As a driver and as an accident victim, you have rights. When someone else’s negligence causes you harm, we will fight to uphold your rights and demand justice.
| Right to safety on the road: Anyone who gets behind the wheel of a vehicle owes all others on the road a legal obligation to drive safely and follow all traffic laws. The car accident hot spots in Boca Raton show that many vehicle operators do not honor this obligation. |
| Right to hold negligent parties accountable: A negligent driver can leave you physically injured, emotionally traumatized, and financially depleted. You have the right to hold them accountable for paying you back for these devastating accident consequences. |
| Right to fight for the compensation you deserve: You deserve compensation that recoups your expenses and provides financial justice. You do not have to accept an insurance settlement that fails to make you whole. |
| Right to legal representation: You do not have to fight for justice alone. You have the right, and it is in your best interest, to partner with a Boca Raton car accident attorney from our firm. |
| Right to go to trial: Your case may resolve through settlement negotiations, but if negotiations do not produce satisfactory results, you have the right to take your claim to court. |

How a car accident lawyer in Boca Raton can help
Determining who is liable for a car accident is a priority for a successful injury claim. A car accident attorney knows how to carry out a full post-accident investigation to make the right determination. The culprit is not always the obvious choice.
For example, you may think a driver simply ran a red light and caused the crash. While that could be true, the accident analysis could show that the driver’s brakes failed. In that situation, you might file against the car manufacturer, not the driver. Had you filed incorrectly against the more obvious choice, you could not support your claim.
Your injury attorney will also take your claim through all phases of the legal process, from dealing with the insurance companies to filing a claim with the court, to a final resolution. Through each step of the process, we will provide steady support, insightful guidance, and consistent communication.
How Florida’s car accident requirements affect your claim
Florida operates under a no-fault auto insurance system, which means that even when another driver caused your crash, your initial claim is typically filed with your own insurer. Under this system, you’ll first pursue your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage, which by statute covers up to 80% of your medical expenses and lost wages.
However, the no-fault / PIP system does not limit your ability to sue the at-fault party under all circumstances. When certain criteria are met, you may step outside the no-fault system and file a “third-party” claim against the negligent driver (or other liable party). Under Florida Statute § 627.737, you may pursue such a claim when you meet the required “injury threshold.” Examples of qualifying injuries include a significant and permanent loss of a bodily function, permanent disfigurement or scarring, or death.
In these instances, your claim moves beyond your own insurer and into the traditional liability system, where you seek full compensation for losses beyond what PIP covers. A car accident lawyer in Boca Raton, FL, can help investigate whether your case meets the threshold, ensure all available coverages are tapped (including your insurance company and the at-fault party), and guide you through the liability claim process.
What potential compensation is available for a car accident?
You may be eligible to collect economic and non-economic damages. Medical expenses, lost wages, costs for property repair or replacement, and any other financial losses incurred by the accident comprise economic damages. If your injuries are permanent, requiring ongoing care and keeping you from working again, your attorney will factor in those future costs and losses.
You should see a doctor after a car accident to protect your well-being and that of your claim. The severity of an injury is not always immediately apparent. You need professional care to avoid further damage. Prompt diagnosis, treatment, and injury documentation support your claim and prevent the other side from blaming your injuries on your delay in seeking care.
Your physical and emotional pain and suffering and diminished enjoyment are non-economic damages. An experienced car accident lawyer in Boca Raton, FL, can assess these consequences and put a fair dollar value on them.

Frequently asked questions about Boca Raton car accidents
Start with these FAQs. If your question isn’t covered, call us.
When should I hire a Boca Raton personal injury attorney?
As soon as possible. First, evidence collection is much more productive the closer we are to the crash. Evidence gets lost as time passes. Witnesses’ memories become less reliable. Second, Florida Statute 95.11 sets two years as the deadline for filing most car accident claims. A fast connection ensures timely filing.
What if I am partly to blame for a Boca Raton car accident?
You may still be entitled to damages. Along with meeting the injury threshold, you have to be less than 51% to blame for the accident to file a third-party claim per Chapter 768 of the Florida statutes. If you hold a smaller percentage of fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally. Our team will fight to protect you from unfair assignments of fault that could cost you the opportunity to seek damages or receive true financial justice.
How much will I collect in compensation?
Compensation amounts vary by case. The severity of your injuries, the sum of your lost wages and other expenses, the extent of your pain and suffering, and your degree of fault all affect your compensation. You can trust the experienced car accident lawyer Boca Raton residents turn to for dedicated representation to pursue the highest compensation possible.
What if the other driver had no insurance?
Florida law requires drivers to carry certain minimum insurance coverages, but many still fail to do so. If the other driver who caused your crash is uninsured or underinsured, you may still recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage. A Boca Raton car accident attorney will review your policy and explore all available sources of compensation, including potential third-party liability. Even when coverage seems limited, an experienced attorney can often identify additional options to protect your financial recovery.
How long will my car accident claim take?
The timeline depends on factors such as the complexity of your case, your medical treatment, and the insurance company’s willingness to negotiate fairly. Simple claims can be resolved in a few months, while serious-injury cases or those requiring trial may take a year or longer. Throughout the process, your attorney will keep you informed, handle communications with the insurance company, and ensure deadlines are met. At Lytal, Reiter, Smith, Ivey & Fronrath, we move each case forward efficiently while protecting your right to the full compensation you deserve.
