Brevard County Traffic Accident Lawyers
Big Results. Little Stress.
Being involved in a traffic accident can turn your life upside down in an instant. Whether you were driving through the busy I-95 corridor, navigating US-1's heavy tourist traffic, or caught in one of Brevard County's sudden afternoon thunderstorms, a collision can leave you dealing with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and insurance companies that seem more interested in protecting their profits than your wellbeing. At Douglas R. Beam P.A., we understand the unique challenges facing traffic accident victims in our Space Coast community, and we're here to fight for the compensation you deserve.
Time is critical in traffic accident cases. Florida's statute of limitations for personal injury cases is just two years, meaning you have a limited window to protect your legal rights. Don't let insurance companies pressure you into accepting inadequate settlements while you're still recovering from your injuries. Our experienced Brevard County car accident attorneys have been serving accident victims since 1988, and we know how to navigate the complex legal landscape that follows a serious collision.

Our comprehensive approach to traffic accident cases goes far beyond simply filing a claim. We coordinate with medical providers to ensure you receive proper treatment, negotiate aggressively with insurance companies, and prepare every case for trial if necessary. We understand Florida's no-fault insurance system and how it impacts your ability to recover compensation, and we know how to overcome the obstacles that insurance companies place in the path of accident victims seeking fair compensation.
Understanding Your Traffic Accident Case
Every traffic accident case is unique, but certain elements remain constant. Evidence preservation is crucial in the hours and days following your collision. This includes photographs of the scene, witness statements, police reports, and medical documentation. Our legal team works quickly to secure this evidence before it disappears or becomes compromised. We also investigate all potentially liable parties, which may include not just the other driver, but their employer, vehicle manufacturers, or even government entities responsible for road maintenance.
The damages you may be entitled to recover include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and compensation for pain and suffering. Florida's comparative negligence rules mean that even if you bear some responsibility for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. When accidents involve commercial vehicles, our truck accident legal representation team brings specialized knowledge of federal regulations and corporate liability that can significantly impact your case's value.
Whether you were injured in a passenger vehicle collision or need specialized support from our motorcycle accident attorneys, we have the experience to protect your rights. From minor fender-benders on A1A to catastrophic multi-vehicle accidents on SR-528, we've handled thousands of traffic accident cases and understand the full spectrum of challenges that accident victims face in Brevard County.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about traffic accident cases in Brevard County
What should I do after a traffic accident?
Your immediate priority after a traffic accident should be safety and medical attention. Move to a safe location if possible, call 911 to report the accident, and seek medical evaluation even if you don't feel seriously injured. Some injuries, like whiplash or concussions, may not manifest symptoms immediately but can have long-term consequences if left untreated.
Document the scene by taking photographs of vehicle damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries. Collect contact information from all parties involved and any witnesses. Be polite but avoid admitting fault or making statements about what happened. Contact our office before speaking with insurance companies, as their representatives may try to get you to make statements that could hurt your case later.
What types of damages can I receive compensation for in a traffic accident case?
Florida's no-fault insurance system requires your own insurance to cover initial medical expenses and lost wages through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. However, when your injuries are serious, you may be able to pursue additional compensation from the at-fault driver for damages that exceed your PIP limits.
Recoverable damages typically include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. In severe cases, you may also be entitled to compensation for permanent disability, loss of earning capacity, and loss of enjoyment of life. Our attorneys work with medical experts and economic specialists to ensure all current and future damages are properly calculated and included in your claim.
What causes traffic accidents?
Traffic accidents in Brevard County result from various factors, with driver negligence being the most common cause. This includes distracted driving, speeding, following too closely, and failure to yield right-of-way. Impaired driving from alcohol or drugs continues to be a significant factor in serious accidents, particularly during evening hours and weekends.
Weather conditions unique to our area, such as sudden afternoon thunderstorms and morning fog, can create hazardous driving conditions. Tourist unfamiliarity with local roads contributes to accidents, especially along coastal routes. Construction zones, particularly along I-95 and major arterials, create additional hazards. Vehicle defects and poor road maintenance can also contribute to accidents, potentially creating liability for manufacturers or government entities.

This arrangement allows accident victims to pursue justice regardless of their financial situation.
