The Guide

What to Do After a Florida Car Accident

Five short sections. Read what you need, when you need it.

01

First 60 Minutes

Immediate Actions

  • Turn on hazard lights and move out of traffic if the vehicle is safe to drive.
  • Call 911 — even for minor accidents. A police report is critical evidence in Florida.
  • Do not move anyone seriously injured unless there is fire or ongoing danger.
  • Get medical help the same day. Adrenaline hides whiplash, concussions, and internal injuries.

02

Evidence

Document Everything at the Scene

  • Photos of all vehicles, damage, license plates, and the surrounding road.
  • Photos of skid marks, debris, traffic signs, signals, and weather conditions.
  • Photos of your own injuries — and new ones every few days as bruising develops.
  • Get the other driver's license, insurance card, and registration. Collect witness names and phone numbers.

03

Avoid

Mistakes That Destroy Florida Claims

  • Never say "I'm sorry" or "I'm fine" — both are quoted as admissions.
  • Never give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company.
  • Never accept the first quick settlement offer. Once you sign, you cannot reopen the case.
  • Stay off social media. Any photo will be used to argue you weren't really hurt.

04

Compensation

What You Can Claim

  • All medical bills — current and future, including rehab and therapy.
  • Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity.
  • Vehicle repair or full replacement value.
  • Pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

05

Florida Deadline

You Have 2 Years

  • Florida's statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is 2 years from the date of the crash (recent change from 4 years).
  • Property damage claims have a longer window — but evidence disappears fast.
  • Miss the deadline and you lose your right to compensation permanently.
  • The earlier you act, the stronger your case.
