What Is Accident Reconstruction , And Why It Matters in Florida Claims
Accident reconstruction is the process of investigating, analyzing, and modeling the details of a crash to determine how it happened. This isn’t guesswork , it’s science. Experts use physical evidence like skid marks, vehicle damage, crash data from black boxes, and even weather reports to figure out:
- The direction and speed of each vehicle
- When and how brakes were applied
- Points of impact and sequence of events
- Who had the right of way and who violated it
- Whether distractions, intoxication, or mechanical failures played a role
In Florida, which follows a comparative fault system, determining each party’s share of liability is crucial. The more fault that’s assigned to the other driver, the more compensation you may be entitled to.
At Andrew Pickett Law, we work with certified accident reconstruction experts to provide visual models, expert reports, and compelling courtroom testimony when needed. This is often the key to unlocking justice in disputed or high-stakes injury claims.

Practice Areas Supported by Accident Reconstruction
At Andrew Pickett Law, we incorporate accident reconstruction in a wide range of personal injury claims. This includes:
Car Accidents
Whether it’s a rear-end collision in Indialantic or a high-speed T-bone on Wickham Road in Melbourne, reconstruction helps us establish how the crash occurred and who’s truly responsible.
Truck Accidents
Large commercial vehicles bring federal regulations, black box data, and significant property damage , ideal conditions for a full forensic analysis.
Motorcycle Accidents
Due to limited protection and high-speed impacts, it’s common for riders to suffer life-altering injuries. Reconstruction clarifies visibility, road conditions, and response time.
Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents
Especially at intersections or crosswalks, reconstruction can show whether a driver failed to yield or was speeding through a turn.
Rideshare Accidents (Uber/Lyft)
With multiple policies and overlapping coverage, proving who caused the crash is the first step. Our legal team knows how to secure GPS data and app logs.
Florida’s Statute of Limitations for Car Accident Claims
Under Florida law, you generally have two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit (as of the 2023 tort reform changes). If your case involves wrongful death, that window may also be two years from the date of death.
Don’t wait to act , accident evidence degrades fast. Vehicles get repaired. Skid marks fade. Surveillance footage gets deleted. The earlier you contact a lawyer, the stronger your case will be.

"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"
Florida’s Comparative Fault Rule: Why Reconstruction Can Boost Your Payout
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system. If you’re found more than 50% at fault, you can’t recover any damages. If you’re 50% or less at fault, your compensation is reduced proportionally.
That means if the insurer wrongly claims you were speeding, distracted, or violating traffic laws , and you can’t prove otherwise , you could lose a substantial portion of your settlement. Accident reconstruction can push that percentage in your favor.
What Damages Can You Recover With the Help of an Accident Reconstruction Lawyer?
Depending on your injuries and the details of the crash, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical bills (past and future)
- Lost wages and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement or disability
- Property damage
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Wrongful death damages for surviving family members
A thorough reconstruction often supports higher-value claims, especially when lifelong injuries or disputed liability are involved.
