Car Accident Facts for Florida
General reference only, not legal advice. Laws change and exceptions apply. Confirm with an attorney.
Filing Deadlines in Florida
Every state limits how long you have to bring a claim, and Florida is no exception. As a general reference, the personal-injury filing deadline runs about 2 years from the date of the crash. The window can be shorter when a claim involves a city, county, or state vehicle, and special rules can apply to minors and to wrongful death. Because missing the deadline can permanently end a claim, it is worth confirming the exact date that applies to you early.
Who Pays After a Florida Crash
Florida is a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection coverage may pay certain medical bills and lost wages first, with limits on when you can pursue the other driver directly. On top of that, Florida follows a pure comparative negligence rule, so you may recover even if you were mostly at fault, with your award reduced by your share of blame. These rules decide how much you can recover and from whom, and they are exactly the kind of thing an attorney sorts out so an insurer cannot use them against you.
Where Crashes Happen in Florida
Heavy traffic corridors tend to produce the most serious collisions. In Florida, that includes routes such as I-95, I-75, I-4, I-10, along with dense city streets and intersections in the metros below. High-speed interstate crashes, multi-vehicle pileups, and rideshare and commercial-truck collisions often involve more significant injuries and more than one insurer, which is where experienced representation matters most.
