Understanding Florida’s Comparative Negligence Laws in Auto Accident Claims

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means that if you are found partially at fault for an accident, your compensation can be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault, and if you are found more than 50% at fault, you cannot recover damages at all. Insurance companies know this and will often try to shift as much blame as possible onto the injured party to minimize or eliminate a payout.

This is one of the most important reasons to have a skilled attorney on your side. An experienced lawyer can gather the right evidence, challenge unfair fault determinations, and clearly present the facts to show why the other party bears the majority, or all, of the responsibility for your injuries. At Ullian Trial Law, we know how to push back against these tactics and work to keep fault percentages where they belong, so your recovery is protected.

Key Evidence That Strengthens Your Florida Auto Accident Case

Strong evidence is the foundation of any successful auto accident claim. Some of the most valuable forms of evidence include photographs of the accident scene, vehicle damage, skid marks, and any visible injuries; police reports; statements from eyewitnesses; medical records and bills; and, where available, traffic or surveillance camera footage. In some cases, expert analysis of vehicle data or accident reconstruction can also be critical.

Our team knows where to look, what to request, and how to preserve evidence before it’s gone. By building your case methodically from day one, Ullian Trial Law can position you for the strongest possible outcome in negotiations or at trial.

How Long You Have to File an Auto Accident Claim in Florida

Florida law places strict time limits on filing a personal injury lawsuit after an auto accident. In most cases, you have two years from the date of the crash to take legal action. Miss that deadline, and the court will almost certainly dismiss your case, no matter how strong your evidence is or how severe your injuries are.

It’s also worth noting that certain circumstances, such as accidents involving government entities or cases where injuries are not immediately apparent, can affect the timeline. The sooner you speak with an attorney, the better your chances of avoiding deadline pitfalls and ensuring all necessary filings are made on time.

Ullian Trial Law takes these deadlines seriously. We move quickly to evaluate your case, gather evidence, and file the necessary paperwork so you can focus on your recovery while we focus on protecting your rights.
