How Soon After a Car Accident in West Palm Beach Should I Contact a Lawyer?

As soon as possible. Florida’s statute of limitations generally gives injured victims two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit, following the 2023 changes under HB 837. Acting promptly allows a lawyer to preserve critical evidence, such as surveillance footage, witness statements, and accident reconstruction data, before it is lost. Early legal involvement also helps prevent insurance companies from using recorded statements or quick settlement offers against your claim.
