Car Accidents in Ft. Lauderdale / Miami

Florida’s rapid growth and bustling roadways increase the likelihood of car accidents. Knowing the state’s auto accident laws is essential for anyone involved in a crash. Attorney Gabriel J. Carrera, based in Fort Lauderdale and serving South Florida, is here to guide you through these complex laws and help you protect your rights.

Fast Facts and Legal Insights on Florida Car Accidents

Key Aspects of Florida Car Accident Laws

  • Reporting an Accident: Florida law requires reporting crashes involving significant damage, injury, or death. Safe removal of vehicles from traffic and gathering essential information at the scene are crucial steps.
  • Insurance Coverage: Florida operates under a “no-fault” insurance system. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) covers medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault.
  • Comparative Negligence: Florida’s pure comparative negligence rules allow for compensation, even if you’re partly at fault, but the amount is adjusted based on your percentage of responsibility.
  • Statute of Limitations: For injuries, the deadline for filing a lawsuit is two years from the accident date. This recent change took effect on March 24, 2023.

Attorney Gabriel Carrera answered the call when we were called upon to help 5 kids who were suddenly without their parents. We needed a document drafted urgently and he was very understanding and put everything else on hold to get us the documented drafted right away. They're a lot of attorneys but not all have a human side like attorney Gabriel. I asked to make an adjustment and he did it from the comfort of his home after hours, and made sure I got it. I highly recommend you consulting with Attorney Gabriel Carrera if you need an attorney with a heart!

Right off the back, I knew I had the right guy for the job. Attorney Gabe Carrera was reassuring, calm, collected and knowledgeable. He made me feel at ease just minutes after sitting down with him, to go over my legal issues. Once he broke everything down I already felt a lot of weight being lifted from my shoulders. Very personable and you can tell his heart is truly in it, which is something very unexpected from other attorneys. He is constantly working on your case, very transparent as he does and follows up by phone to fill you in and to see how you are doing. Thank you Mr. Carrera for getting the false allegations against me dismissed successfully, professionally and efficiently, Of course one always prays you are never in any situation where you need an attorney. But it feels good to know that if such a situation arises, I have the Attorney That Rides just a phone call away. God Bless you good sir!
