A car crash can mean severe injuries to you or someone you care about. Recovery can take weeks or longer, and some catastrophic injuries can impact you for the rest of your life. You may not be able to work while you recover, and that means medical and household bills will pile up.
One accident may result in debt that follows you long after you have physically recovered, and emotional scars may never heal. If a negligent motorist caused your accident, you may be able to hold them financially accountable. Our Riviera Beach car accident lawyer can help.
GOLDLAW has recovered more than $1 billion for injured accident victims in South Florida. We hold accountable those who hurt others. Learn how our Riviera Beach personal injury lawyers can help when you call for your free consultation.
Don’t Take a Settlement Before Talking to Us
Florida is a No–Fault state for car insurance claims. That means you will first file a claim with your own insurer for damages such as medical care and lost wages. However, if your injuries are very serious, you can file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.
Insurance companies know this. They also know you may be hurting for cash at a time when you are unable to go to work. They might reach out with a settlement offer, which seems helpful at first. Unfortunately, an early settlement is often much lower than what you claim is worth.
The truth is, insurance companies are businesses, and they aren’t always on your side. Our Riviera Beach car accident attorneys will help you understand the No-Fault insurance framework and review any incoming offers to make sure they fully account for your damages.

Time Limits for Filing a Florida Car Accident Claim
Florida law gives injured accident victims a limited amount of time to file a personal injury lawsuit. In most cases, Florida Statutes § 95.11 allows two years from the date of the accident to bring a claim in court.
Claims involving a Florida government entity or public employee require presenting a written Notice of Claim to the appropriate agency and the Department of Financial Services within three years of the accident.
Because exceptions may apply in limited circumstances, consulting an experienced car accident attorney as soon as possible helps protect your rights to take legal action. Missing this statute of limitations can result in the court dismissing your claim, regardless of its merits.
