Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about Motor Vehicle Accident cases in Volusia County
What do motor vehicle accident lawyers do?
Motor vehicle accident lawyers provide comprehensive legal representation for individuals injured in car, truck, motorcycle, and other vehicle accidents. We handle all aspects of your case, including investigating the accident scene, gathering evidence, negotiating with insurance companies, and pursuing litigation when necessary. Our role is to serve as your advocate while you focus on recovery, ensuring that insurance companies don't take advantage of your situation.
At Douglas R. Beam P.A., we also coordinate with medical professionals, accident reconstruction experts, and other specialists to build the strongest possible case for your compensation. We understand the tactics insurance companies use to minimize payouts and are prepared to counter them with aggressive legal representation backed by decades of experience.
What types of damages can I receive compensation for in a motor vehicle accident case?
Florida law allows motor vehicle accident victims to seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and future medical care costs. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and permanent disability or disfigurement.
Under Florida's comparative negligence laws, your compensation may be reduced if you're found partially at fault for the accident. However, even if you bear some responsibility, you can still recover damages proportional to the other party's fault. Our personal injury lawyers will work to minimize any fault attributed to you while maximizing your overall compensation.
What is the statute of limitations for motor vehicle accidents?
In Florida, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases resulting from motor vehicle accidents is two years from the date of the accident. This means you must file your lawsuit within two years, or you may lose your right to seek compensation forever. This deadline is strictly enforced by Florida courts, with very few exceptions.
It's crucial to contact an experienced motor vehicle accident attorney as soon as possible after your accident. Early legal intervention allows us to preserve evidence, interview witnesses while memories are fresh, and begin building your case immediately. Don't wait until the deadline approaches – your case will be stronger with prompt legal action.

We advance all case expenses, including expert witness fees, court costs, and investigation expenses.
If we don't recover compensation for you, you don't pay attorney fees.
