Car Accident Cases We Handle 

We handle the full range of motor-vehicle crash claims in and around Riverview. 

That includes cases involving:

• Distracted driving – Collisions caused by texting, using apps, adjusting navigation, or any behavior that takes eyes and attention off the road.
• Drowsy driving – Crashes where a tired driver drifts between lanes, reacts too slowly, or falls asleep at the wheel.
• Reckless driving – High-speed, tailgating, weaving, and other aggressive driving that turns ordinary roads into danger zones.
• Uninsured and underinsured motorists – Situations where the at-fault driver has no coverage or too little; we pursue compensation through UM/UIM and any other available insurance.
• Auto product defects – Cases where failed brakes, tires, airbags, steering components, or other defects contribute to the crash or make injuries worse.
• Drunk or drug-impaired driving – DUI-related wrecks that often lead to severe, preventable injuries and long-term consequences.
• Rideshare crashes (Uber & Lyft) – Claims involving injured passengers, other drivers, cyclists, or pedestrians when a rideshare vehicle is involved.
• Fatal crashes and wrongful death – Collisions that cost a life and leave families facing grief, financial strain, and the need for accountability.

Whether your case stems from a single negligent driver or a mix of bad driving, bad roads, and bad vehicles, we’re equipped to sort out what happened and pursue the compensation you and your family may be owed.

Common Causes of Crashes in Growing Communities Like Riverview

As Riverview expands, traffic patterns become more complex. Congestion near interchanges, commercial centers, schools, and residential developments increases the risk of:

• Rear-end collisions in stop-and-go traffic
• Intersection crashes when drivers rush to beat red lights
• Left-turn collisions when visibility is limited
• Side-impact collisions in parking lots and access roads
• Speeding-related crashes where drivers treat local roads like highways

Behind nearly all of these is a common theme: preventable driver error. Our job is to identify what went wrong, who had the responsibility to prevent it, and how to hold that party accountable under Florida law.

Understanding Insurance and PIP After a Car Accident

Florida’s insurance system can be confusing. After a crash, several types of coverage may come into play:

• PIP (Personal Injury Protection) – Typically covers a portion of your medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault, up to policy limits.
• Bodily Injury Liability – Coverage held by the at-fault driver to compensate injured victims, when available.
• UM/UIM Coverage – Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage that can help when the negligent driver has no or insufficient insurance.
• Rideshare or Commercial Insurance – Higher or layered limits may apply when the at-fault driver was working for a company at the time.

We analyze all available coverage, explain how PIP interacts with your claim, and pursue compensation from every appropriate source so that you’re not left absorbing losses caused by someone else’s negligence.

How Settlements and Lawsuits Work in Car Accident Cases

Not every case goes to trial, but every serious case should be prepared as if it might. A typical Riverview car accident claim may involve:

• Investigation and Documentation – Gathering crash reports, photos, medical records, and witness information.
• Medical Evaluation and Treatment – Allowing your doctors time to understand your injuries and prognosis.
• Settlement Demands and Negotiations – Presenting evidence to the insurer and negotiating for a fair resolution.
• Filing a Lawsuit – If the insurer refuses to be reasonable, we file in court and move into formal litigation.
• Trial Preparation and Resolution – Many cases settle during litigation; others proceed to trial, where a jury decides liability and damages.

Throughout, we explain your options, outline the tradeoffs of settling versus litigating, and help you make informed decisions based on your goals and risk tolerance.

Time Limits for Filing a Car Accident Claim in Florida

Most car accident lawsuits in Florida must be filed within two years of the date of the crash. Wrongful death claims also generally carry a two-year limit from the date of death.

Shorter or different timelines may apply when:

• A government entity is involved
• The at-fault driver cannot be identified
• The injured person is a minor

Because evidence can disappear quickly and deadlines are strict, getting legal advice early is one of the best ways to protect your rights.
