What Being Hurt in North Brevard Actually Changes
Almost everything written about injury claims is written for the whole state. Some of it stops being true a few miles from here.
Where your case is heard depends on where the other side lives. In October 2025 the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit created a North Jurisdiction at the Historic Titusville Courthouse on South Palm Avenue. County civil cases — those worth $50,000 or less — are assigned there by the defendant’s ZIP code, not yours, and not by where you were hurt. If the person who injured you lives in Titusville or Mims, your case is heard in this building. Above $50,000 it is heard at the Moore Justice Center in Viera, about thirty miles south.
Parrish Medical Center is a government body. It is run by the North Brevard County Hospital District, and its own audited accounts state that it relies on sovereign immunity. That places a $200,000 limit on a claim arising from care there, and requires written notice before a suit can be filed. The same injury in a private hospital carries neither. Very few people here know that about their own hospital.
There is no trauma center in Titusville. Anyone badly hurt is taken to Holmes Regional in Melbourne, the only Level II trauma center in Brevard County. Your records, your bills and your treating doctors then sit in a different city from where you were hurt and from the courthouse.
US-1, Cheney Highway, Columbia Boulevard and Garden Street belong to the state, not the city. When the road itself is part of what went wrong, that is a claim against the Florida Department of Transportation, and it is made differently from a claim against Titusville or Brevard County.
Why Clients Choose Andrew Pickett Law
Andrew started out as a prosecutor at the State Attorney’s Office for the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit — the circuit whose courthouse stands across the street from this office. He handled thousands of cases there, from misdemeanors to serious felonies, and it is where he learned to try a case in front of a Brevard County jury.
Over the last ten years he has tried more than fifty jury trials to verdict. That matters for an unglamorous reason. Insurers keep track of which lawyers actually try cases and which ones settle everything, and that tends to show up in what they offer long before anything is filed.
He chairs the Judicial Nominating Commission for this circuit and has served as president of the Brevard County Bar Association. He has lived in Brevard County since 1987 and went to high school here.
And he builds the case himself.
According to Avvo, around a dozen personal injury lawyers serve Titusville. Most people choosing between them are doing it from a website and a review count, in the worst week of their year. Ask any of them the same questions: who builds the case, who picks up the phone at week six, and whether the fee changes if a lawsuit gets filed. You should come away with names and numbers rather than adjectives.
Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Claims
Who will actually be working on my case?
Andrew builds the case and supervises it.
Building it is the part that decides what your case becomes. Which records we go after and when. Which doctors we need to hear from. What we can prove about what happened. Whether the file is ready to settle or ready for a fight. He does that himself.
Ask this question at every firm you talk to. They all say you will work with an attorney. Ask them who does the work, and ask who picks up the phone when you have a question. You should come away with names.
What if the claim is against the hospital, the city, or the state?
These are different from a claim against another driver, a shop, or any other private business, in ways that matter early.
Florida allows claims against its own government bodies, but on its own terms. Damages are limited to $200,000 for one person and $300,000 for one incident. Anything above that can only be paid if the Legislature passes a bill for it, which is rare and slow. A bill to raise those limits passed both chambers this year and was vetoed on 30 June 2026, so the figures are unchanged.
Written notice has to be given before a suit is filed. Who receives it depends on who you are claiming against. A claim against the City of Titusville goes to the city and a claim against Brevard County goes to the county, while a claim against a state agency such as the Department of Transportation goes both to that agency and to the Department of Financial Services in Tallahassee. This is the one people miss, and US-1, Cheney Highway, Columbia Boulevard and Garden Street are all state roads.
Parrish Medical Center sits inside all of this. It is operated by the North Brevard County Hospital District, a taxing district, and its published accounts say it relies on sovereign immunity. So a claim arising from care at the town’s only hospital is capped and requires notice, while the identical claim against a private hospital thirty miles away is not.
We will tell you plainly if that is the situation you are in, including when the cap means a case is worth less than the injury deserves. You are better off hearing it in the first week than in the eighteenth month.
Deadlines here are shorter than most people assume, and they are not the same for every kind of claim. If a government body might be involved, that is a reason to ask sooner rather than later.
Can’t I just deal with the insurance company on my own?
Sometimes you can. If nobody was hurt, nobody is arguing about who caused it, and all that is left is repairing or replacing something — a damaged car, a broken fence — you probably do not need a lawyer for that, and a good firm will tell you so.
What matters is not the size of the number, but whether anything is genuinely in dispute and whether anyone yet knows how the injury will end up.
It is worth talking to a lawyer before you handle it yourself if any of the following apply:
- You are still treating, or your doctors do not yet know where you will end up.
- Fault is contested, or you are being told some of it was yours.
- Whoever is responsible has no insurance, or not enough of it — an uninsured driver, a business, a property owner.
- A government body might be involved — the city, the county, a state road, or Parrish.
- You have been asked for a recorded statement.
- An offer arrived before you finished treating.
Whichever way you go, the adjuster is not neutral and is not your adviser. Their job is to work out what your claim is going to cost their company. That does not make them dishonest; it makes them the other side of it.
Whatever you decide, do not agree to a recorded statement while you still do not know how badly you are hurt, and do not sign a release until you understand what it closes off — a release usually ends the claim for good, including for an injury that turns out worse later.
How a claim actually works, start to finish
The first two weeks
Get seen early, and keep the record unbroken. Whether you were hurt in a crash, in a fall on someone else’s property, or by any other kind of negligence, the gap between the injury and your first medical record is the thing an insurer will point at later. People who feel fine on the day and stiffen up a fortnight later hand the other side an argument that the injury came from something else. What counts is that the treatment starts, not how quickly it works.
If your injury came from a motor vehicle crash there is also a hard deadline. Florida’s no-fault coverage — the part of your own policy that pays first, whoever was at fault — pays no medical benefits at all unless your care starts inside fourteen days, and people lose that coverage entirely by waiting. More on car accident claims.
That coverage is smaller than it sounds. The headline figure is $10,000, but it pays 80 percent of medical bills and 60 percent of lost wages, up to that total. The remainder is yours unless something else covers it. Knowing that early changes which treatment you agree to and in what order.
Be careful about a recorded statement. The insurer on the other side — the at-fault driver’s carrier, a property owner’s liability insurer, a hospital’s malpractice carrier — will ask for one, often within days, often warmly. You are not required to give it. What you say while you are medicated, exhausted, and unsure how badly you are hurt is quoted back later with none of that context attached. Say you will call back.
Weeks two to twelve
Treatment carries on and the file is built underneath it. Records requested, wages documented, the report obtained, witnesses found while they still remember. Almost nothing visible happens in this stretch, which is when most people assume nothing is happening. The claim cannot be valued until your doctors know where you are going to end up.
If you have no health insurance, treatment is still possible. Providers will sometimes agree to treat now and be paid out of the recovery later. It is a real arrangement with real trade-offs, and it is worth asking about rather than going without care.
Month three onward
A demand goes out. An adjuster values it against what their company expects to pay, not against what happened to you. Their first number is an opening position. Most claims settle in this phase. A lawsuit is what happens when their number and what the claim should actually pay are too far apart.
What actually reaches you
This is the question people are most reluctant to ask out loud, so here it is answered without being asked.
Money comes off a settlement in an order, and the order matters more than any single percentage.
- The fee comes out of the recovery. You pay nothing if there is no recovery.
- Costs are separate from the fee. Filing fees, medical records, expert reports, court reporters. These also come out of the recovery.
- Your agreement should say in writing whether costs come out before or after the fee is calculated. Those two orderings produce different numbers from the same settlement. Ask about it before you sign — here, or anywhere else.
- Liens are paid from your share. Health insurers, hospitals and some government programs can have a right to be repaid out of what you recover. Some can be negotiated down. That negotiation is real work and it changes your number.
At the end you are entitled to a written statement showing what came in, what was paid and to whom, and how your figure was arrived at. That is not a courtesy. If it does not arrive, ask for it.

Went to the Trunk or Treat hosted by Andrew Pickett Law at the greater Palm Bay senior center and had an absolute lovely time! The lovely woman at the door dressed like Barbie greeted my niece and I both with a warm smile and complimented her costume! Brought a big smile to her face.
