Under Florida law, injured tourists have the same legal rights as residents when it comes to filing injury claims. However, understanding how to navigate Florida’s legal system from another state—or even another country—can be overwhelming.
Here’s what you need to know:
Jurisdiction: Most claims are filed in St. Johns County, where the accident occurred.
Statute of Limitations: You generally have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit.
Comparative Fault: Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system, which could reduce your compensation if you’re partially at fault.
Remote Representation: We can handle most of your case without requiring you to return to Florida.
We work closely with your medical providers, local police, and insurance companies to build your case while minimizing your travel burden.
If you or your loved one is injured while visiting St. Augustine Beach:
Get medical attention immediately at Flagler Hospital or a nearby urgent care.
Report the incident to the hotel, property manager, or authorities.
Document everything: Take photos, gather witness names, and save receipts.
Avoid giving statements or signing anything from insurers until you speak with a lawyer.
