Urgent: The 14-Day Florida PIP Rule
In Florida, your own insurance provides Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which covers up to $10,000 of your medical bills and lost wages. However, to access these benefits, you must generally seek medical treatment within 14 days of the accident. If you wait past this 14-day window, you may be permanently barred from accessing your PIP benefits. Seek medical evaluation immediately at a Miami or Orlando area ER or urgent care to preserve your rights.
New Florida Law: The 2-Year Statute of Limitations
Due to the massive 2023 tort reform (HB 837), the time to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida has been cut in half. For accidents occurring after March 2023, the statute of limitations for negligence is now only two years. If you miss this strict deadline, you may lose your right to recover any compensation. This makes it more important than ever to contact a lawyer immediately so evidence can be preserved and your claim filed on time.

The 51% Fault Rule in Florida
Florida recently shifted from “pure” to “modified” comparative negligence. Under the new law, any party found to be more than 50% at fault for their own harm is generally barred from recovering any damages. Insurance companies will often aggressively try to shift the blame to you. We can use accident reconstruction experts to prove the other driver’s liability and protect your right to compensation.

Florida Car Accident FAQs
How much does a car accident lawyer cost in Florida?
The Law Offices of Jason Turchin handles all car accident cases on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no upfront attorney’s fees or out-of-pocket costs. We only get paid if we successfully recover a settlement or jury verdict for you.
What is the 14-day rule for Florida car accidents?
You must seek medical treatment for your injuries within 14 days of the crash to be eligible for your $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) benefits. If you fail to see a doctor within this window, your insurance company can deny coverage for some or all of your medical bills.
Can I still get money if I was partially at fault for the crash?
Yes, as long as you were 50% or less at fault. Under Florida’s new “modified comparative negligence” rule, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. However, if you are 51% or more at fault, you are generally barred from recovering any damages under the new 2023 laws.
How long do I have to sue for a car accident in Florida?
For most accidents occurring after March 2023, the statute of limitations is only two years from the date of the crash. It is often critical to act quickly to ensure evidence is preserved and your legal rights are protected.
Do I have to speak to the other driver’s insurance company?
No. You should never give a recorded statement to the at-fault driver’s insurance company without your lawyer present. Their goal is often to get you to admit fault or downplay your injuries to reduce the value of your claim.
