Accidents in and around West Palm Beach

The adjuster's first call usually comes before the first follow-up appointment. In West Palm Beach that call can come from anywhere, because the crash that hurt you might have involved a commuter on I-95, a seasonal resident heading over one of the bridges to the island, or a work truck on Okeechobee Boulevard running out to the Turnpike, and each of those drivers is insured by a different company. That matters. Your own $10,000 PIP pays medical bills first. Palm Beach County is the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. If your deadline has passed, we'll tell you instead of taking your information.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get a crash report in West Palm Beach?

West Palm Beach Police work crashes inside the city, and the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated areas and several nearby towns. Florida Highway Patrol usually takes I-95 and the Turnpike. The report is filed with FLHSMV and can be pulled from the state crash portal or requested from the responding agency. Write down the case number before you leave.

Which court would handle a West Palm Beach injury case?

The Palm Beach County Courthouse downtown, in the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit. That circuit is one county only, which keeps things simpler than it sounds. The county also runs branch courthouses elsewhere, so ask the clerk where a particular case is filed. Smaller civil claims go to county court and larger ones to circuit court, and only a lawyer should tell you which is yours.

Does it matter that the other driver lives here only part of the year?

For your PIP, no. Your own policy pays the first $10,000 either way. It can matter later, because a driver who spends half the year in another state may be insured there, may be hard to reach for a statement, and may carry a policy written under rules that don't match Florida's. Photograph the insurance card at the scene.

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.
