1What to do after an Accident in St. Lucie County?
1. Immediately call for medical assistance if needed.

2How Long can I Wait to File a Personal Injury Claim?
In personal injury cases, there is a two-year statue of limitations to file a lawsuit following an accident. After this time period, claims can no longer be pursued.
If you are in an accident then you have to seek medical care within 14 days of the accident to be eligible for PIP coverage. If you fail to seek medical treatment within 14 days then you would have waived your ability to use your statutory PIP benefits. While it's advisable to file your claim as soon as possible, the typical deadline for submission is within 30 days after the accident.
3How Much Will my Personal Injury Claim Compensate me?
While we will always try to get you the best settlement possible, the amount you can earn in your personal injury claim varies based on several different factors.
- • The severity of your injuries and/or vehicle damages
- • Comparative Fault (how much of the accident you are determined to be at fault for)
- • Medical costs or lost wages resulting from the accident
