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.

Car Accidents Are More Than Just Bad Luck!

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.

Medical bills (including future care)
Pain & suffering
Wrongful death (in tragic cases)
Lost income
Property damage

Florida Car Accident Claims: What You Need to Know

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.

Common Causes of Car Accidents in Florida:

Distracted driving
Drunk or impaired driving
Rear-end collisions
Hit-and-runs
Speeding and aggressive driving
Failure to yield or obey traffic signals
Unsafe lane changes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I really need a lawyer after a Florida car accident?

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:

  • Current & future medical bills
  • Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property damage
  • Loss of enjoyment of life
  • Wrongful death damages (in tragic cases)

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.
