Collision Injuries

A car accident can turn an ordinary day into a nightmare of injuries, medical bills, and unanswered questions. When a negligent driver, trucking company, or rideshare operator causes a crash, you deserve more than a quick settlement offer designed to protect their bottom line. At John P. Sherman, PLLC, we fight to hold reckless drivers accountable and secure the full compensation you need to recover, rebuild, and move forward.

Legal Overview

How Collision Injury Claims Work in Florida

Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, which means that after a car accident your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for initial medical bills and a portion of lost wages, regardless of who caused the crash. However, PIP only covers up to $10,000, and it does not compensate you for pain and suffering. When injuries are serious, such as significant scarring, permanent limitation of a body function, or permanent injury, Florida law allows you to step outside the no-fault system and file a claim directly against the at-fault driver.

Whether the collision involved a distracted driver, a commercial truck, a rideshare vehicle, or a hit-and-run, we investigate every detail to build the strongest possible case on your behalf.

Establishing Fault

by gathering police reports, witness statements, traffic camera footage, and accident reconstruction analysis to prove who caused the crash.

Navigating Insurance Claims

handling communications with PIP carriers, the at-fault driver's insurer, and uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage to maximize your recovery.

Documenting Injuries & Damages

working with medical professionals to connect your injuries directly to the accident and calculate the full cost of treatment, rehabilitation, and future care.

Rideshare & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

pursuing claims against Uber, Lyft, trucking companies, and delivery services where multiple insurance policies and corporate liability may apply.

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Florida?

Call 911 and seek medical attention, even if you feel fine — many serious injuries like whiplash, concussions, and internal bleeding do not show symptoms right away. Document the scene with photos and video, exchange insurance and contact information with the other driver, and avoid making statements about fault. Contact a personal injury lawyer before giving a recorded statement to any insurance company.
