What should I do after a car accident in St. Petersburg?
Call 911 so St. Petersburg Police or the Florida Highway Patrol document the crash, and get the report number. Photograph both vehicles, the intersection, and the road conditions. Exchange insurance details, collect witness contacts, and get evaluated at a Pinellas County emergency room or urgent care the same day if possible.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Pinellas County?
Pinellas County crashes follow Florida's statewide filing deadline for negligence claims, which the 2023 tort reform legislation shortened. The window that applies depends on your crash date and claim type, and claims involving a government vehicle carry separate notice requirements. Confirm your exact deadline with an attorney rather than assuming.
Is Florida a no-fault state for car accidents?
Yes. Your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays first for medical care and lost wages after a St. Petersburg crash, no matter who caused it. You can pursue the at-fault driver directly only when injuries meet Florida's serious injury threshold. Whether your injuries qualify is a case-specific question worth reviewing early.
How much does a St. Petersburg car accident lawyer cost?
These cases are typically handled on a contingency fee, so there is no attorney fee up front and the fee is taken from any recovery. Florida Bar rules regulate contingency percentages, and the rate plus how case costs are handled must appear in a written fee agreement. The initial case review is free.
