Personal Injury Lawyers in Florida
From Miami and Orlando to Tampa and Jacksonville, Florida sees a high volume of personal injury claims each year — car accidents, slip and fall at hotels and resorts, and workplace injuries. Here's what to know before contacting an attorney.
What's different about Florida
Florida has moved to a modified comparative negligence system, generally barring recovery if you're found more than 50% at fault. Florida is also a "no-fault" state for many auto accidents, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage typically pays initial medical costs regardless of fault — though serious injuries can still support a separate claim against the at-fault driver.
Filing deadlines
Florida's statute of limitations for personal injury claims was shortened in recent years, and claims against a government entity require even faster notice. Because these rules have changed relatively recently, confirming your exact deadline with a licensed Florida attorney is especially important.
