Florida Car Accident Attorney – Protecting Your Rights After a Crash

Understanding Florida’s Car Accident Law


 Florida is a no-fault insurance state, meaning your own insurance (PIP coverage) pays for your medical expenses and lost wages after a crash—regardless of who caused it. However, if you suffer serious or permanent injuries, you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.


Our Florida car accident lawyers help victims navigate these complex laws to recover full compensation for their medical costs, pain and suffering, and lost income. We handle every stage—from investigating the crash to dealing with insurance companies—so you can focus on recovery.


We represent clients throughout Florida, including Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.

Common Car Accident Injuries in Florida

Car accidents can cause both immediate and long-term physical trauma. Our attorneys handle cases involving all types of injuries, including:


  • Whiplash and neck injuries
  • Concussions and traumatic brain injuries
  • Spinal cord damage and herniated discs
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal bleeding and organ damage
  • Lacerations and scarring
  • Psychological trauma such as PTSD

If your injuries are severe, you may exceed Florida’s no-fault threshold—making you eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit for additional damages.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Florida

 Knowing what to do immediately after a crash can protect both your health and your legal rights. Here’s what we recommend:



  1. Call 911 – Report the accident and request medical assistance for anyone injured.

  2. Seek Medical Care – Even minor injuries should be checked by a doctor.

  3. Gather Evidence – Take photos, collect witness information, and note any unsafe conditions.

  4. Exchange Information – Get the other driver’s license, registration, and insurance details.

  5. Avoid Admitting Fault – Speak carefully; let the investigation determine fault.

  6. Contact a Florida Car Accident Lawyer – Before speaking with insurance adjusters, call Your Injury Firm for a free consultation.

Our attorneys will evaluate your claim, explain your rights under Florida’s no-fault system, and handle the next steps for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I do immediately after a car accident in Florida?

    Ensure safety, call 911, and seek medical attention. Exchange information with the other driver and gather photos and witness details. Once safe, contact a Florida car accident attorney to protect your rights and deal with insurance companies.

  • Is Florida a no-fault state and what does that mean for my accident?

    Yes. Under Florida’s no-fault system, your own insurance (PIP) covers medical bills and lost wages up to $10,000. You may file a lawsuit only if your injuries meet the state’s serious injury threshold—our attorneys can determine if you qualify.

  • How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida?

    For most accidents after March 24, 2023, you have two years from the accident date to file. Older cases may follow the previous four-year rule. Speak to an attorney promptly to protect your claim.

  • What can a car accident lawyer do that I can’t do on my own?

    We handle investigations, identify liable parties, negotiate with insurers, and calculate the true value of your claim. Victims who hire attorneys often recover more—even after fees—than those who represent themselves.

  • The insurance adjuster is offering me a settlement—should I accept it?

    Not without legal advice. Early settlement offers often undervalue long-term costs like therapy or lost earning potential. Our firm can review the offer and fight for the full amount you deserve.
