Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle in Hollywood

Car crashes in South Florida come in many forms, from low-speed fender benders in Hollywood Beach parking lots to high-speed collisions on I-95 and US-1. We handle the full range of auto accident claims, and the investigation looks different depending on what caused the crash.

Rear-end collisions. Most rear-end crashes are caused by following too closely, distracted driving, or sudden braking. We work to prove the following driver’s inattention and push back when insurers try to blame our client for a stop that was lawful.
T-bone and intersection crashes. These happen at controlled and uncontrolled intersections throughout Hollywood. We use signal timing records, witness statements, and traffic camera footage, when available, to establish right-of-way and liability.
Head-on collisions. Often tied to drowsy driving, impaired driving, or wrong-way incidents, head-on wrecks produce some of the most serious injuries we see. Our firm works with accident reconstructionists when the facts are disputed.
Distracted driving crashes. Phone records, dashcam footage, and witness testimony can establish that a driver was texting, scrolling, or otherwise inattentive at the moment of impact.
DUI accidents. When impairment is involved, we pursue the drunk driver directly and, where applicable, commercial establishments that served a visibly intoxicated patron under Florida dram shop principles.
Hit-and-run accidents. Our attorneys coordinate with law enforcement and make the most of uninsured motorist coverage to pursue compensation even when the at-fault driver cannot be located.
Rideshare (Uber and Lyft) crashes. Rideshare claims involve layered insurance policies that trigger depending on driver status. We know how to identify which coverage applies and how to press it.
Truck accidents. When a passenger car collides with a tractor-trailer or box truck, federal motor carrier rules, electronic logging data, and company liability all come into play.

Florida Legal Requirements for Car Accident Claims

Florida is a no-fault state. Under Florida Statute § 627.736, every driver must carry at least $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. After a crash, your PIP pays up to that amount toward medical bills and a portion of lost wages regardless of fault. You can step outside no-fault and pursue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the statutory threshold of permanent injury, significant scarring, disfigurement, or death.

The deadline to sue is short. Under Florida Statute § 95.11, as amended by House Bill 837 in March 2023, injured parties have two years from the date of the crash to file a negligence lawsuit. Miss that window and your case is over regardless of how strong the facts are.

Florida also follows modified comparative negligence. Under Florida Statute § 768.81, if you are found more than 50% at fault for the crash, you recover nothing. Insurance adjusters know this and will try to shift blame onto you. One reason to speak with an attorney early is to avoid saying or signing something that gets used against you later.

Drivers must also report crashes involving injury, death, or more than $500 in property damage to law enforcement. The Florida Department of Highway Safety maintains the state’s official crash reporting system.

What Damages Are Recoverable in Hollywood Car Accident Cases?

Florida law allows injured drivers and passengers to recover three broad categories of damages after a car accident: economic, non-economic, and in rare cases, punitive.

Economic damages cover the quantifiable, out-of-pocket losses tied to the crash. These include current and future medical bills (emergency care, hospitalization, surgeries, imaging, physical therapy, prescriptions, and in-home care), lost wages during recovery, loss of future earning capacity if the injury affects your ability to work long-term, property damage to your vehicle, rental car costs, and any other documented financial losses. We work with treating physicians, life care planners, and economists when a case involves long-term or catastrophic injuries such as traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage, or permanent orthopedic impairment.

Non-economic damages compensate for the human cost of being hurt. This category covers physical pain, emotional suffering, anxiety, depression, loss of enjoyment of life, loss of consortium, and the psychological impact of scarring or disfigurement. These losses are real, but they don’t come with receipts. Calculating them accurately takes careful documentation, consistent medical records, and in some cases expert testimony.

Punitive damages are rare and reserved for cases involving truly reckless or intentional conduct, such as a driver with a high blood alcohol content, repeat DUI offenders, or street racing. Under Florida law, punitive damages require clear and convincing evidence that the defendant acted with gross negligence or intentional misconduct, and they are subject to statutory caps in most situations.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Florida consistently ranks among the top states in the country for traffic fatalities and serious crash injuries. Each of those numbers represents a family that deserves a full accounting for what was taken from them. Our job is to make sure nothing is left on the table.
