Car Accidents in Florida

Florida roads see hundreds of thousands of accidents each year, with a substantial number resulting in injuries. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reports more than 3,000 traffic fatalities annually. Roadway congestion, distracted driving, and speeding continue to play major roles in these incidents, making Florida one of the highest-ranking states for serious traffic injuries and fatalities.

To help drivers understand what they may encounter after a crash, here are common legal issues they may face:

  • Disputes Over Fault: In Florida, determining fault can significantly affect your ability to seek compensation, especially with comparative negligence laws. Insurance companies may attempt to shift blame to reduce payouts, making it important to have someone advocate for your version of events.
  • Issues with Insurance Coverage: Not all policies are equal, and drivers may find their coverage is inadequate for the full extent of their injuries or losses. Uninsured or underinsured motorist claims often arise when the at-fault driver lacks proper insurance.
  • Delays in Medical Treatment: Victims who delay care can face scrutiny from insurers. It's important to seek medical help immediately after a crash, not just for health reasons but also to support your injury claim.
  • Low Settlement Offers: Insurance companies often offer settlements that don't reflect the full value of your injuries, especially early in the process. Without legal representation, you might accept less than you need for future care and losses.
  • Statute of Limitations: Florida law limits how long you have to file a personal injury claim. If deadlines are missed, you could lose your right to pursue compensation entirely.
