After a car accident, the clock starts ticking and so do the insurance company's tactics. Adjusters move fast to get you to settle for far less than your case is worth. Before you accept any offer or sign any documents, speak with a car accident attorney who represents you, not the insurer.
Jeffrey Ville has helped Melbourne and Brevard County accident victims recover compensation for their injuries for over 35 years. He handles every aspect of your claim, from gathering evidence and dealing with insurers to negotiating your settlement or taking your case to court if necessary.
Florida is a no-fault state, which means your own PIP (Personal Injury Protection) insurance covers initial medical costs regardless of who caused the accident. However, if your injuries are serious, you may be entitled to step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver for:
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
Florida's statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is two years from the date of the accident. Do not wait. Critical evidence can disappear quickly, and delays can jeopardize your claim.
What if the other driver was uninsured?
If the at-fault driver had no insurance or insufficient coverage, you may be able to file a claim under your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. Jeffrey Ville can help you understand all available avenues for compensation.
