    Yes. Insurance companies often offer low settlements to accident victims. A lawyer protects your rights and negotiates for a fair payout.

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

    Under Florida law, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a lawsuit. However, exceptions apply, so consulting a lawyer as soon as possible is best.

  • What if the other driver was uninsured?

    If the at-fault driver lacks insurance, you may still recover compensation through uninsured motorist coverage or other legal avenues. We will review your options.

  • Will my case go to trial?

    Most car accident cases settle out of court, but we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure the best possible outcome.
