Question 1

How much does it cost to hire Cole Scott & Kissane for a Florida car accident case?

Accepted Answer

Cole Scott & Kissane handles Florida car accident cases on a contingency-fee basis. You pay nothing upfront and owe no attorney fees unless Cole Scott & Kissane recovers compensation for you. Initial consultations are free.

Question 2

What is Florida's statute of limitations for car accident claims?

Accepted Answer

Under Florida law (Fla. Stat. §95.11), you generally have two years from the date of a car accident to file a personal-injury lawsuit. Waiting can jeopardize your claim, so contact Cole Scott & Kissane promptly to preserve evidence and meet PIP 14-day deadlines.

Question 3

Does Florida's no-fault PIP insurance cover my Miami accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Florida requires every driver to carry $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP). PIP pays 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages regardless of fault, but you must seek treatment within 14 days. Cole Scott & Kissane can help coordinate PIP benefits and pursue the at-fault driver for damages PIP does not cover.

Question 4

What if I was partially at fault for the Miami crash?

Accepted Answer

Florida follows a modified comparative-negligence rule (Fla. Stat. §768.81). If you are 50% or less at fault, you can still recover compensation, reduced by your share of fault. Cole Scott & Kissane routinely defends clients against inflated fault arguments from insurance carriers.

Question 5

How long will my Florida car accident case take to settle?

Accepted Answer

Most Florida car accident cases settle within 6 to 18 months, depending on injury severity, treatment timeline, and insurance cooperation. Cole Scott & Kissane works to maximize your settlement while moving your case forward as quickly as medical recovery allows.
