What Happens After a Car Accident?
Here’s how Legal 20/20 helps — step by step.
Step 1: Get Medical Care
Your health is the top priority. Even if your injuries seem minor, seek medical attention right away — it helps your recovery and documents your case.
🕒 Important: Florida requires you to seek treatment within 14 days of the accident to qualify for personal injury protection (PIP) benefits.
Step 2: Contact Legal 20/20
Once you’re safe, contact our team. The sooner we get involved, the better we can protect your rights and evidence.
We offer a free consultation to explain your options, answer questions, and start building your case.
Step 3: Case Evaluation & Investigation
We’ll review your accident details, gather police reports, photos, witness statements, and medical records. This helps us determine who’s responsible — and how much your case may be worth.
Step 4: Connect You With Doctors
If needed, we can refer you to trusted doctors and specialists who understand accident-related injuries and will treat you with care.
Step 5: Handle Insurance Companies
We deal with the insurance adjusters, so you don’t have to. Our attorneys fight to get you a fair settlement — and push back if the insurer tries to lowball you.
🚨 Caution: Never give a recorded statement or accept a settlement without speaking to a lawyer first.
Step 6: Negotiate or File a Lawsuit
Most cases settle — but if the insurance company won’t play fair, we’re ready to take your case to court.
📅 Deadline Alert: In Florida, you generally have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (as of the 2023 tort reform law). If you miss it, you may lose your right to compensation.
Step 7: You Get Paid
Once your case resolves, you receive your settlement — and with Legal 20/20’s low 20% fee*, you keep more of it. Most law firms charge at least 33.3%!
