Accident help in Daytona Beach, FL

Daytona Beach sits where I-95 and I-4 meet the coast in Volusia County, drawing heavy event, race, and beach traffic throughout the year. If you were injured, Florida's no-fault system means your own PIP coverage usually responds first, though serious crashes often exceed it. FaultFreeClaims can connect you with an independent, licensed attorney familiar with the Seventh Judicial Circuit.

Accidents in and around Daytona Beach

You can drive on the beach in Volusia County, in the marked sections, which means a crash report here can describe sand instead of pavement. Off the sand, International Speedway Boulevard runs west from the ocean to I-95 and the end of I-4, and Atlantic Avenue carries the beachside traffic north and south past hotels, bikes, and people crossing to the water. Event weekends multiply all of it. Your $10,000 PIP pays medical bills first, and a suit goes to Volusia County, in the Seventh Judicial Circuit. Two years to file, and that's after HB 837 shortened it.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in Daytona Beach?

Daytona Beach Police work crashes inside the city, and the Volusia County Sheriff's Office covers the county. Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-95 and I-4. Crashes on the driving beach may involve Volusia County Beach Safety as well. Whichever agency responded, the report is filed with FLHSMV and can be requested from the state crash portal or the agency itself.

Which court would handle a Daytona Beach injury case?

Volusia County, in the Seventh Judicial Circuit, which also covers Flagler, Putnam, and St. Johns counties. Volusia runs courthouses in more than one city, so ask the clerk where a Daytona Beach case gets filed. County court handles the smaller civil claims and circuit court the larger ones. We are not a law firm, and which one fits yours is an attorney's answer.

I was hit on the beach itself. Is that still a traffic crash?

It can be. The beach driving areas are open to vehicles, and a collision there is still reported, though the paperwork may look different from a road crash. Get the report number from whoever responded. Your own PIP may still apply, and that's worth asking about rather than assuming. Have an attorney read the report before you answer an adjuster.

How long do I have to file an injury claim in Florida?

In Florida, the deadline is generally 2 years from the date of the accident. Reduced from 4 to 2 years by HB 837 (2023). Wrongful death 2 years. Medical 2 years. Deadlines are strict — the sooner you act, the more options you have.
