Miami Car Accident Lawyers
Florida's no-fault system caps what your own policy pays. When your injuries are serious, we go after the at-fault driver and every insurer behind them.

How we handle car accidents cases
Miami-Dade records more traffic crashes than any other county in Florida, and the insurance companies know most people will accept the first number they hear. Personal Injury Protection covers only a statutory limit, and reimburses a percentage of medical bills rather than all of them. Both the limit and the percentage are set by statute and have been amended before, so confirm the current figures against the statute. A herniated disc, a shoulder surgery or a month off work burns through that in days.
Our car accident team steps in within 24 hours. We secure dashcam and traffic camera footage before it is overwritten, order the Florida crash report, photograph the scene and the vehicles, and send preservation letters to every insurer involved. You focus on treatment. We build the case that proves the serious and permanent injury threshold Florida law requires for pain and suffering.
Typical time from your call to a preservation letter going out. This is a practice fact, not a case result: we publish no settlement or verdict figures anywhere on this site.

What working with us looks like
Our car accidents process
Every case gets the same disciplined start, adapted to the evidence that matters most for this type of claim.
Protect the evidence
Camera footage, event data recorders and witness statements gathered in the first week.
Same dayDocument your injuries
We coordinate care with doctors who treat now and bill later, so money never delays treatment.
Week oneValue every loss
Medical projections, wage experts and life-care planners put a real number on your future.
Until maximum medical improvementNegotiate or file suit
If the insurer will not pay fair value, we file in Miami-Dade Circuit Court and prepare for trial.
When treatment is complete
Categories, not numbers
Compensation you may recover
Florida law allows injured people to recover economic and non-economic losses. What any individual claim is worth depends on its own evidence and on the insurance that is actually available, so we list the categories and never a figure.
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages and earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Vehicle repair or replacement
- Rental car and travel costs
- Mental anguish and loss of enjoyment of life
What affects the value of your case
- Severity of injury
- Surgery, permanent impairment or scarring meets Florida's threshold for non-economic damages.
- Available insurance
- Bodily injury limits, umbrella policies and your own uninsured motorist coverage set the recovery ceiling.
- Comparative fault
- Since 2023, Florida bars recovery if you are more than 50 percent at fault, so fault evidence matters.
- Treatment history
- Gaps in care are the first thing an adjuster uses to cut an offer. Consistent treatment protects value.
Three days after the crash, their investigator had the traffic camera video. The adjuster stopped treating the file as a nuisance the week it landed.

Every matter, in fullCar Accidents questions
Florida-specific answers. For advice on your situation, request a free review.
For crashes on or after March 24, 2023, Florida's statute of limitations for negligence is two years. Evidence disappears much sooner, so call as early as you can.
Yes. Florida PIP benefits require initial treatment within 14 days of the crash. Even if you feel fine, get checked. Many soft tissue and brain injuries show up later.
No. You are not required to, and those statements are used to minimize your claim. Refer the adjuster to us.
Your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage can pay the difference. We review every policy in your household, since UM coverage often stacks.
