Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle
Car accidents in Jacksonville can vary widely depending on road conditions, driver behavior, and vehicle types involved. Here’s a breakdown:
Rear-End Collisions
These are often the result of tailgating or distracted driving. Victims may suffer from soft tissue injuries like whiplash, as well as back and shoulder pain that can linger for months or years.
T-Bone and Side-Impact Crashes
Frequently occurring at intersections like Beach Blvd. and Southside Blvd., these accidents can crush doors inward, causing broken bones, organ damage, and traumatic brain injuries (TBI).
Head-On Collisions
Among the most dangerous types of crashes, head-on collisions often occur on two-lane roads and can result in permanent disabilities or fatalities.
Drunk Driving Accidents
Impaired driving is a major issue in Florida. If a drunk driver caused your crash, you may be entitled to punitive damages, which go beyond compensation to punish reckless behavior.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber & Lyft)
With the rise of gig economy transportation, rideshare accidents often involve complex multi-party insurance issues. We handle these claims regularly.
Multi-Vehicle Pileups
Seen on highways like I-295 or I-95 during rush hour, pileups involve multiple drivers and insurers. Fault can be challenging to assign, but our investigative approach uncovers the truth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Even in a seemingly minor accident, injuries like whiplash or soft tissue damage can appear days later. Our Jacksonville car accident attorneys offer a free case review to determine whether your injuries or property damage warrant legal action—especially if the other driver’s insurance is denying liability or offering a lowball settlement.
Settlement amounts vary based on injury severity, liability, and insurance coverage. In Jacksonville, typical payouts for non-serious injury claims range from $10,000 to $25,000, while severe injury cases often exceed $100,000. At Jimenez Law Firm, we fight to ensure you recover the maximum compensation under Florida law.
Florida recently changed the statute of limitations for personal injury claims. As of 2023, you have two years from the date of your Jacksonville accident to file a lawsuit. Waiting too long can jeopardize your ability to recover compensation.
Most cases settle out of court through negotiation, but if the insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement, your case may proceed to litigation. Our attorneys are experienced in trial preparation and appear regularly in Duval County civil court.
Call 911, seek medical attention, and document the scene. Then, contact our team. Distracted driving is a leading cause of crashes in Jacksonville—especially in busy areas like Southside Blvd and I-295. We’ll help hold the negligent driver accountable.
Yes. Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system, which means you can still recover compensation if you’re found less than 51% at fault. We’ll build a strong case to minimize your percentage of liability and maximize your award.
