Car Accident Cases We Handle
A crash happens in seconds, but the aftermath can take over your life. You don’t have to face it alone: Salpeter Gitkin handles every kind of Hollywood car and vehicle accident, focused on the care and compensation you’re owed.
Car Accidents
Whether it’s a fender bender on a side street or a major collision on I-95, a car accident can change your life. Our attorneys handle the details of your claim with care, so you can focus on your recovery.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving trucks often result in severe injuries. We understand the unique challenges these cases present and are here to fight for full compensation, ensuring you’re not overwhelmed by the legal process.
Uber/Lyft Accidents
If you’ve been injured as a passenger, driver, or pedestrian in a rideshare accident, we’re here to help. Uber and Lyft accident claims can be complicated, and our team will guide you through the process and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Hit-and-Run Accidents
Hit-and-run crashes are all too common on Hollywood-Dade roads, and the driver who fled isn’t your only path to recovery. We investigate thoroughly and pursue every available source of compensation, including your own coverage.
Motorcycle Accidents
Pedestrian Accidents
Uninsured & Underinsured Drivers
Many Hollywood drivers carry no insurance at all. If the driver who hit you can’t pay, your own uninsured motorist coverage may be the real path to recovery — and we know how to pursue it.
Wrongful Death
Talk to Us Before You Talk to the Insurance Company
The insurance company’s first offer is rarely a fair one. Before you give a recorded statement or accept anything, call us — in person at our Brickell Avenue office or by phone, wherever you are in South Florida.

What is my car accident case worth in Florida?
It depends on your medical bills, lost income, how lasting your injuries are, and the insurance coverage available — no honest lawyer can quote a number before reviewing the facts. What we can do is give you a free, straight answer about where your case stands. Tell us what happened and find out today.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim in Florida?
For most Florida negligence claims arising after March 24, 2023, the deadline is two years from the date of the crash — half what it used to be, and it passes faster than you’d think once treatment is underway. Some situations have different deadlines, so the safe move is to have a lawyer confirm yours early. A free consultation settles it in one call.
What if the other driver doesn't have insurance?
It happens in Hollywood more than almost anywhere, and it doesn’t end your case. Your own uninsured motorist coverage and Florida’s required personal injury protection (PIP) benefits may apply, and we identify every source of coverage available to you. Bring us your policy and we’ll tell you what you’re working with — free.
What if I was partly at fault for the accident?
Florida now uses a modified comparative negligence rule: your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, and if you’re found more than 50% at fault you generally recover nothing. Insurers know this and push blame onto victims — which is why fault should be contested early, before the story hardens. Don’t accept their version; get a free case review first.
How much does a car accident lawyer cost?
Nothing up front. The consultation is free, and we work on contingency: no fees unless you’re paid. Court costs and case expenses may be the client’s responsibility — we explain exactly how that works before you sign anything.
