When insurance companies look at an automobile crash, they see numbers. When we look at a crash, we see people. You are a victim, not just a claim. Our Royal Palm Beach car accident lawyers will investigate your case to ensure your full losses are considered in your compensation, treating you like a person, not a case.
You worry about getting better; the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine will take care of everything else.
What Damages Can Our Lawyers Obtain For A Car Collision?
Although all accidents are different, resulting in different damages, you can count on our personal injury lawyers to work to recover compensation for:
- Emergency and treatment bills
- Rehabilitation expenses
- Medical equipment and prescriptions
- Home or car modifications
- Long-term care expenses
- Lost income and benefits
- Diminished earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced enjoyment of life
How Florida’s Laws Affect Damages
Because Florida has no-fault laws, you typically first file to receive benefits from your personal injury protection (PIP) coverage (Florida Statutes § 627.7407). However, PIP only covers basic damages, like some medical bills and lost income. You can’t recover pain and suffering and similar damages.
To receive those additional damages, you must file with the other party’s insurance or sue them for personal injury. To do that, you must have serious injuries—loss of bodily function, loss of limb, disfigurement, etc. (Florida Statutes § 627.737).
Our attorneys know the ins and outs of insurance policy and tactics. Whether you need help getting appropriate damages through PIP coverage or you are facing pushback when filing against the other party, we can help.

Who Is Responsible For Your Florida Car Accident?
Often, another driver is responsible through their careless choices. When a driver fails to obey the rules of the road and causes harm, they are negligent. Examples include:
- Drunk driving
- Drowsy driving
- Distracted driving
- Illegal or improper turns
- Failure to yield
- Speeding
- Following too closely
- Ignoring signs or signals
- Wrong way driving
We may use evidence like traffic camera footage, police reports, and even blood tests to demonstrate that the other driver’s actions caused your injuries.
In some cases, more than one driver may have played a role; we can help sort out these multi-party collisions. We can also explore whether a driver’s employer could be held liable. For instance, trucking and taxi companies may share liability with their drivers.
Who Else Could Be Liable?
Other parties could have contributed to your crash, including:
- Car manufacturers
- Auto maintenance shops
- Tire companies
- Property owners
- Government entities
Faulty auto parts, botched equipment installations, and defective tires can all be the grounds for a suit. Likewise, property owners and government entities are obligated to maintain roadways. Failure to do so, leading to a hazard that affected your accident, could allow you to pursue damages from them.
How Long Do You Have To File For A Car Accident In Royal Palm Beach?
Unique factors in your case could lengthen or shorten the statute of limitations for you. Moreover, keep in mind that those statutes are for lawsuits—insurance coverage is different.
Regardless of the deadline in your case, make sure you report your accident to your insurance company quickly. Not only does this protect your possible damages, but it also establishes a record that an accident occurred.
Personal Injury Protection
To receive PIP benefits, you must receive medical care within 14 days of your accident (Florida Statutes § 627.736). Failure to do so could mean you won’t receive compensation for medical bills and other losses.
Personal Injury
In Florida, you typically have four years to file a personal injury lawsuit (Florida Statutes § 95.11). Your case could be tolled, meaning you have more time to file. Reasons include being unable to locate the liable party or if you are incapacitated.
Some factors can also shorten your window to file. When suing a municipality, you must provide notification in writing within six months of the date of injury (Florida Statutes § 768.28(6)(a)(1)).
Because of these variables, reach out to the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine as soon as possible to get information about the timeline of your case.
Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one to a car accident in Royal Palm Beach, you typically have two years to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Proving this kind of case can be different and presents its own challenges compared to personal injury, so don’t waste time getting answers.
