What to Do After a Car Accident in Miami ?

Knowing what to do immediately after a crash can protect your health and strengthen your claim.

Immediate Steps

  1. Get medical help right away. Even minor injuries can worsen later.

     

  2. Call 911 and ensure a police report is filed.

     

  3. Take photos and videos of vehicles, license plates, and road conditions.

     

  4. Collect contact information from witnesses and all drivers involved.

     

  5. Do not admit fault — even simple apologies can be used against you.

     

  6. Save all medical records and receipts.

     

  7. Contact a Miami car accident lawyer before speaking to insurance companies.

     

When to Call a Lawyer

If you suffered injuries, the insurance company disputes fault, or you receive a low offer, it’s time to speak to an attorney. The sooner we get involved, the more evidence we can preserve.

How a Miami Car Accident Attorney Helps

Insurance companies often prioritize their bottom line — not your recovery. We make sure your claim gets the attention and respect it deserves.

Our Approach

  • Investigation: gather crash reports, witness statements, and photos.

  • Evidence preservation: CCTV, dashcam, and vehicle data (EDR/black box).

  • Medical documentation: diagnosis, treatment, and future prognosis.

  • Negotiation: deal directly with insurance adjusters to pursue full compensation.

  • Litigation: take the case to court when fair settlements aren’t offered.

From start to finish, we handle everything — so you can focus on healing.

Florida Laws

Statute of Limitations

Most negligence-based claims must be filed within two years. Delaying can cost your right to compensation.

Modified Comparative Negligence (51% Rule)

If you’re 51% or more at fault, you can’t recover damages. If you’re 50% or less, your award is reduced by that percentage.

PIP / No-Fault Basics

Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers up to a basic limit for medical expenses regardless of fault. However, if you suffer serious injuries, you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the negligent driver for full damages.

Common Car Accident Types We Handle

Our firm handles all types of collisions throughout Miami-Dade, including:

Rear-End, T-Bone, Head-On, and Sideswipe Collisions

Caused by speeding, distraction, or failure to yield. These often lead to neck, back, or traumatic injuries.

Drunk or Drug-Impaired Driving

When a driver operates under the influence, victims may seek both compensatory and punitive damages.

Hit-and-Run Accidents

We pursue uninsured motorist (UM) coverage and coordinate with law enforcement to identify the at-fault driver.

Uber/Lyft, Truck, Motorcycle, and Pedestrian Accidents

We handle complex cases involving commercial policies and multiple insurers.

Damages You May Recover

Depending on your injuries and circumstances, you may recover compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Property and vehicle damage
  • Rehabilitation and therapy
  • Out-of-pocket expenses

Severe injury cases may also include long-term care or home modification costs.

FAQs – Miami Car Accident Lawyer

1. How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?

Most cases must be filed within two years, but certain exceptions may apply — call to confirm your deadline.

2. What if I’m partly at fault for the crash?

You can still recover damages under Florida’s 51% rule, as long as your share of fault is 50% or less.

3. Do I have to go to court?

Not necessarily. Most car accident cases settle, but we prepare each one as if trial were possible.

4. What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance?

We pursue compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM) when available.

5. How much is my case worth?

That depends on your injuries, medical costs, and long-term impact. We assess every case individually.

We include both property damage and lost wages as part of your compensation claim.
