Car Accidents
As of January 1, 2020, there were over 17.5 million people licensed to drive in the state of Florida. With so many drivers on the roadways, car accidents are certain to happen. According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, in 2019 there were 400,863 car crashes in Florida.

Car accidents are a leading cause of injuries in Florida. A car accident can change your life in a matter of seconds. You may incur substantial property damage to your vehicle, bodily injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, permanent impairment, and pain and suffering.
It is critical to begin gathering evidence – physical evidence and witness accounts – as soon as possible after your car accident. As soon as our firm is retained, our investigators begin gathering and preserving critical evidence, by conducting a thorough inspection of the crash scene, including taking measurements, photographs, and witness statements. Skid marks and other important physical evidence at the accident scene can become weathered and worn over time, and it might become unavailable if not secured early on in your case. Eyewitnesses may also become unavailable or may not want to become involved in your case, the longer it takes to contact them. Usually, witness statements are more accurate the sooner they are taken after the accident.
