WHAT MATTERS FIRST
A personal injury claim turns on three questions: Who caused the harm? What evidence proves it? What has the injury cost you? Miller & Jacobs can investigate those questions, identify available insurance coverage, communicate with insurers, and explain whether negotiation or a lawsuit fits the facts.
01
Responsibility may rest with a driver, property owner, business, medical provider, manufacturer, or more than one party.
02
Reports, photographs, video, witness accounts, records, vehicle data, and expert analysis may help show what occurred.
03
Medical care, lost income, future needs, daily limitations, and other losses must be documented—not guessed at.
CASES WE HANDLE
Start with the case type closest to what happened. If none fits exactly, tell us about the incident. The legal category can be sorted out after we understand the facts.

TELL US WHAT HAPPENEDWHAT TO DO NOW
Get the care you need first. Preserve what you can. Then get advice before dealing with insurers or signing anything. Early choices can affect both your recovery and the evidence available later.
01
Do not ignore new or worsening symptoms. After many Florida motor-vehicle crashes, receiving initial care within 14 days can affect whether PIP medical benefits are available.
02
Call law enforcement after a roadway crash when appropriate, or report the event to the property owner, business, employer, marina, or care facility.
03
Keep photographs, video, reports, witness names, damaged property, receipts, appointment records, and important messages.
04
An early review can identify available insurance, preserve time-sensitive evidence, and help you avoid preventable mistakes. Miller & Jacobs offers free and confidential consultations.
REQUEST A FREE CONSULTATION →05
Give required facts truthfully, but do not guess. Do not sign a release or broad authorization you do not understand.
06
Save medical bills, pay records, out-of-pocket costs, and brief notes about missed work, daily limitations, and responsibilities the injury has changed. These records help your attorney document the losses.
HOW THE CLAIM IS BUILT
A claim is more than a demand letter. The useful work is finding the right evidence, identifying every relevant source of coverage, documenting the losses, and choosing a strategy that fits the facts.
Review reports, photographs, video, witness accounts, records, and other evidence bearing on responsibility.
Send appropriate notices and seek records or footage before routine deletion, repair, or loss makes them unavailable.
Examine auto, commercial, property, umbrella, or other policies that may apply to the incident.
Handle claim correspondence and requests while helping the client avoid preventable gaps or inconsistent information.
Organize medical care, income loss, future needs, out-of-pocket costs, and changes in daily life.
Prepare a supported demand and, when the facts call for it, file a lawsuit and present the case in court.
Not every claim needs a lawsuit. The right path depends on the proof, available coverage, the losses, and how the other side responds.
DOCUMENTED LOSSES
The available damages depend on the claim, the evidence, insurance coverage, and the injury’s short- and long-term effects. No calculator or first conversation can promise a case value.
FLORIDA AUTO CLAIMS
In many covered Florida auto claims, Personal Injury Protection applies without first deciding who caused the crash. PIP generally pays 80% of qualifying medical expenses and 60% of covered lost income. Initial medical care must generally begin within 14 days of the crash.
Medical and disability benefits can total up to $10,000 when the statutory requirements are met. Medical benefits may be limited to $2,500 when there is no qualifying emergency medical condition. Coverage depends on the policy, the treatment, and Florida law.
PIP does not necessarily end the analysis. Injuries and losses beyond available PIP benefits may support a claim against a responsible party. Motorcycle claims are treated differently, so the coverage should be reviewed rather than assumed.

READ RICK JACOBS'S BIO →COMMON QUESTIONS
These answers are general information. The facts, insurance policies, and deadlines in a specific matter may change the answer.
A claim may exist when another person or business failed to use reasonable care and that failure caused an injury and measurable losses. A useful evaluation also considers the available evidence, insurance coverage, possible defenses, and the applicable deadline.
The consultation is free. There is no attorney fee unless compensation is recovered for you. The written fee agreement explains the arrangement, costs, and responsibilities before representation begins.
Get medical attention, report the crash, photograph the vehicles and scene if it is safe, gather witness information, and keep insurance and treatment records. In many Florida auto claims, initial care must begin within 14 days for PIP medical benefits to apply.
Do not assume that ends every option. Covered PIP benefits generally apply without first deciding fault. For damages sought from another party, Florida law may reduce a negligence award by your percentage of fault and may bar recovery when a claimant is found more than 50% at fault, subject to statutory exceptions. Evidence—not an early accusation—determines the analysis.
READ FLORIDA’S COMPARATIVE-FAULT LAW →Use care. Your own policy may require reasonable cooperation, while an insurer for another party has different interests. Give required information truthfully, do not guess, and consider legal advice before a broad recorded statement or authorization. Do not sign a release you do not understand.
Florida law gives many negligence and wrongful-death actions a two-year limitations period, but different rules and exceptions can apply to medical malpractice, government entities, minors, delayed discovery, and other circumstances. Evidence can disappear well before a legal deadline, so the specific dates should be reviewed promptly.
READ FLORIDA’S LIMITATIONS STATUTE →There is no reliable one-size-fits-all timeline. Medical recovery, disputed responsibility, the number of parties, available coverage, the insurer’s response, and whether a lawsuit is necessary can all affect the length of a claim.
