Injured in a Crash? Let’s Get You the Help You Deserve.

Every year, thousands of Floridians are injured or killed in car accidents caused by distracted, reckless, or impaired drivers. The aftermath of a crash can be overwhelming — you're likely dealing with physical pain, lost income, mounting medical bills, and emotional trauma. At Sasieta Law, we’re here to shoulder the legal burden so you can focus on healing.


Florida operates under a "no-fault" insurance system, meaning your own insurance typically covers medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the accident. However, the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage required in Florida only covers up to $10,000 — and often less, depending on the diagnosis. That’s not nearly enough for serious injuries that require extensive treatment, time off work, or long-term care. When your injuries are severe, you may be able to step outside the no-fault system and file a claim against the at-fault driver. That’s where we come in.

Speeding or aggressive driving

High speeds and reckless maneuvers put everyone on the road at risk. These cases often involve severe injuries, and we know how to prove fault even when drivers deny wrongdoing.

DUI-related crashes

Crashes caused by drunk or drug-impaired drivers are entirely preventable. We work to get justice for victims and expose the full extent of the at-fault party’s negligence.

Failure to yield or stop

Ignoring stop signs, red lights, or right-of-way rules can lead to high-impact collisions. We help gather the evidence needed to show who had the legal responsibility.

Dangerous intersections and road conditions

Potholes, missing signage, poor lighting — not all accidents are caused by other drivers. If unsafe road conditions contributed to your crash, we explore every angle to identify liability.
