7. What should I do immediately after a car accident in Florida?

  • Answer: Check for injuries and call 911, seek medical attention within 14 days to protect your PIP benefits, take photos of the scene and vehicle damage, exchange information with other drivers, and contact an experienced car accident attorney before speaking with insurance adjusters.

8. What is the 14-day rule for Florida PIP insurance?

  • Answer: Under Florida law, you must seek initial medical treatment within 14 days of a motor vehicle accident to qualify for Personal Injury Protection (PIP) medical benefits. Missing this window can forfeit your right to insurance coverage for your medical care.

9. How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

  • Answer: For standard negligence and car accident claims, Florida law generally gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a formal lawsuit. Waiting too long can bar you from recovering compensation.

10. Are motorcycles covered under Florida PIP insurance?

  • Answer: No. Motorcycles are excluded from standard Florida PIP insurance requirements. Because motorcycle accidents often result in severe injuries, working with an attorney is critical to navigate liability and pursue recovery through bodily injury coverage or third-party claims.

11. What is premises liability and what do I do if I slip and fall on a property?

  • Answer: Premises liability holds property owners accountable when negligence causes injuries on their premises, such as slips, trips, or falls due to wet floors or poor maintenance. If you fall, report it to the property manager immediately, photograph the hazard, gather witness details, and seek medical care.

12. What is a wrongful death claim and who can file it?

  • Answer: A wrongful death claim allows surviving family members to seek compensation when a loved one dies due to another party’s negligence or misconduct. In Florida, the personal representative of the deceased person’s estate must file the lawsuit on behalf of surviving spouses, children, parents, or dependent relatives.

13. What damages can I recover in a personal injury lawsuit?

  • Answer: Depending on the specifics of your case, you may recover compensation for past and future medical expenses, lost wages, loss of earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.

14. What if the driver who hit me is uninsured or underinsured?

  • Answer: If an uninsured or underinsured motorist causes your accident, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) insurance coverage, provided it was included in your policy. An attorney can help evaluate your policy limits.

  • Answer: We handle a broad range of civil litigation matters, including real estate disputes, contract disagreements, regulatory compliance issues, and commercial conflicts, protecting both individuals and small business interests.

16. What common real estate disputes require litigation in Florida?

  • Answer: Real estate litigation frequently involves breach of purchase contracts, boundary and easement disagreements, title defects, landlord-tenant disputes, and construction defect claims. Having legal counsel helps protect your property investments.

17. Can an attorney review my real estate contract before I sign?

  • Answer: Yes. Having a real estate attorney review your residential or commercial purchase agreement, lease, or closing documents helps identify hidden liabilities, unfavorable contingencies, and potential legal pitfalls before you sign.

18. What is a breach of contract in a civil litigation context?

  • Answer: A breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill their legal obligations under a binding agreement. Civil litigation allows the injured party to seek remedies such as financial damages, specific performance, or contract rescission.

21. What steps should I take to legally structure or protect a new business venture?

  • Answer: Proper business formation involves choosing the right corporate structure (such as an LLC or corporation), drafting operating agreements, securing local business tax receipts, and ensuring compliance with state and federal regulations to protect your personal assets.
