What To Do After A Motor Vehicle Crash In Florida (First 72 Hours)
The first few days after a car accident are critical. Here are some recommended steps to protect yourself and build a strong foundation for a legal claim:
- Call 911 and obtain a crash report to document the incident.
- Photograph the scene, vehicles and any visible injuries (if you can do so safely).
- Seek a medical evaluation within 14 days of the car accident to preserve personal injury protection (PIP) benefits.
- Avoid giving recorded statements to the insurance company before consulting a car accident lawyer
- Save all documentation, including repair estimates, medical records, proof of wage losses and witness information.
Early legal intervention helps preserve evidence, protect your rights and avoid missteps that can weaken your car accident injury claim.
Florida Auto Injury Basics You Should Know
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system. This means your own insurance company pays for initial medical expenses after a car accident through PIP coverage, regardless of fault. However, if injuries are serious or permanent, the injured party may pursue financial compensation from the at-fault driver’s bodily injury coverage.
Additional coverages that may apply in car accident cases include:
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) – for cases where the other driver lacks sufficient coverage
- Medical payments (MedPay) – optional coverage that supplements PIP
- Property damage liability – for vehicle repairs or replacement
Attorney Rashad Green can identify all applicable policy layers and explains how fault, coverage and damages interact. He also evaluates whether distracted driving, speeding or impairment may affect liability and case strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accidents
It’s normal to have questions after a car accident. Here are some answers.
How does an accident affect your auto insurance?
A car accident can lead to increased premiums, especially if you are found to be at fault. Even if you’re not at fault, your insurance company may reassess your risk profile. Attorney Green can help you understand how claims may impact coverage and future costs.
Do you have to see a doctor within 14 days of the car accident?
Yes. Florida law requires medical evaluation within 14 days to access PIP benefits. Delaying treatment can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation for medical expenses.
How long do you have to file a claim?
In Florida, the statute of limitations (deadline) for most car accident claims is two years from the date of the crash. Certain factors – such as government vehicles or wrongful death – may affect this timeline. It’s important to consult a car accident lawyer early to confirm deadlines and preserve your rights.
