Car Accident Attorney Florida
What You Should Know After a Florida Car Accident
Florida law requires drivers involved in crashes with injury, death, or at least $500 in property damage to notify law enforcement or file a Driver Report of Traffic Crash (Self Report).
Florida also mandates that motor vehicle owners maintain minimum insurance coverage for liability and personal injury protection (PIP). Florida’s statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the accident, following recent changes.
Because of these legal deadlines and insurance obligations, prompt action is essential. The decisions you make in the days and weeks after a crash can affect your ability to recover full and fair compensation.

What To Do After a Car Accident
If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t wait. Seek medical attention, document everything you can (photos of damage and injuries, names of witnesses, the crash report), and contact an attorney experienced in Florida car-accident law. The sooner you start, the better we can preserve evidence and protect your rights. At Tarnovsky Lopez we offer a free, no-obligation consultation so you can understand your options before you commit to anything.
How Tarnovsky Lopez Can Help
From the moment you call us, our team treats your case as a priority. We begin with a thorough review of what happened: the crash details, the insurance coverage in place, your injuries, and how the accident has affected your life. We help you navigate the documentation—medical records, treatment timelines, crash reports—so that your claim is built on a strong foundation rather than guesswork.
We demand accountability from insurers and opposing parties. That means negotiating with insurance companies, challenging unfair tactics, and if necessary, filing suit within the timeframe required by Florida law. Throughout the process we remain mindful of the emotional impact of your injuries and loss—which is why we communicate clearly and empathetically.
We also invest in local Florida knowledge: which courts handle car-accident cases in your county, how local juries view such cases, and what strategies tend to succeed (or fail) in your region. All of this ensures that your claim is handled not like a generic template, but like the unique situation it really is.

Florida Insurance Claims & Litigation Attorneys
- Property Insurance Claims
- Personal Injury
- Medical Malpractice
A personal injury claim in Florida arises when someone is injured because of another person’s negligence or wrongdoing — such as in a car accident, slip and fall, or other preventable incident. These cases seek compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases, property damage.
If you were hurt because another person, business, or property owner failed to act responsibly, you may have a valid claim. Common examples include distracted driving, unsafe premises, or defective products. Our attorneys can review your situation and determine whether you’re entitled to pursue compensation.
Under Florida law, most personal injury cases must be filed within two years from the date of the accident. Certain exceptions may apply — especially in cases involving minors or government entities — so it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
You may be eligible to recover economic damages such as medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and lost income, as well as non-economic damages like pain and suffering or emotional distress. In severe cases, punitive damages may also be available to punish reckless behavior.
