important PERSONAL INJURY FAQ

Answers from Ehrlich & Naparstek Personal Injury Lawyers

Get answers to the most frequently asked questions about personal injury cases from Ehrlich & Naparstek Personal Injury Lawyers. Learn about your legal rights, the claims process, and how to handle insurance companies effectively.

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Florida?

In Florida, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. This means that if you've been injured, you have two years to initiate legal proceedings. If you fail to file your lawsuit within this time frame, you may lose your right to seek compensation.

How is fault determined in Florida auto accidents?

Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system. This means that after most traffic accidents, your own insurance policy will compensate you for medical expenses and lost income, irrespective of who was at fault. However, in severe injury cases, you might be able to step outside this no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the at-fault driver.

What is Florida's comparative negligence rule?

Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule (under HB 837, effective March 24, 2023). If a plaintiff is found more than 50% at fault for their own injuries, they cannot recover damages in most negligence actions. If they are 50% or less at fault, their compensation is reduced by their percentage of fault.

What damages can I recover in a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?

In Florida, you can seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include tangible costs like medical bills and lost wages, while non-economic damages cover intangibles like pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.

How long does it typically take to settle a personal injury case in Florida?

The duration varies based on the complexity of the case, the parties involved, and the evidence. While some cases might settle quickly, others, especially those that go to trial, can take months or even years to resolve.

How much will it cost me to hire a personal injury attorney?

We operate on a contingency fee basis. This means that we only get paid if you win your case or secure a settlement. Typically, the fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive.

What should I do immediately after an accident in Florida?

First, prioritize your safety and seek medical attention. Then, if possible, document the scene, take photographs, gather witness information, and report the incident to the police or relevant authorities. It's also advisable to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible.

What if the person who hit me doesn't have insurance?

If you're hit by an uninsured or underinsured driver in Florida, you can turn to your own insurance policy's uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This coverage can help compensate for your injuries and damages.

How do I prove pain and suffering in a personal injury case?

Pain and suffering are subjective and can be challenging to quantify. Evidence such as medical records, therapy sessions, personal journals, and testimonies from friends and family can help establish the extent of your pain and suffering.

FLORIDA CITIES & PERSONAL INJURY CASE TYPES WE SERVICE

DEDICATED REPRESENTATION IN FLORIDA'S MAJOR METROPOLITAN AREAS

At Ehrlich & Naparstek, we offer comprehensive legal solutions across a broad spectrum of personal injury areas, ensuring our clients receive the dedicated and expert representation they deserve. Our seasoned attorneys are committed to championing the rights of injury victims and securing the compensation they are entitled to. Below is an overview of the key cities and each case type we service in Florida.

West Palm Beach is the county seat of Palm Beach County and the commercial hub of a county that spans more than 2,200 square miles — one of the largest counties in the eastern United States. With a city population of approximately 117,000 and a metro area exceeding 1.5 million, West Palm Beach generates a volume and variety of personal injury cases ranging from urban pedestrian accidents to multi-vehicle highway crashes on I-95. The most accident-heavy locations include the I-95/Okeechobee Boulevard interchange (one of the county's most consistently reported crash zones), US-1 (South Dixie Highway) through the downtown and Northwood Village sections, Southern Boulevard between downtown and Royal Palm Beach, and Belvedere Road near Palm Beach International Airport. The Clematis Street entertainment district sees significant pedestrian accident activity, particularly on weekend evenings. Serious injury victims in West Palm Beach are served by St. Mary's Medical Center, Good Samaritan Medical Center, and JFK Medical Center in nearby Atlantis. Palm Beach County personal injury cases are heard at the Palm Beach County Courthouse at 205 N. Dixie Highway. West Palm Beach's role as a transportation hub compounds injury risk: the airport generates heavy rental car traffic from unfamiliar drivers; the Port of Palm Beach brings commercial trucking to surface streets; and downtown's ongoing construction creates both worksite and pedestrian hazards. Ehrlich & Naparstek has appeared regularly in Palm Beach County courts for 30+ years and is prepared to pursue your claim aggressively.
Port St. Lucie is St. Lucie County's largest city and one of Florida's fastest-growing municipalities, with a population now exceeding 230,000. That growth — concentrated in master-planned communities like Tradition on the west side and established neighborhoods along Port St. Lucie Boulevard and Crosstown Parkway — has created traffic volumes that its road network was not designed to handle. Rear-end collisions, red-light T-bone accidents, and pedestrian strikes are the most common case types we handle in this city. The most injury-prone corridors in Port St. Lucie include Port St. Lucie Boulevard between US-1 and I-95, the Crosstown Parkway interchange, Gatlin Boulevard in the Tradition area, and Floresta Drive through the central residential grid. The area around Southern Grove near Becker Road has seen a significant increase in accidents as new warehouse and industrial facilities generate heavy vehicle traffic through residential zones. Injury victims in Port St. Lucie are primarily served by HCA Florida Tradition Hospital in the Tradition community and Lawnwood Regional Medical Center in Fort Pierce. Civil litigation in St. Lucie County proceeds through the 19th Judicial Circuit courthouse at 218 S. 2nd St. in Fort Pierce. Ehrlich & Naparstek has represented injured Port St. Lucie residents throughout the Treasure Coast for 30+ years. We handle car and truck accidents, construction zone injuries, slip and fall cases, and wrongful death claims throughout St. Lucie County. Contact our office for a free case evaluation — the sooner we begin, the sooner we can start preserving evidence critical to your recovery.
Stuart, the county seat of Martin County, sits at the heart of Florida's Treasure Coast. With a county population approaching 170,000, Stuart sees consistent personal injury activity along its busiest corridors — US-1 (Federal Highway), SE Monterey Road, and the high-traffic intersections near the Veterans Memorial Bridge and SE Ocean Boulevard. The area's waterways — the St. Lucie River, Manatee Pocket, and the Okeechobee Waterway — also make Stuart one of Florida's more active zones for boating accident claims, a specialized area involving both state statutes and federal maritime rules. Injury victims in Stuart are typically treated at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital on SE Federal Highway (formerly Martin Memorial Hospital), or Cleveland Clinic Martin South in Hobe Sound. Civil personal injury cases in Martin County proceed through the Martin County Courthouse at 100 SE Ocean Blvd. in downtown Stuart. Stuart's traffic patterns create predictable injury risks. Snowbird season — November through April — floods US-1 with unfamiliar drivers, significantly increasing rear-end and intersection collision rates. SR-714 (Martin Highway) carries heavy agricultural truck traffic with wide-turn and rear-end hazards. The boat ramp areas near the Manatee Pocket see concentrated watercraft activity on weekends that elevates the risk of on-water collisions. Ehrlich & Naparstek has served Stuart and Martin County residents for 30+ years. We represent clients injured in car accidents on Federal Highway, slip and fall incidents along the US-1 commercial corridor, workplace injuries in Martin County's industrial sector, and boating accidents throughout Treasure Coast waterways. If negligence left you or a family member seriously hurt in Stuart, we are prepared to investigate your case and fight for full compensation.
