Florida roads aren’t always sunshine and smooth rides. With distracted drivers, aggressive behavior, and ever-growing traffic, car accidents in Florida are more common than you think. And when life hits the brakes hard, you need someone who’ll hit the gas for justice.
That’s where we come in.
Whether it’s a fender bender in downtown Orlando or a serious crash on I-4, the DeWitt Law Firm is here to stand up, speak out, and secure the compensation you’re entitled to.
The truth? Most crashes aren’t “accidents”; they’re caused by negligence. And under Florida law, if someone else’s reckless or careless driving left you injured, you may be entitled to significant compensation beyond what no-fault insurance covers.
Florida follows a no-fault insurance model, meaning your own insurance covers some of your damages, regardless of who caused the accident. But that only goes so far.
To recover pain and suffering or full compensation, you need to step outside the no-fault system by proving the other driver’s negligence and that your injuries meet Florida’s serious injury threshold.
And yes, we handle that entire process for you.
At the DeWitt Law Firm, we don’t let insurance companies treat you like a stereotype. We build strong, evidence-backed claims that cover the full scope of your damages:
Because we don’t just talk the talk, we’ve been walking clients to justice across Florida for over two decades. When insurance companies stall, we step in. When they underpay, we up the pressure.
Car accident law in Florida is unique. Our attorneys know the system inside and out, from comparative fault rules to PIP limitations, and we use that knowledge to fight smarter.
We go to war for our clients, we never forget you're a person, not just a case file. We keep you informed, heard, and confident throughout the legal process.
No upfront fees. No hidden costs. We only get paid when you do. That’s our promise.
Technically, no, but let’s be real. Trying to battle an insurance company on your own is like bringing a butter knife to a gunfight. Insurance companies have trained adjusters and legal teams. You should have a Florida personal injury attorney in your corner to level the playing field and make sure you’re not lowballed or dismissed.
After recent legal changes, the deadline to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida is now two years from the date of the accident. Miss it, and your case may be gone for good. So don’t wait: the sooner you act, the stronger your case.
Every case is unique, but compensation may include:
Our goal? To fight for every dollar you deserve.
Yes, Florida uses a modified comparative fault rule. If you were less than 51% at fault, you can still recover damages, though they’ll be reduced by your percentage of fault. Example: If you were 20% at fault, you’d still get 80% of the settlement amount.
“No-fault” means your own insurance (PIP coverage) pays for certain expenses like medical bills and lost income, regardless of who caused the crash. But to go beyond PIP and recover full compensation (like pain and suffering), you must prove serious injury and negligence by the other driver. That’s where we come in.
