I am still trying to get care.
We can explain how medical timing relates to the claim, help you understand the insurance process, and separate legal deadlines from the care decisions you make with providers.

Serving JupiterLocal help backed by an established South Florida firm.
Start where you are
There is a path forward, even if everything feels unsettled.
Some people call from home after the first appointment. Others call weeks later when pain, transportation, or insurance problems are getting worse. Wherever you are in the process, we can identify the immediate decision and explain how to move forward.
Start with three facts: where the crash happened, what has changed physically or financially, and who has contacted you. We can help organize the rest.
The insurance company keeps calling.
We identify who is calling, what policy is involved, and what information may actually be required before anyone pressures you into a broad statement or release.
I cannot get back to normal.
We look beyond a repair estimate to the work, transportation, caregiving, pain, and daily-function losses that need to be shown with reliable evidence.
Jupiter road and evidence map
The route helps reveal what evidence may still exist.
Jupiter collisions can involve commuters, visitors, cyclists, commercial traffic, and drivers moving between local roads and interstate routes. We match the investigation to the location and the kind of traffic involved.
Indiantown Road
Congestion, signalized intersections, shopping access, highway approaches, and changing lane movements can make timing, video, and vehicle position critical.
U.S. 1
North-south travel, bridge and waterfront-area traffic, business access, pedestrians, and cyclists may broaden the evidence beyond the police report.
Alternate A1A / Central Boulevard
Local intersections, schools, neighborhoods, and commercial entrances can raise visibility, turning, and right-of-way questions.
I-95 / Florida’s Turnpike
Faster impacts and out-of-area drivers can add electronic vehicle data, state agencies, rental vehicles, employers, and layered insurance coverage.
Local planning context: Town of Jupiter Traffic Watch. A public road program does not establish fault in an individual collision; the specific evidence does.
A claim built around your life
We take the pressure off you and put the proof together.
Fault, coverage, medical care, work loss, and daily consequences must support one another. Katz coordinates those moving parts and makes the insurer address the complete story.
01
Find the immediate decision
We begin with what is happening now—care, transportation, a damaged vehicle, a call from an adjuster, or uncertainty about fault—and explain the next move in plain language.
02
Preserve proof before it moves
We trace reports, nearby video, witnesses, vehicles, electronic data, roadway conditions, and other evidence to the people or organizations that hold it.
03
Map the available coverage
We review liability, PIP, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, household policies, employers, owners, rental arrangements, and other possible sources.
04
Show the full human loss
We connect the medical record to missed work, transportation, help at home, future needs, pain, and the ordinary parts of life the injury made harder.
A clear answer starts here
Let us tell you what happens next.
You do not need a perfect file or the right legal words. Tell us what happened and what the crash has changed. We will explain the immediate choices and how we can help carry the claim from here.
Florida timing and fault14 days 2 years >50%
Three rules can matter before the insurer explains them.
These rules do not decide every claim, and exceptions may apply. They explain why appropriate medical attention, early evidence work, and a claim-specific review can matter.
Initial care can affect PIP medical benefits.
Florida’s PIP statute generally ties medical benefits to receiving initial services and care within 14 days after the crash. PIP does not automatically cover every loss.
General negligence period
Florida generally provides two years for an action founded on negligence. Different parties or claims can change the deadline.
Modified comparative fault
A party found more than 50 percent at fault generally cannot recover in covered negligence actions.
The correct deadline and coverage path depend on the crash date, parties, policies, injury, notice rules, and other facts. This is general information, not advice about a specific claim.
Collisions and coverage problems
A crash label never tells the whole story.
“Rear-end,” “intersection,” or “hit-and-run” describes only part of the event. The claim also depends on responsibility, policy language, injury evidence, and what the collision will cost over time.
Intersection, turning, and chain-reaction crashes
Signal phases, lane position, sight lines, speed, impact sequence, video, and witness accounts can turn a disputed crash into a coherent explanation.

The investigation must identify the driver when possible while reviewing your own coverage and every other available policy.
Uber and Lyft crashes
Coverage can change with the driver’s app status and role in the collision.
Rideshare claimsDrunk-driving collisions
The civil injury claim is separate from the criminal case and may involve additional evidence and responsible parties.

An employer, owner, contractor, maintenance company, or commercial insurer may share responsibility.
Commercial vehicle claimsWhat the collision actually cost
The insurer sees categories. You are living the consequences.
A claim is not only a repair bill or a stack of medical charges. It may involve the work you missed, help you now need, plans you lost, movement you no longer have, and uncertainty about the future.
We connect those consequences to reliable evidence and available coverage without a made-up online calculator or a promise no lawyer can responsibly make.
Health and medical careEmergency care, follow-up treatment, symptoms, limitations, and future needs supported by the record.
Work and incomeMissed time, reduced hours, lost opportunities, and limits on the work you can perform.
Transportation and homeVehicle loss, replacement transportation, household help, caregiving, and changed routines.
Pain and daily functionSleep, movement, recreation, relationships, and the ordinary tasks the injury made harder.

What people ask after a Jupiter crash
Clear answers before the next decision changes the claim
These questions often matter before a statement, release, repair choice, or settlement fixes the insurance company’s version of what happened.
How do I get a Jupiter crash report?
Start with the agency that investigated. Jupiter Police may hold a town report, while the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office or Florida Highway Patrol may be responsible for another location. FLHSMV provides statewide crash-report guidance.
Should I give the other driver’s insurer a recorded statement?
Do not assume a broad recorded statement is harmless just because an adjuster requests it. The answer depends on who is calling, which policy applies, and what information is actually required. We can identify the caller’s role and help protect you from guessing about fault or injuries.
What if I did not go to the emergency room?
Emergency-room care is not the only possible starting point. Seek appropriate medical care based on your condition. Florida PIP law generally ties medical benefits to receiving initial services and care within 14 days after the crash, which is separate from deciding what treatment is medically necessary.
Who pays medical bills while the injury claim is pending?
PIP may pay qualifying benefits first. Health insurance, medical-payment coverage, liens, and the liability claim can also affect how bills are handled. The correct path depends on the policies, providers, injuries, and facts of the collision.
What if the insurance company says I caused part of the crash?
An adjuster’s percentage is not the final word. Florida’s modified comparative fault law can reduce damages based on assigned fault and generally bars recovery when a party is found more than 50 percent at fault in covered negligence actions. The evidence should be reviewed before accepting that conclusion.
What if the other driver left or had too little insurance?
Report a hit-and-run promptly and review every available policy. Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, household policies, an employer, a vehicle owner, or another responsible party may affect the options. The wording of each policy matters.
How long do I have to bring a Florida car accident claim?
Florida generally provides two years for an action founded on negligence, but the correct deadline can change with the crash date, parties, claim type, notice requirements, and other facts. Video, vehicle data, and witness memories can disappear long before a filing deadline.
