Florida uses modified comparative fault in covered negligence claims. If an injured person is found more than 50% at fault for their own harm, recovery can be barred, making evidence about how the crash happened especially important.

How The Nunez Law Firm can help after an accident
Legal work after an accident often centers on preserving evidence, understanding available insurance, documenting injuries and losses, and responding to disputed fault or settlement positions. The firm can review those issues and explain the next step based on the facts.
Review insurance coverage
Identify the policies, insurers, and coverage questions that can affect where a claim is made and what benefits may be available.
Preserve and collect evidence
Review crash reports, photographs, video, witness information, vehicle records, and other evidence that can become harder to obtain over time.
Analyze fault disputes
Compare physical evidence, records, and witness information with the parties’ accounts when responsibility for the accident is disputed or shared.
Document injuries and losses
Connect medical treatment, accident-related expenses, lost income information, and other documented losses to the claim record.
Communicate with insurers
Handle claim communications, liability positions, document requests, and settlement discussions with the insurers involved.
Evaluate litigation when needed
If a claim cannot be resolved, an attorney can evaluate whether litigation is appropriate and what deadlines or preservation steps require attention.
A Florida accident claim can involve more than the crash itself
Florida motor-vehicle claims can involve PIP benefits, insurance coverage questions, comparative fault, and evidence that may disappear with time. Knowing which issue matters first can prevent an avoidable problem later in the claim.
For many Florida motor-vehicle claims, Personal Injury Protection benefits can be affected by whether qualifying initial medical services and care are received within 14 days after the accident.
The review can include PIP, liability insurance, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage when those protections apply to the accident and the policies involved.
Legal deadlines vary by claim, while video, witness information, vehicle data, and other evidence may become harder to obtain with time. Early review can help identify what should be preserved.

Questions people often have before contacting the firm
Do I need a police report before I contact a lawyer?
No. If you have a report number or a copy of the report, keep it nearby, but you can contact the firm before the report is available.
What if I am not sure whether I have a case?
You can still request an initial consultation. The initial consultation helps the firm understand what happened, what injuries or losses are involved, what insurance information is available, and what questions need closer review.
What if the insurance company already made a settlement offer?
You can contact the firm before accepting an offer or signing a release. The significance of an offer depends on the injuries, treatment, available coverage, claimed losses, fault issues, and the terms of any release.
What if I may be partly at fault?
Do not assume that partial fault automatically ends a claim. Florida comparative-fault rules can affect recovery in negligence cases, and the effect depends on the evidence and the circumstances.
What if the other driver has little or no insurance?
The available options can depend on every policy connected to the accident. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may be important when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough coverage.
How soon should I contact the firm after an accident?
You can contact the firm as soon as practical. Early review can be useful when evidence may disappear, an insurer is requesting a statement or release, medical treatment is ongoing, or a legal deadline may apply.
Does contacting the firm create an attorney-client relationship?
No. Sending a message, calling, or participating in an initial consultation does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship. Representation begins only if the firm agrees to accept the matter and the required written agreement is completed.
Where does The Nunez Law Firm meet clients?
The firm has offices in Orlando and Fort Myers and handles personal injury matters throughout Florida.
