Titusville Car Accident Lawyer
Titusville may not be as well known as Miami or Tampa, but it is still a popular tourist city in Florida. Located just a short drive from Orlando, lots of people prefer to stay in Titusville when doing a Disney trip so they can avoid the crowds when not visiting the theme parks.
But Titusville is more than just a place to sleep while visiting Mickey and the gang. Titusville is a lovely shore town with several interesting tourist attractions, including nearby Cape Canaveral. Even if you have no interest in exploring the major theme parks in the area, you can easily enjoy a week or two in this Florida town.
Unfortunately, nothing ever comes without a price. And the price for being an exceptional shore town that attracts thousands of tourists every year is a lot of traffic. Between residents and tourists, millions of cars drive in or through Titusville, FL, every year.
Inevitably, this extra traffic results in car accidents. And car accidents result in injuries and having to deal with insurance companies. The latter is never fun and can turn an already terrible situation into a nightmare.
If you have been injured in a car accident, you need the help of car accident lawyers in Titusville, FL, to deal with your insurer.
The car accident lawyers in Titusville, FL, at Morgan & Morgan understand the stress and pain you experience after a crash. We will take on the insurance companies so that you don’t have to.

Several Accident Dangers in Titusville
Increased traffic makes for more accidents. But traffic alone isn’t the only reason that you might end up in an accident in Titusville. This city has specific dangers due to the geography and nearby attractions.
Route I-95
One of the largest interstate highways in the country runs along the edge of Titusville. Route I-95 is the main road that most people use when traveling to Palm Beach, Miami, and Jacksonville. It is also one of the primary highways used to travel to all states north of Florida.
Like most other interstates, I-95 has the highest speed limit of any road in Florida. You are legally allowed to drive 70 miles per hour on this highway, and most drivers travel faster than that.
When people are driving at high speeds, especially if they are violating the speed limit, there’s an increased chance that they will get into an accident. Furthermore, accidents are most common on interstates near interchanges, and there is an interchange in Titusville. Also, the usual dangers associated with interstates are present, including:
- Tired drivers
- Distracted drivers
- Significant truck traffic
- Drivers who are unfamiliar with the road
Unfortunately, if you have to use the interstate to travel somewhere, there aren’t many options to avoid it. But you should be wary when entering or leaving the highway at the Titusville interchange. And if you still get into an accident, immediately contact the car accident lawyers in Titusville, FL, at Morgan and Morgan.
Tourists
The main danger from tourists isn’t that they add extra vehicles to the road — it’s that they are unfamiliar with the area. This fact, more than anything else, leads to increased accidents in Titusville, FL.
When drivers don’t know the roads well, they are more likely to rely on maps. While few people use physical maps anymore, digital maps are very common. But to use these, drivers usually need to look at a digital display in their car or on their smartphones.
Even a quick look means that the driver is taking their eyes off the road, usually when they are near an intersection. This momentary distraction is even more dangerous because intersections are one of the places where accidents are most likely to occur.
Furthermore, drivers who are unfamiliar with an area are more likely to slow down unexpectedly or drive at speeds that don’t match the rest of the traffic. They are also more likely to fail to signal when making sudden turns. This type of behavior leads to an increase in accidents.
Recommendations From Car Accident Lawyers in Titusville, FL, for Avoiding Accidents
Typically, when a client enters our office, they have already been involved in an accident. And while we will do everything in our power to help them get fair compensation from their insurance company, we would prefer that they never got hurt in the first place. To that end, we have put together advice on how to avoid accidents.
Walk When Possible
Titusville, like many shore towns, is pedestrian friendly. Depending on where you live or are staying, there is almost always a way to reach the shore with just a short walk. You will have to cross Route 1, which means you should plan to cross at an intersection and obey the traffic light. But otherwise, you should be relatively safe.
If you are visiting the city, take some time to plan your trip. You may be pleasantly surprised at how much of Titusville is accessible by foot. And since the city has several country clubs, you can often walk through lovely areas that don’t have any vehicle traffic.
Travel by Car in the Morning
As a rule of thumb, people who are on vacation don’t like waking up early. They prefer to sleep in and are more likely to be driving in the afternoon or at night. You can take advantage of this by driving around the city during the morning hours.
Use Public Transportation
Public transportation can be a safer way to travel than a personal vehicle. You may have to schedule your day a little more carefully to take advantage of it, but that shouldn’t be too challenging.
If you are a tourist, your hotel might also have shuttles that travel to nearby attractions. Check with the concierge to find out what’s available. It might even be included free of charge as part of your hotel cost.
Why You Need Car Accident Lawyers in Titusville, FL, After Being Injured in a Car Accident
In theory, if you have car insurance, getting compensation for medical attention after a car accident should be easy. You just need to file your claim and report your medical bills, and the insurance company should pay for all the medical treatment you require.
Unfortunately, reality rarely lives up to the theory. All too often, your insurer will find some excuse to deny your claim or pay you a fraction of the compensation that you deserve. When that happens, you can find yourself drowning in debt, owing tens of thousands of dollars or more in medical bills.
At Morgan & Morgan, we have helped many clients who were facing these exact circumstances. And all too often, they haven’t come to us until long after their claim was denied, or they received way too little money. Coming to us that late makes it difficult for us to help them the way we’d like to.
We recommend that you hire our law firm as soon as possible after being injured in an accident in Titusville, FL. The sooner we take your case, the more money we can usually get for you, and the happier you will likely be at the conclusion of your claim.
What many of our clients don’t realize is that time is of the essence. If there is evidence that supports your claim, it can easily disappear just a few days after the accident. And witnesses will begin to forget details within a similar period. We need to start investigating your case as soon as possible.
This investigation is critical because we aren’t the only ones investigating the accident. Your insurance company also assigns someone to look into the details of your claim. This individual is looking for evidence to deny your claim or to limit the amount of money you can receive in compensation.
Without a Morgan and Morgan attorney representing you, there is a good chance the insurance company will use the evidence they uncover to minimize the payment you receive. But with our support, you will be able to counter them with evidence that supports your claim and forces them to pay you fair compensation.
Unfortunately, the insurance company may also dispute what is fair in your claim. This typically means that they will try to undervalue the cost of medical treatments you receive or assert that your injuries don’t require more expensive forms of treatment.
We are familiar with this tactic, and we are prepared to fight against it. Our attorneys can connect you with experienced doctors who will attest to your need for specific forms of treatment and provide irrefutable documentation about the cost. We can also reference similar past cases to illustrate the true costs of your injury.
We use this information to negotiate a fair settlement offer that pays for all your current and future medical bills. Our goal is to get you the maximum amount of money that you are eligible for under the laws of Florida. In this manner, we can remove the stress of medical bills and help you recover from your injuries as swiftly as possible.

Morgan & Morgan
What is The Car Accident Lawsuit Process?
Medical Examination
Your first step after an auto accident should be to seek medical attention — even if your injuries seem to be minor. The medical professional in charge of your care should take detailed notes of your injuries, making sure to include any internal injuries you sustained as well. They should also record any potential health issues that may become prevalent in the future.
After you have visited a medical professional, you should retain a trusted attorney to assist you in the following steps.
Investigation
Your attorney can now begin investigating your case and gathering evidence. They may:
- Acquire photo evidence of the accident scene (and video if available)
- Review your medical records and the accident reports
- Interview eyewitnesses
- Consult subject matter experts
Creating a Demand Letter
Your attorney can now create a comprehensive list of all your injuries and establish a dollar amount for each. This list will be included in the demand letter, which will also include an explanation of how the other party was acting negligently and a formal request for compensation. The letter is then sent to the at-fault party’s insurance provider for review.
Negotiation and Litigation
The insurance company of the at-fault party might offer a settlement to prevent the case from going to court. A Morgan & Morgan attorney can review this offer, determine if the compensation meets the full value of your case, and negotiate to reach a fair settlement. Insurance companies know how relentlessly we fight for our clients, and that reputation gives us leverage when negotiating.
If no agreement can be reached, we’re ready and eager to take your case into the courtroom. All of our attorneys are experienced and trial-ready, so we always walk into court with the upper hand. You shouldn’t settle for less than you deserve, and neither will we.
What Are The Types of Damages?
Car accident lawsuits can vary depending on your case, but here are the most common damages that are sought for recovery:
- Past and future medical costs
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Funeral expenses (in the unfortunate case of wrongful death)
Will I Have to Go to Trial to Get Compensation From My Insurance Company?
Hopefully, you will never see the inside of a courtroom. In the majority of cases, our car accident lawyers in Titusville, FL, negotiate a fair settlement that both sides agree to. When that happens, there is no reason to bring the courts into the dispute.
However, if the insurance company refuses to agree to a fair offer, typically, your only option is to file a lawsuit. The good news is that Morgan & Morgan has an exceptional record of winning car accident cases in Florida. Our attorneys are always prepared to go to court and have the experience needed to win most cases.
Does Fault Matter in a Florida Car Accident?
Florida is a no-fault state. That means, in the majority of cases, that your insurance policy pays for your injuries, regardless of who was at fault in the accident. The fault still needs to be determined, though. And, occasionally, this will affect how you collect compensation and whose insurance pays for it.
How Much Will Car Accident Lawyers in Titusville, FL, Cost Me?
We can’t speak for other law firms, but when you are represented by Morgan and Morgan, you will never spend a dime unless we win you money. The initial consultation is always free, and then we work on contingency until your case concludes.
If we win compensation for you, we will charge you a fee based on the amount of money that we won for you. Since that fee is a percentage of your total award, the more money we win for you, the more we are paid. This encourages us to try to maximize the amount of money you can fairly receive for your injuries.
When Should I Expect to Get Paid for My Claim?
Typically, when we negotiate a settlement, the total time from start to finish is just a few months. If your case is simple enough, you could potentially receive money in two to three weeks. However, if the case goes to trial, you will most likely have to wait at least a year, and maybe more, to get paid.
Car Accident Lawyers in Titusville, FL, Who Care
When it comes down to it, your insurance company just doesn’t care about your well-being. It wants to make as much money as possible and the best way to do that is to pay you as little compensation for your claims as possible.
Morgan & Morgan is different. We care about your health and your quick recovery.
If you want to see what a difference it makes when the people representing you care about you, contact us today to schedule a free case evaluation and speak with a lawyer who will listen to your concerns.
