Frequently Asked Questions About Florida Car Accident
Below are answers to some of the most common questions our clients ask regarding Florida car accidents. Understanding these can help you handle the aftermath of a car accident more confidently.
What should I do immediately after a car accident?
Your first priority should be safety. Move to a safe area away from traffic, check for injuries and call 911. Gathering evidence at the scene is also crucial—take photos of the vehicles, any visible injuries and the surrounding area. Collect important information such as the other driver’s license plate, contact details and insurance information. Even if you feel fine, seek medical attention since some injuries may not be immediately apparent. Finally, contact an attorney to guide you through the next steps and protect your rights.
Do I really need to file a police report after being in a car accident?
Yes, filing a police report after a car accident is essential, even if the incident seems minor. The police report serves as an official record of the accident, detailing the circumstances and the parties involved. This document can be crucial when dealing with insurance companies, as it provides an unbiased account of what happened. It can also be a vital piece of evidence if you need to file a personal injury claim or if the other party disputes your version of events. In Florida, it’s required by law to report accidents that result in injury, death or significant property damage.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?
In Florida, you generally have four years from the date of the car accident to file a personal injury claim. This time limit, known as the statute of limitations, is critical because if you fail to file within this period, you may lose your right to seek compensation. However, there are some exceptions that could either shorten or extend this timeframe, depending on the specifics of your case.
