Florida Automobile Accident Attorneys – Stone & Capobianco
At Stone & Capobianco, our experienced Florida automobile accident attorneys are dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals injured due to the negligence or reckless behavior of others. Whether your case involves a car crash, truck accident, motorcycle collision, or pedestrian accident, our legal team is committed to providing the high-quality representation you deserve and securing the maximum compensation available under Florida law.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, there were more than 227,000 reported traffic accidents in Florida in 2011 alone, with over 2,400 fatalities and 181,000 injuries. Sadly, many of these victims either died or suffered painful, life-changing injuries caused by distracted, impaired, or careless drivers. Even at relatively low speeds, a car accident can cause serious consequences, including whiplash, spinal cord damage, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), broken bones, or wrongful death.
Why You Need an Experienced Car Accident Attorney
The aftermath of an automobile accident can be overwhelming. Victims are often left facing medical bills, lost wages, long-term rehabilitation, and emotional trauma. Florida’s strict Personal Injury Protection (PIP) law makes it even more urgent to act quickly—injured drivers now have only 14 days to see a doctor in order to claim PIP benefits under their insurance coverage. Failing to act within this timeframe could limit your ability to recover compensation.
Hiring a skilled personal injury and wrongful death attorney is essential to protect your rights and pursue the damages you deserve. Our attorneys will thoroughly investigate your accident, gather critical evidence, and handle negotiations with insurance companies to prevent lowball settlements.
Common Causes of Automobile Accidents in Florida
Based on our experience, the most common causes of auto accidents that result in negligence claims include:
-
Distracted Driving (texting, eating, adjusting controls)

Mechanical Defects or unsafe vehicle maintenance
