    Injured in Ferry Pass, FL? We Can Help.

    One minute you are on your way to work just like any other day, and in the fraction of a second, you are suffering from a serious injury, dealing with a wrecked car, a stack of medical bills, and a claims adjuster who is not on your side.

    Ferry Pass is one of the busiest unincorporated communities in Escambia County, and daily traffic along Davis Highway and the surrounding corridors means accidents happen often. Whether you were hurt in a car accident, a fall, or another type of incident, what happens in the days right after a serious injury matters for a successful outcome of your case.

    Our experienced Ferry Pass personal injury lawyers at Michles & Booth can help you push back against the shady insurance company tactics. The firm represents people hurt by someone else's negligence and has never taken a case for an insurance company.

    FAQ About Personal Injury Claims in Ferry Pass, Florida

    • How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida?

      Florida law gives injury victims two years from the date of an accident to file a personal injury lawsuit, a deadline shortened from four years in 2023. If you miss this window, you generally lose the right to recover compensation in court.

    • What if I was partially at fault for my accident?

      Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. You can still recover damages if you are found less than 51 percent at fault, though your award is reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurance adjusters sometimes overstate a victim's share of blame to lower a payout, which is one reason to have an attorney review your case first.

    • What types of compensation can I recover after an accident?

      Florida law allows injury victims to pursue economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages, along with non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering. The damages available in your case depend on its specific facts and the type of claim you file.

    • What should I do after an accident in Ferry Pass?

      Seek medical care right away, even if your injuries seem minor, since some symptoms surface later. Report the incident to the police or property owner, and photograph the scene if you are able. Avoid giving a recorded statement to an insurance adjuster before you speak with an attorney.
