🚗Car Accident Clock FL14 days. 2 years. Don't sign that.
Florida

In Florida, the crash starts two clocks. One is 14 days long.

Miss a doctor within 14 days and your own PIP coverage can vanish. Wait past two years and the case is gone. Sign the other insurer's release and it's over. Describe the crash. You get every date computed from the day it happened, what your own policy must pay, what to say and not say, and the claim letter — free, in English or Spanish.

Free clock

What happened, and when.

The date, who hit whom, injuries (even 'just sore'), whether police came, whether you've seen a doctor, and whether any insurer has called.

Free. Takes a few seconds.

Why this exists

Florida's no-fault rules are strict and the other insurer knows them better than you.

PIP pays your first medical bills — but only if you see a doctor within 14 days. The quick $800 release ends everything. The 2-year limit is new and shorter than it used to be. Knowing the clocks is the whole game.

How it works

Compute the clocks. Protect the claim. Then decide about a lawyer.

01

Describe the crash

Date, what happened, injuries, police, doctor, insurers who've called.

02

See the dates and the rules

14-day PIP date and 2-year limit computed, what PIP pays (80% medical / 60% wages up to $10,000), the deductible, collision vs. the other driver's property damage, comparative fault.

03

Protect the claim

What not to sign or say, how to notify your own insurer, the police-report request, the records to keep — and a letter to your carrier opening the PIP and collision claims.

Plans

The clock is free. The claim packet is $9 — the release they want you to sign is worth thousands.

For one driver. Chiropractors, body shops and credit unions license it for their customers.

Common questions

Is this tool really free, and is what I paste stored anywhere?

Yes, the material describes Car Accident Clock FL as free and available in English and Spanish. It doesn't say anything about storing or retaining what you type, so if that's a concern, avoid including more personal detail than you need to when you describe your crash.

Do I really lose my own insurance benefits if I don't see a doctor within 14 days?

Under Florida's PIP rule (§627.736), the tool explains that you generally need to get medical care within 14 days of the crash or risk losing PIP benefits. This is general information, not legal advice, so confirm your specific situation with a professional or your insurer.

How much time do I have before it's too late to file a claim or lawsuit?

The tool applies Florida's statute of limitations, currently 2 years under HB 837, counted from your crash date. It also notes that deadlines can have exceptions and depend on facts the tool cannot verify, so this is not a substitute for legal advice.

The other driver's insurance company called — should I sign anything or give a statement?

The material is direct on this: do not sign a release or give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurer before getting advice. It also notes that personal-injury consultations in Florida are typically free and contingency-based, so there's usually no cost to check first if you have injuries beyond soreness.

What exactly does this tool do — and what can't it do?

It computes your Florida deadlines from your crash date, explains what PIP does and doesn't cover, the comparative-fault rule, what not to say or sign, and it can draft a claim letter to your own carrier. It is not legal advice, cannot file claims or lawsuits, and cannot assess fault or value your case — and it isn't affiliated with any insurer, clinic, law firm, or agency.
