Car accidents can happen in seconds—but the consequences can last for months or even years. From physical injuries and emotional trauma to medical bills and lost income, a car accident can disrupt every part of your life.

At Dos Santos Law, we represent individuals who have been injured in car accidents caused by the negligence of others. Our goal is simple: protect your rights, handle the insurance companies, and fight for the full compensation you deserve—so you can focus on healing.

Common Causes of Car Accidents

Car accidents are often the result of careless or reckless behavior. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Distracted driving (texting, phone use, GPS)

  • Speeding

  • Drunk or impaired driving

  • Running red lights or stop signs

  • Following too closely

  • Unsafe lane changes

  • Failure to yield

  • Fatigued or drowsy driving

When another driver’s negligence causes an accident, you may have the right to pursue a personal injury claim.

Types of Car Accidents We Handle

Not all car accidents are the same. Our firm has experience handling a wide range of motor vehicle collision cases, including:

  • Rear-end collisions

  • Head-on collisions

  • T-bone (side-impact) accidents

  • Multi-vehicle accidents

  • Hit-and-run accidents

  • Drunk driving accidents

  • Rideshare accidents (Uber & Lyft)

  • Accidents involving uninsured or underinsured drivers

Each type of accident presents unique legal and insurance challenges. We know how to investigate the facts and build strong cases for our clients.

How Do You Know If You Have a Car Accident Case?

You may have a valid car accident claim if:

  • Another driver caused or contributed to the accident

  • You suffered physical injuries or required medical treatment

  • You missed work or lost income due to the accident

  • You incurred medical bills or out-of-pocket expenses

  • An insurance company is disputing or undervaluing your claim

Even if you are unsure who was at fault—or if the insurance company says you don’t have a case—it is important to speak with an attorney before accepting any settlement or giving a recorded statement.

What to Do After a Car Accident in Florida?

Taking the right steps after a car accident can protect both your health and your legal rights:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately

  2. Call the police and obtain a crash report

  3. Take photos and videos of the scene

  4. Exchange information with the other driver

  5. Avoid discussing fault or posting on social media

  6. Do not speak to insurance adjusters without legal advice

Common Injuries from Car Accidents

Even seemingly minor crashes can cause serious injuries. Some injuries may not appear immediately and can worsen over time.

Common car accident injuries include:

  • Whiplash and soft tissue injuries

  • Back and neck injuries

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Broken bones and fractures

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)

  • Concussions

  • Internal injuries

  • Spinal cord injuries

  • Cuts, bruises, and lacerations

  • Emotional distress and trauma

If you experience pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, or discomfort after an accident, seeking medical attention is critical—both for your health and your claim.

What Compensation May Be Available?

Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical expenses (past and future)

  • Lost wages

  • Loss of earning capacity

  • Pain and suffering

  • Emotional distress

  • Property damage

  • Permanent disability or disfigurement

Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. Our firm works to ensure all damages are fully evaluated and aggressively pursued.
