Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in St. Petersburg?
Call 911 if there are injuries, contact St. Petersburg Police for an accident report, and seek medical attention even for minor pain. Florida's no-fault insurance requires you to report accidents to your insurance company within 24 hours, and delaying medical treatment can hurt your claim.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida?
Florida's statute of limitations is generally four years from the accident date for most personal injury cases. However, medical malpractice cases have a two-year limit with additional discovery rules, and wrongful death claims must be filed within two years of the death.
How do I choose the right personal injury attorney in St. Petersburg?
