What Our Parkland Car Accident Lawyers Do for You
Taking on a car accident claim while recovering from injuries is an enormous undertaking, and you should not have to manage it on your own. From the moment you hire us, we take over the investigation, the paperwork, the negotiations, and every interaction with the insurance company, so we can protect your interests at every turn.
In practice, our representation during a car accident claim may include:
- Accident investigation — We examine police reports, collect physical evidence, interview witnesses, and engage experts when needed to establish a clear and compelling picture of fault.
- Full documentation of your damages — We account for all of your current and future losses, from medical bills and lost wages to pain, suffering, and diminished quality of life.
- All insurance communications — We handle every call, letter, and negotiation with adjusters so you are never put in a position where something you say could be used against you.
- Aggressive settlement negotiation — We prepare evidence-backed demand packages and push hard for the maximum compensation available.
- Trial representation — If the insurance company refuses to offer a fair outcome, we can take your case to court and fight for you there.
Our goal throughout this entire process is simple: while you focus on healing, we focus on winning.
Do You Have Grounds for a Car Accident Claim?
If you were hurt in a car accident caused by another driver's negligence, there is a reasonable chance you have the grounds to pursue a claim, but the specifics of your situation matter. Generally speaking, a viable claim involves three elements: another driver's careless or reckless behavior caused the accident, you sustained injuries as a result, and those injuries led to real losses such as medical expenses, missed work, or pain and suffering. Whether your injuries meet Florida's serious injury threshold, how liability is distributed, and what your damages are actually worth all require a closer look at the details of your case.
The simplest way to find out where you stand is to call us. Our consultations are free, there is no obligation, and one of our experienced Parkland car accident lawyers can give you a clear and honest assessment of your situation.
FAQs About Car Accident Claims in Florida
What is Florida's no-fault insurance law?
Florida requires all drivers to carry at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection, or PIP, coverage. Under the no-fault system, your own PIP policy will usually pay up to 80% of your medical expenses and 60% of your lost wages after an accident, regardless of who caused the crash. While this provides some immediate relief, PIP coverage has firm limits and often falls well short of covering the full impact of a serious injury.
What is the serious injury threshold?
To pursue a claim directly against the at-fault driver for pain, suffering, and other damages beyond what PIP provides, Florida law requires your injuries to meet the serious injury threshold. Your injuries can qualify if they involve a significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function, a permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement, or death.
What compensation can I recover after a car accident?
For victims whose injuries meet the serious injury threshold, compensation may include past and future medical expenses, lost wages and reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, emotional distress, property damage, loss of enjoyment of life, and wrongful death damages where applicable.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
Florida’s updated statute of limitations gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline can permanently eliminate your right to seek compensation, so it is important to speak with an attorney as early as possible.
