“…I wish I could give 10 stars. I had an accident and brought my case to Mr. Ohr’s office and from day one he and his staff were friendly, patient and treated my wife and I with respect and made us feel comfortable knowing that we were in good hands and they went above and beyond to defend me… Mr. Ohr always sat down with us and calmly explain where we were in the case and went through all the details… We won a settlement thanks to Mr. Ohr and his team. I highly recommend his services. He and his staff will all give their best for you…”

Florida’s No-Fault System and When You Can Step Outside It

Florida requires drivers to carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage that helps cover their medical bills and lost wages after a crash, regardless of fault. PIP can generally pay up to $10,000, but only if you receive treatment within 14 days of the crash. Miss that window, and your insurer can deny the claim entirely.

While many aspects of Florida’s no-fault system make it easier to pay for the immediate costs of a crash, PIP alone seldom covers the true price of a severe auto accident. In those cases, state law may allow you to step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the driver who caused the crash. However, you must prove that your car accident injuries meet Florida’s serious injury threshold.

Our team can also help you explore uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage if the at-fault driver did not carry enough insurance. Visit our pages on Florida PIP coverage and uninsured and underinsured motorist claims for a deeper look at how each of these options works.

Car Accident Fault and Claim Deadlines in Florida

Just proving that your injuries qualify you to file a car accident claim isn’t the only hurdle you have to cross to obtain compensation. You must first establish that the other driver caused the collision, making them responsible for your injuries and losses, and then meet the filing deadline for your case.

Florida’s Comparative Negligence Rule

Determining who was at fault is rarely simple. Most Hollywood car accidents involve multiple road users and a variety of contributing factors, so liability for the crash is often shared between multiple parties.

Fortunately, Florida law still allows a path to compensation even if you bear some of the blame for the accident. Here’s how that works:

  • If you are found more than 50 percent at fault for your crash, you cannot recover compensation at all.
  • If your share of fault is 50 percent or less, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of responsibility rather than eliminated.

Because your financial recovery depends on how fault gets assigned, a thorough investigation into what really happened matters more than ever.

Car Accident Lawsuit Deadline

Florida law also gives you a limited window to act after a Hollywood car crash. Under the state’s filing deadline, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Wait too long, and you may lose your right to pursue compensation, no matter how strong your case is.

What Compensation Can Hollywood Car Accident Victims Recover?

Depending on the factors involved in your case, you may be entitled to car accident compensation for:

  • Past and future medical treatment
  • Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity
  • Pain and suffering
  • Vehicle repair or replacement costs

Where Crashes Happen in Hollywood and Broward County

Broward County records tens of thousands of traffic crashes every year, according to the FLHSMV Crash Dashboard, and Hollywood’s busiest corridors see more than their share.

Our Hollywood car accident attorneys often handle cases after serious collisions on roads with heavy traffic volume and complex intersections, such as:

  • Hollywood Boulevard
  • Sheridan Street
  • US-1/Federal Highway
  • Interstate 95
  • State Road 7/441

If you were hurt on any of these roads, Memorial Regional Hospital is frequently the closest trauma center for treatment. The Hollywood Police Department or the Florida Highway Patrol tends to respond to these collisions. You can request a copy of your crash report through Florida’s online Crash Portal, or our team can help you track that police report down when we’re preparing your claim.

Talk to a Hollywood Car Accident Lawyer at Rosen & Ohr, P.A. Today

The days and months after being injured in a Hollywood car accident can feel lonely and overwhelming. But you don’t have to face the insurance companies on your own.

Rosen & Ohr, P.A. has represented South Florida accident victims since 1965, and our attorneys are ready to put that experience to work for you. Contact us today for a free consultation, and let us start building your case.

  • 1. What should I do immediately after a car accident in Florida?

    Your safety comes first. Check for injuries, call 911, and request medical assistance. Move vehicles out of traffic if possible, exchange information with the other driver, and take photos of the scene. Even if you feel fine, get a medical exam and contact an attorney before speaking with any insurance company.

  • 2. How can I obtain a copy of my police report after a crash?

    You can request your crash report through the investigating law enforcement agency or Florida’s online Crash Portal. You will typically need the crash date, location, vehicle information, and the report number if available.

  • 3. What if the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured?

    If the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance, you may still be able to recover compensation through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. A lawyer can also determine whether additional parties or policies may apply to your case.

  • 4. What evidence can help support my car accident claim?

    Important evidence includes medical records, photos of the scene, vehicle damage, witness statements, the police report, and receipts for accident-related expenses. In serious cases, accident reconstruction experts may be used to support your claim.

  • 5. How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida?

    Florida typically gives you two years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline usually results in losing your right to pursue compensation, so it’s important to contact a lawyer quickly.

  • 6. Can I recover compensation if I was partially at fault for the accident?

    Yes. Under Florida’s comparative negligence rule, you can still recover damages if you were partly at fault — your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of responsibility.

  • 7. What types of compensation are available after a car accident?

    You may be able to recover compensation for medical bills, lost wages, reduced earning capacity, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses. In wrongful death cases, surviving family members may also recover funeral expenses and loss of support.

  • 8. Do I really need a lawyer after a car accident?

    Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts, even for their own policyholders. An attorney protects your rights, handles negotiations, gathers evidence, and works to secure the full compensation you deserve — especially in cases involving injuries, disputed liability, or significant damages.

  • 9. How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?

    Our firm works on a contingency-fee basis. You pay no upfront fees, and we only get paid if we recover compensation for you.

  • 10. How long will my Florida car accident case take to resolve?

    The timeline depends on the severity of your injuries, the insurance company’s cooperation, whether liability is disputed, and whether litigation becomes necessary. Some cases settle within months, while more complex cases take longer. Your attorney will explain what to expect based on your situation.
