How a Personal Injury Claim Works in Florida

Florida requires most car accident victims to use their own no-fault insurance, known as PIP, before they can pursue a claim against the other driver. To step outside that no-fault system, your injury has to meet a specific legal threshold under Florida law, often called a "serious injury."

That's different from what we call a "catastrophic injury," which describes the more severe end of that same spectrum — things like brain, spinal, and paralysis injuries. We'll tell you plainly which category your case falls into and what that means for how we build it.

Step one:

Tell Us What Happened — This first conversation is free and comes with no pressure to hire us.

Step Two

We Review Your Case — We gather the police report and medical records and tell you honestly whether you have a case.

Step Three

We Handle the Insurance Company — You never negotiate with adjusters alone. We take that on for you.

Step Four

We Prepare to Win, However That Looks — Every file is built as if it's going to trial, because that's often what gets you a fair number in the first place.

Answers to the Questions We Hear Most

  • How does a personal injury claim work in Florida?

    Most claims start with your own PIP insurance, but if your injury meets Florida's serious injury threshold, you may be able to pursue a claim against the at-fault party directly. We'll evaluate your medical records and tell you plainly which path applies to your case.

  • How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

    Your consultation is free, and we work on contingency, so you don't pay us unless we recover money for you. There's no upfront cost and no obligation to hire us after that first conversation.

  • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

    Florida law sets a strict statute of limitations on personal injury claims, and it's shorter than most people expect. The sooner you call, the more options you'll have.

  • "Serious injury"

    "Serious injury" is a specific legal threshold under Florida law that determines whether you can step outside no-fault coverage. "Catastrophic injury" describes the more severe subset of those injuries, like brain, spinal, and paralysis cases, which typically involve lifetime care costs.

  • Do I have to go to court?

    Most personal injury cases settle before trial, and we negotiate hard to get you there. But we prepare every case as if it's going to trial, so we're ready if the insurance company doesn't offer what your case is worth.

The Sooner You Call, the Stronger Your Case

Evidence disappears fast — witnesses forget, surveillance footage gets erased, and insurance companies move quickly to lock in a low number before you know what your case is actually worth. Florida law also sets a hard deadline for filing a claim, and once it passes, your case is gone for good, regardless of how strong it was. Calling us doesn't commit you to anything — it just keeps your options open while they still are.
