Injured in Daytona Beach? You Have Rights — and a Deadline
Daytona Beach draws millions of visitors a year on top of a growing local population. Interstates 95 and 4 meet here, International Speedway Boulevard and US 1 carry race, beach and commuter traffic, and events like Speedweeks, Bike Week and Biketoberfest fill the roads with out-of-town drivers and riders. Volusia County recorded 9,014 crashes in 2024 — the 10th-highest total among Florida’s 67 counties — including 437 motorcycle crashes.
Florida law gives injury victims real rights: the right to full compensation from those whose negligence caused the harm, including medical bills, lost income, and pain and suffering. But it also imposes hard limits — a two-year statute of limitations for most negligence claims, a comparative fault rule that bars recovery if you're found more than 50% at fault, and insurance companies that begin building their defense the day the claim is opened.
Shiner Law Group has recovered more than $500 million for injured Floridians, and we bring that same representation to Daytona Beach and Volusia County — car and truck crashes, motorcycle and bicycle accidents, falls, and wrongful death.
No upfront cost, ever. Every case is handled on a strict contingency fee. Call (386) 999-7909 for a free, confidential consultation, available 24/7.

What to Do After an Accident in Daytona Beach
The steps you take in the first hours and days can make or break your claim.
Get to Safety and Call 911
Report injuries and request police at the scene. The crash report documents key facts — and what you tell the officer for that report is protected by Florida's accident report privilege.
Photograph Everything
Vehicles, damage, plates, skid marks, debris, traffic signals, and your visible injuries. Wide shots and close-ups both help.
Exchange Information & Identify Witnesses
Names, phone numbers, insurance and license details — and contact information for witnesses. Note nearby businesses that may have camera footage.
Seek Medical Care Right Away
Same day if possible. Prompt treatment protects your health, and Florida's PIP law requires initial treatment within 14 days for crash victims using PIP benefits.
Do Not Give a Recorded Statement
Decline recorded statements and do not sign anything from the other side's insurer before speaking with an attorney.
Call Shiner Law Group
(386) 999-7909. We preserve evidence, handle the insurers, and pursue full compensation. Free consultation, 24/7.
Who responds matters: depending on where it happened, the report may come from the Daytona Beach Police Department, the Daytona Beach Shores or Port Orange police, the Volusia Sheriff’s Office, or the Florida Highway Patrol (I-95, I-4 and state highways). We obtain the right report and the evidence behind it.
Florida Injury Law: Three Rules That Shape Every Case
These three rules decide more Daytona Beach injury claims than any others.
Two-Year Deadline
Most Florida negligence lawsuits must be filed within two years of the injury (HB 837, effective 2023). Miss it and the claim is gone forever — no matter how strong. Claims against government entities carry additional notice requirements.
The 50% Bar
Under Florida's modified comparative negligence rule, your recovery is reduced by your share of fault — and barred entirely if you are more than 50% at fault. Insurers work hard to push blame past that line.
Insurance Reality
Compensation almost always comes from insurance — auto liability, PIP, UM/UIM, homeowner's, or commercial policies. Finding every available policy is often the difference between a partial recovery and a full one.
Where Daytona Beach Injuries Happen
Injury cases come from every part of Daytona Beach: high-speed and truck crashes on I-95 and I-4, intersection collisions on International Speedway Boulevard, Nova Road and Beville Road, pedestrian and scooter crashes along A1A, and motorcycle crashes that spike during Bike Week and Biketoberfest.
We know these locations, the agencies that respond to them, and where the evidence lives — and we put that local knowledge to work proving fault.
Interstate 95
Volusia’s main north-south interstate — high-speed rear-end, lane-change and truck crashes, including at the I-4 and International Speedway Blvd interchanges
Interstate 4
The route to Orlando and DeLand — heavy visitor and commuter traffic ending at I-95 in Daytona Beach
International Speedway Blvd (US 92)
Race, retail and beach traffic from I-95 to the ocean, with busy intersections near the Speedway and airport
US 1 (Ridgewood Ave)
Older commercial corridor through Holly Hill, Daytona Beach and Port Orange with left-turn and driveway crashes
Nova Rd & Beville Rd
Commuter corridors with frequent intersection collisions and pedestrian crossings
A1A & the Beach
Hotels, pedestrians, scooters and beach driving in Daytona Beach and Daytona Beach Shores

How Insurance Companies Handle Injury Claims — and How We Respond
Insurance companies are businesses, and adjusters are trained to limit what they pay. These are the tactics we see most often in Volusia County claims — and each one has an answer.
Recorded Statements
Adjusters often ask for a recorded statement early, before your injuries are fully known. What you say can be used to dispute fault or the severity of your injuries.
Quick, Low Offers
An early offer may arrive before you know the full cost of treatment, lost income and future care. Once you accept and sign a release, the claim is closed.
Shifting Blame
Under Florida’s 50% rule, every percentage point of fault matters. Insurers may argue you were careless, distracted or partly responsible.
Disputing Treatment
Gaps in care, missed appointments or delayed treatment are often used to argue your injuries are minor or unrelated to the accident.
Pre-Existing Conditions
Prior injuries or degenerative changes may be blamed for your pain. Florida law allows recovery when an accident makes an existing condition worse.
Delay
Slow responses and repeated document requests can pressure injured people into settling. Florida law sets claim-handling duties that insurers must meet.
Social Media Review
Photos and posts may be reviewed and taken out of context. Keep your accounts private and avoid posting about the accident.
Policy Limits
The at-fault driver’s coverage may not be enough. We look for every available policy, including umbrella coverage and, in vehicle cases, your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage.
The most important thing to know: when you file a claim, the insurer opens a file and starts building its position right away. Shiner Law Group levels this from day one. Call (386) 999-7909 before giving any insurer a statement.
