Serving Louisiana, Florida, Colorado, and Mississippi

A car accident can total your vehicle, keep you out of work, and leave you negotiating with an insurance adjuster whose job is to pay you as little as possible. Knowing what your claim is actually worth, and how the law in your state treats fault and deadlines, changes that conversation.

A car accident lawyer investigates your crash, documents your damages, and negotiates or litigates against the insurance company to recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Godbey Giardina Law Group represents injured drivers and passengers across Louisiana, Florida, Colorado, and Mississippi on a contingency fee basis, meaning there's no fee unless we win.

Godbey Giardina Law Group has recovered more than $100 million for injured clients across the Gulf Coast, the Rocky Mountains, and Florida, including car accident cases ranging from single-vehicle crashes to multi-vehicle pileups. Here's what a car accident claim can cover, how the law differs across the states we serve, and how our attorneys build your case.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

Car accidents rarely look the same twice, and the details of yours shape what your claim is worth:

Rear-end and intersection collisions, including T-bone crashes at stop signs and signals.
Highway accidents and multi-vehicle pileups, where fault often has to be sorted out between several drivers.
Hit-and-run and uninsured or underinsured motorist claims, where your own policy may become the source of recovery.
Motorcycle and pedestrian accidents, which frequently involve more severe injuries and more aggressive pushback from insurers.
Rollovers and fatal or wrongful death crashes, which require immediate evidence preservation and, in wrongful death cases, a claim brought on behalf of the family.

A car accident property damage lawyer on our team can also pursue repair or replacement costs for your vehicle alongside your injury claim, so property damage doesn't get resolved separately for less than it's worth.

How Fault, Insurance, and Deadlines Work in Louisiana, Florida, Colorado & Mississippi

Car accident law isn't the same from state to state, and the differences directly affect what you can recover and how much time you have to act.

State	Filing Deadline for a Car Accident Claim	What Makes It Different
Louisiana	2 years	New modified comparative fault rule (below) took effect January 1, 2026
Florida	2 years	No-fault state; your own PIP coverage pays first, regardless of fault
Colorado	3 years	Longer window applies specifically to motor vehicle accident claims
Mississippi	3 years	Set by Miss. Code Ann. § 15-1-49

Deadlines can vary depending on the type of claim, defendant, and circumstances, so the applicable deadline should be confirmed for each case.

Louisiana changed its fault rule at the start of 2026. Under Act No. 15, a driver found 51% or more at fault for a crash can no longer recover any damages, a shift from the state's prior pure comparative fault system. Below that 51% threshold, your recovery is still reduced by your own share of fault, so how fault gets assigned matters more than ever in a Louisiana claim.

Florida remains a no-fault state. Required PIP coverage generally provides up to $10,000 in benefits, subject to statutory requirements, and initial treatment generally must be obtained within 14 days for PIP medical benefits to apply. A person may pursue certain damages against the at-fault party when the injury satisfies Florida's statutory threshold for a tort claim.

Colorado and Mississippi both use traditional fault-based systems, with longer filing windows of three years, but insurers in both states still dispute liability and injury severity the same way insurers do everywhere. In any of the four states, missing an applicable filing deadline can bar a claim, so it's important to determine the deadline that applies to your specific circumstances as early as possible.

How Godbey Giardina Law Group Handles Your Car Accident Claim

Every car accident claim moves through the same basic stages, though the details shift depending on your state and the facts of your crash:

Free consultation. We review what happened, your injuries, and any insurance correspondence you've already received, at no cost.
Investigation. Our team preserves evidence, gathers the police report, and interviews witnesses before the details fade or disappear.
Documentation. We build a complete record of your medical treatment, lost income, and property damage, not just what an adjuster's first offer assumes.
Negotiation. Our attorneys negotiate directly with the insurance company, pushing back on lowball offers and disputed fault.
Litigation, if needed. When negotiation doesn't get you a fair result, we're prepared to take your case to court.

No attorney can guarantee a specific outcome before reviewing your case, and prior results don't predict what happens in yours. Our attorneys provide an individualized review of the facts and communicate with you throughout the process.
