Injured in a Car Accident in Florida?
A serious car accident can change your life in seconds.
​
One moment you are driving to work or picking up your children. The next, you are facing emergency medical treatment, missed income, and uncertainty about what comes next.
​
If another driver’s negligence caused your injuries, you have the right to pursue compensation.
Schwartz Injury Law represents car accident victims throughout Florida. While our offices are located in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, we handle serious injury cases statewide and prepare every matter as if it is going to trial.
​
Insurance companies are trained to protect profits. We are built to protect you.

Why You Need an Experienced Car Accident Attorney
Florida car accident claims are not as simple as they appear. Insurance carriers move quickly to limit exposure. Adjusters may request recorded statements, push quick settlements, or dispute the severity of injuries.
​
Without legal representation, injured victims often accept far less than their case is worth.
​
An experienced Florida car accident attorney can:
​
-
Conduct a thorough investigation
-
Preserve critical evidence
-
Handle all insurance communications
-
Calculate the full value of damages
-
Negotiate from a position of strength
-
Prepare the case for trial if necessary
Insurance companies recognize law firms that are prepared to litigate. That recognition impacts outcomes.
Common Causes of Car Accidents
Many crashes result from preventable negligence, including:
​
-
Distracted driving (texting, phone use, in-vehicle systems)
-
Speeding and aggressive driving
-
Drunk or impaired driving
-
Failure to yield
-
Running red lights or stop signs
-
Tailgating
-
Fatigued driving
-
Unsafe lane changes
Heavy traffic throughout Florida increases the risk of serious collisions. When negligence leads to injury, accountability matters.

What Compensation May Be Available?
Depending on the circumstances, injured victims may be entitled to compensation for:
​
-
Medical expenses (past and future)
-
Rehabilitation and therapy costs
-
Lost wages
-
Loss of earning capacity
-
Pain and suffering
-
Emotional distress
-
Permanent impairment
-
Property damage
In wrongful death cases, families may pursue additional damages allowed under Florida law.
Our job is to pursue the full value of your claim — not the first number an insurance company offers.
Understanding Florida’s No-Fault Insurance System
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning drivers typically turn first to their own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage for medical expenses.
​
However, when injuries are serious or permanent, victims may step outside the no-fault system and pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.
​
Determining whether your injuries meet Florida’s legal threshold is critical. An experienced car accident lawyer can evaluate your situation and advise you on the appropriate course of action.

At Schwartz Injury Law, we take a litigation-focused approach from day one. That includes:

Preserving vehicle damage evidence
-
