What if the car accident was partially my fault?

Under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule (2023), you can still recover damages as long as you are 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your fault percentage. For example, at 25% fault with $200,000 in damages, you recover $150,000. Being partially at fault does not end your case - it changes the math, not your right to pursue it.

How long will my car accident case take to resolve?

Cases with clear liability and defined injuries can settle in 6 to 12 months. Complex cases involving disputed fault, severe injuries, or defendants who refuse to negotiate fairly can take 2 to 3 years or more. We pursue every case aggressively but will not pressure you into a settlement that undervalues your claim.

I was a passenger in an Uber or Lyft. Who pays for my injuries?

If you were a passenger when the crash occurred, Uber and Lyft's commercial liability policy of up to $1 million applies. You may have simultaneous claims against the rideshare driver, the other driver, and both insurance carriers.

What We Handle

Common Types of Auto Accidents

At The Duncan Injury Group, we understand the devastating impact that auto accidents can have on individuals and their families. From minor injuries to life-altering disabilities, the aftermath of an auto accident can be overwhelming, and our team of dedicated attorneys is committed to fighting tirelessly to ensure you receive the justice and compensation you deserve.

With extensive experience across rear-end collisions, T-bone crashes, multi-vehicle pile-ups, and more, we navigate the complexities of personal injury law and advocate effectively, whether negotiating with insurers or litigating in court. If you've been injured in an auto accident, trust DIG Law to provide compassionate support and tenacious representation every step of the way.

Rear-End Collisions ▾

The most common crash type. Often caused by tailgating or distracted driving - liability is usually clear, but insurers still lowball whiplash and soft-tissue claims.

T-Bone Collisions ▾

Side-impact crashes at intersections frequently cause severe injury because there's little structure between the occupant and the point of impact.

Head-On Collisions ▾

Among the most catastrophic crash types. We move fast to preserve evidence and pursue every liable party, including commercial insurers where applicable.

Side-Impact Collisions ▾

Often occurring at intersections or during lane changes - these cases frequently involve disputed fault that requires careful reconstruction.

Dram Shop / Negligent Alcohol Service ▾

When a bar or establishment over-serves a visibly intoxicated patron who then causes a crash, the establishment may share liability for your damages.

Wrongful Death Accidents ▾

We represent grieving families pursuing compensation for funeral costs, lost income, and the immeasurable loss of a loved one - with compassion and zero pressure.

Hit-and-Run Accidents ▾

Even if the at-fault driver flees, your own uninsured motorist coverage often steps in. We investigate and pursue every available avenue of recovery.

Rollover Accidents ▾

Often linked to SUVs, vans, or tire/vehicle defects - these cases may involve a product-liability claim against a manufacturer in addition to the driver.

Multi-Vehicle Accidents ▾

Pile-ups involve layered liability and multiple insurance carriers. We untangle who's responsible so your claim doesn't get lost in the dispute.

DUI Accidents ▾

Driving under the influence often supports punitive damages on top of standard compensation. We build the criminal record into your civil claim.

Texting & Distracted Driving ▾

Phone records and app data can prove distraction at the moment of impact. We subpoena this evidence before it disappears.

Frequently Asked

Car Accident FAQ

The questions Florida, Texas, and Arizona car accident victims ask us most - answered plainly. If yours isn't here, call us. It's always free.

Do I need a lawyer if the other driver has insurance?

Having insurance doesn't mean a fair payout - it means the insurer has professional negotiators working to minimize what they pay you. Represented claimants consistently recover significantly more than unrepresented ones, even after attorney fees. Our consultation is free, so there's no cost to finding out what your case is worth.

What if the accident was partially my fault?

Under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule (2023), you can still recover as long as you're 50% or less at fault. Your award is reduced by your fault percentage - at 25% fault with $200,000 in damages, you recover $150,000. Being partially at fault doesn't end your case; it changes the math, not your right to pursue it.

How long will my case take to resolve?

Cases with clear liability and defined injuries can settle in 6 to 12 months. Complex cases - disputed fault, severe injuries, defendants who refuse to negotiate fairly - can take 2 to 3 years or more. We pursue every case aggressively but won't pressure you into a settlement that undervalues your claim.

What if the other driver was uninsured or underinsured?

Your own Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is your primary recourse. We review your policy and pursue every available avenue of recovery. Roughly 20% of Florida drivers are uninsured at any given time - robust UM coverage is the most important protection you can carry.

Florida is a no-fault state - does that mean I can't sue?

Not necessarily. Florida's no-fault system routes your initial medical bills and lost wages through your own PIP coverage regardless of fault. But once your injuries meet Florida's serious injury threshold, you can step outside no-fault and bring a full claim against the at-fault driver. Most real injuries qualify.

I was a passenger in a rideshare (Uber/Lyft). Who pays?

If you were a passenger when the crash occurred, Uber and Lyft's commercial liability policy - up to $1 million - applies. You may have simultaneous claims against the rideshare driver, the other driver, and both insurance carriers.

What if a commercial truck hit me?

Trucking cases are higher-stakes than standard car accidents. Commercial carriers must maintain federal minimum insurance from $750,000 to $5 million. Driver logbooks, black box data, and maintenance files are critical evidence that must be preserved immediately.

My injuries didn't appear until the next day. Is it too late?

No - delayed onset is extremely common, especially for whiplash, herniated discs, and concussions. Adrenaline masks pain right after a crash. Seek medical care promptly once symptoms appear and document the connection to the accident.

Should I accept the insurance company's settlement offer?

Almost never accept a first offer without consulting an attorney. First offers are calculated to close your claim before your total damages are documented. Once you sign a release, that claim is gone forever. Call us before you sign anything - it's free.

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Florida?

For accidents on or after March 24, 2023, Florida's statute of limitations for negligence claims is two years from the date of your crash. Missing this deadline permanently ends your right to sue, regardless of how strong your case is.

The defense says my injuries are pre-existing. How do we fight that?

This is one of the most common defense tactics. The key legal principle is the "eggshell plaintiff" doctrine - a defendant takes the victim as they find them. Even with a prior condition, the at-fault party is still liable for any aggravation the crash caused.

My accident was several months ago. Can I still file?

Likely yes - Florida's two-year statute means you almost certainly have time within the past year or two. But the case you can build weakens every week you wait. Call us today and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.

What does "no fee unless we win" actually mean?

Exactly what it says. We advance all case costs - investigation, experts, filing fees - and charge our fee only as a percentage of your recovery. If we don't win for you, you owe us nothing.

Does DIG Law handle car accident cases in Texas and Arizona too?

Yes. We're licensed and actively practicing in Florida, Texas, and Arizona. Texas and Arizona also carry two-year statutes of limitations for most personal injury claims. Call the office closest to you and we'll handle the rest.
