Common Auto Accident Cases
Every crash tells a story—and every story requires careful documentation. Whether it’s a fender-bender, a T-bone collision with a tractor trailer, or a multi-vehicle pileup, we work to prove fault, calculate damages, and pursue compensation that reflects your full losses.
We represent victims of car, motorcycle, and pedestrian accidents throughout South Florida. Bike crashes often involve severe injuries and complex insurance coverage; pedestrian accidents demand fast access to video evidence, lighting analysis, and driver statements. Whatever the situation, we build your case from the ground up—one record, one fact, one step at a time.
Securing Your Claim: What To Do After A Crash
- Call 911 and get medical attention. Even minor pain can signal serious injury.
- Take photos and video of the vehicles, scene, and visible injuries.
- Exchange insurance and contact information and ask for the police report number.
- Notify your insurer quickly to protect your PIP benefits.
- Schedule a free case review with our team to understand your rights and next steps.
Nearby traffic and business cameras often capture valuable footage—especially in South Florida intersections and parking areas. Ask us how to request preservation letters immediately to prevent key evidence from being erased.
Navigating Florida PIP And Fault Determination
After a crash, understanding how insurance works in Florida can make a major difference in your outcome. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers a portion of your medical bills and lost wages, but it has strict limits. When another driver’s negligence caused the collision, we pursue their insurance to recover what PIP doesn’t—covering the rest of your medical care, lost income, and pain and suffering.
Because Florida follows a modified comparative fault rule, being found 50% or more at fault can prevent recovery entirely. That’s why quick action—documenting the scene, gathering witness statements, and securing vehicle data—is critical to protecting your claim.
Our attorney guide clients through every step, explaining how PIP, liability coverage, and fault interact under Florida law. For more on how these rules apply in injury cases statewide, visit our Florida personal injury attorney page for additional insight.
Property Damage: Repairing, Replacing, and Protecting Your Vehicle’s Value
A wrecked vehicle brings more than inconvenience—it can disrupt your work, family, and finances. We help you navigate repair estimates, rental car arrangements, and total-loss valuations. If your car is declared a total loss, we’ll review the adjuster’s offer, challenge undervaluations, and confirm lienholder and title details. Be sure to keep every document, including receipts, estimates, and photos, especially if your vehicle has aftermarket upgrades or modifications. These details can influence your recovery amount. Before you settle your property damage claim, talk with our team to ensure you’re getting a fair valuation.
Deadlines, UM, and How Long Claims Take
What is Florida’s deadline to sue after a crash?
Typically two years for negligence. Acting early helps preserve video, vehicle data, and witness statements.
Do I have a case if airbags didn’t deploy?
Yes. Airbag deployment isn’t required to prove liability—what matters is whether negligence caused your injuries.
Will my PIP cover all bills?
Not completely. Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers part of your medical expenses and lost wages, but most people reach their limit quickly. We pursue the at-fault driver’s insurance to recover what PIP doesn’t—helping cover remaining bills, wage loss, and other damages.
What if the other driver fled?
We act fast to review police reports, traffic or business cameras, and witness statements. If the driver can’t be identified, we explore uninsured motorist (UM) coverage through your own policy to seek compensation for your injuries and expenses.
How long do cases take?
Timelines vary based on medical treatment, liability disputes, and how insurers respond. Some cases resolve in months; others take longer if litigation is needed. During your intake, we’ll discuss what to expect based on your specific circumstances.
