Car Accidents in Florida

Car crashes are an unfortunate daily reality across the state of Florida, with more than 1,000 collisions happening on average each day. In 2023, over 250,000 individuals were injured in traffic-related incidents, highlighting the importance of awareness and legal support following a crash.

One area that often causes confusion for accident victims is the timeline for taking legal action. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:

  • Statute of Limitations: In Florida, you generally have two years from the date of a crash to file a personal injury claim. This time frame is critical. Waiting too long can permanently prevent you from seeking compensation.
  • Time-Sensitive Evidence: Crash scenes change quickly. Skid marks fade, video surveillance is overwritten, and witnesses may become harder to find. Acting quickly ensures valuable evidence is preserved.
  • Medical Documentation: Getting medical treatment right away not only supports your health but strengthens your claim. Insurance companies often use delays in treatment to downplay or deny injury claims.
  • Insurance Deadlines: Insurance companies often have short windows—sometimes just a few days—for notifying them about an accident. A lawyer can handle this on your behalf to ensure no deadlines are missed.
  • Negotiation Takes Time: If your case doesn’t settle quickly, preparing for litigation can take months. The sooner you involve legal help, the sooner your attorney can begin building a strong case.

If you were involved in a crash, don’t wait to speak with a knowledgeable Fort Walton Beach car accident attorney. The steps you take in the early days after a crash can make a major difference in the outcome of your case.
