Car Accidents in Florida

Florida sees a high rate of car accidents each year, with many resulting in injuries. In 2023 alone, state records show hundreds of thousands of crashes, a large portion of which happened in areas with significant tourism and high local traffic volume.

Accidents often leave victims with questions. Here are some of the challenges victims may face when filing insurance claims:

  • Delays in Processing: Insurance companies often take weeks or even months to process claims. Adjusters may request additional documentation or use tactics to delay settlements, which can be frustrating for those trying to cover medical expenses and lost income.
  • Disputed Liability: Even when another driver is clearly at fault, insurers may challenge the facts of the case. This often requires the collection of evidence such as witness statements, photos, or traffic camera footage to prove liability.
  • Low Settlement Offers: Insurance adjusters may offer settlements that are far lower than what a victim needs to recover fully. These initial offers rarely reflect the true value of medical costs, lost wages, or pain and suffering. Victims are encouraged not to accept early offers without legal guidance.
  • Policy Limits: Florida drivers may carry only the minimum required insurance. If injuries exceed the policy’s coverage, victims may have to pursue compensation through other legal avenues. This is especially important in cases involving multiple victims or serious injury.
  • Denial of Coverage: Insurance providers may deny claims based on policy exclusions or alleged technicalities. Victims can appeal such denials, but this process can be complex and stressful without legal support.
