Florida Car Accidents
Car accident lawyer in Florida.
Kovar Law Group handles Florida car accident claims from the first call through resolution. Below are direct answers to the questions people ask most after a crash.
What should I do after a car accident in Florida?
Check for injuries and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Move to a safe spot, then photograph the vehicles, the scene, and any visible injuries. Exchange driver, insurance, and witness details, get the crash report number, and see a doctor even if you feel fine. Report the crash to your insurer before giving any recorded statement.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
Florida sets a statutory deadline for filing a negligence lawsuit, and that deadline was shortened by the 2023 tort reform legislation. The window that applies to your crash depends on the date it happened and the type of claim. Because a missed deadline can end a case permanently, confirm your exact date with an attorney rather than assuming.
Is Florida a no-fault state for car accidents?
Yes. Florida is a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays first for medical bills and lost wages regardless of who caused the crash. You can step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver when injuries meet Florida's serious injury threshold. Whether your injuries qualify is a case-specific question.
How much does a car accident lawyer cost?
Car accident cases are typically handled on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fee up front and the fee comes out of any recovery. Florida caps and regulates contingency percentages through Bar rules, and the exact rate and cost handling must be set out in a written fee agreement. The case review itself is free.
