How long do I have?
In most car accident injury cases, Florida gives you 2 years from the crash to file a lawsuit. Some claims, like ones against a city or state agency, have much shorter deadlines. Ask a lawyer to confirm yours.
Start with attorneys who handle car accident cases every day, then read what past clients say about how they were kept informed. A good fit answers your questions plainly and does not promise a number.
Look for experience with cases like yours, clear answers about fees, and reviews that mention communication. Many attorneys offer a free first consultation, so you can compare more than one.
Most car accident attorneys in Pensacola work on contingency: no fee unless they recover money for you. The percentage is agreed in writing before you sign.
Key legal rules affecting car accident claims in Florida
Florida settlements have been impacted by HB 837 tort reform. The shift to modified comparative negligence and shorter SOL give insurers more leverage. Minor injuries: $8K-$20K. Moderate (herniated discs, fractures): $30K-$100K. Serious (surgery, permanent disability): $200K+.
Reporting required: Any crash resulting in injury, death, or property damage of at least $500 must be reported.
CRITICAL: (1) Seek medical treatment within 14 DAYS for PIP. (2) File FR-10 within 10 days if police didn't respond. (3) Only 2 YEARS for PI lawsuit (reduced from 4 for post-March 2023 accidents). (4) 4 years for property damage. (5) Notify PIP insurer ASAP.
