What to Do After an Orlando Car Accident
- Get to safety and call 911. Seek medical care immediately for pain, dizziness, or confusion.
- Document the scene. Photos of vehicles, skid marks, intersections, and injuries help prove liability.
- Exchange information. Drivers’ licenses, plate numbers, and insurance details.
- Ask for the crash report number. We can help you obtain the official report.
- Notify your insurer—don’t give a recorded statement without counsel.
- See a doctor right away. Florida’s PIP/no-fault benefits require timely treatment to preserve coverage.
- Call an attorney early. The sooner an Orlando car accident attorney is involved, the better we can protect evidence and your claim.
Florida Car-Accident Laws You Should Know
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) & the 14-Day Rule
Florida’s no-fault system provides PIP benefits (medical and limited wage loss) regardless of fault. To use PIP, you must receive initial treatment within 14 days of the crash. See F.S. §627.736.
Deadline to File a Lawsuit
For most negligence claims from crashes that occurred on or after March 24, 2023, the general deadline is two years. See F.S. §95.11.
Comparative Negligence (Shared Fault)
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence system. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault, and being more than 50% at fault can bar recovery in many negligence cases. See F.S. §768.81.
Crash Reports
You can request crash reports through the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles: FLHSMV crash reports portal or purchase online via FLHSMV Crash Report Purchasing.
Compensation an Orlando Car Accident Lawyer Can Pursue
- Medical expenses (ER, imaging, surgery, rehabilitation, future care)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, mental anguish, and loss of enjoyment of life
- Property damage and rental/repair costs
- Wrongful death damages for eligible family members
We calculate the full value of your claim and negotiate from a position of strength. When insurers refuse to be fair, we’re ready for trial.
