Andrew Pickett Law represents individuals and families injured in serious car accidents in Melbourne, Florida and throughout the surrounding Space Coast communities in Brevard County. If you were injured in a crash caused by a negligent driver, our experienced Melbourne car accident lawyers can help you pursue compensation for medical bills, lost income, vehicle damage, and pain and suffering. We offer free consultations and charge no legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
Car Accident Lawyers Serving Melbourne, Florida
Car accidents are among the primary causes of severe, life-altering injuries throughout Melbourne and the surrounding Brevard County area. High traffic volumes on major local thoroughfares such as US-1, Wickham Road, Eau Gallie Boulevard, Babcock Street, and Palm Bay Road often contribute to complex collisions involving passenger vehicles, commercial semi-trucks, motorcycles, and rideshare vehicles.
At Andrew Pickett Law, our legal team provides experienced, trial-ready representation for individuals injured in a wide variety of motor vehicle accident scenarios. Led by a former prosecutor with over 50 jury trials tried to verdict, our firm thoroughly investigates the unique logistics of each crash. We work tirelessly to hold negligent drivers and corporate insurance providers accountable for the physical and financial harm they cause.
Financial Compensation Available After a Melbourne Car Accident
The true cost of a motor vehicle accident extends far beyond the immediate damage to your vehicle. Depending on the specific details of your collision, you may be legally entitled to pursue economic and non-economic damages. Our Melbourne injury attorneys assist clients in aggressively pursuing compensation for:
- Medical Expenses: Coverage for emergency room visits, diagnostic imaging (MRIs and CT scans), surgeries, hospital stays, and ongoing specialty medical treatment.
- Lost Income & Diminished Earning Capacity: Compensation for immediate missed workdays, lost overtime, or a documented long-term reduction in your ability to earn a living.
- Property Damage Losses: Reimbursement for vehicle repairs, structural damage, or the total loss of fair market value of your automobile.
- Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the enduring physical pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and psychological trauma caused by the crash.
- Catastrophic Injury Accommodations: Long-term financial provisions for permanent disabilities, spinal cord injuries, or traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).
- Wrongful Death Damages: Equitable financial recovery for surviving family members tasked with handling funeral expenses, medical balances, and the loss of financial support after losing a loved one. Learn more about the legal variables of these claims in our guide on winning a wrongful death suit.
Why Legal Representation Matters: Insurance adjusters routinely deploy high-pressure tactics to minimize claims payouts or secure quick, lowball settlements before the full scope of an injury is medically diagnosed. Knowing what to do after a car accident—and what dangerous mistakes to avoid—ensures your long-term wellness is never compromised for an insurer’s profit margin.
Critical Deadline: Florida’s Two-Year Negligence Law
If you have been injured in a car crash on or after March 24, 2023, you must look closely at the calendar. Under Florida law (House Bill 837), the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit based on negligence was cut directly in half —reduced from four years down to just two years from the exact date of the accident.
Waiting to speak with an attorney can severely jeopardize your claim. Over the course of a few months, critical physical evidence can vanish, traffic camera or surveillance footage can be deleted, and witness memories fade. Even if you think your collision was minor, unexpected hidden injuries like whiplash can appear weeks down the road, and you may find yourself wondering if you can sue someone for a minor car accident. To build the most resilient case possible, it is vital to contact a car accident lawyer as soon as you are medically stable.

"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!!!!"

I had an auto accident back in September, and went to Andrew Pickette Law to get a case going for my medical expenses I was having to deal with. I was working closely with Vonda and Tiffany Whitehouse through the last several months. We’ve finally come to the conclusion of my case and I am so thrilled with the outcome. These ladies have been here for every question and concern that I’ve had during this process. This is an exceptional law office and would recommend anyone seek out their services. You’re getting someone that is from our area, knows Florida laws, and truly gets to know their clients.

So far, Pickett law, and Ashley in particular have been amazing. They work so quick and are very responsive. I was in an accident Friday and called Friday evening after business hours and they contacted me first thing Monday morning to let me know they were working on my case. I feel safe having this firm in my corner.

Andrew Pickett is an exceptional attorney and an even more incredible advocate for his clients! I had the pleasure of hosting him on The Care Sandwich Podcast, where he shared his journey and passion for helping those who’ve been wronged.
Andrew’s compassion and expertise truly set him apart, he’s not just a lawyer, he’s someone who genuinely cares about making a difference. If you’re in need of a personal injury attorney who will fight for you every step of the way, Andrew is the one to call. Highly recommend!

I have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Ashley as my first time dealing with an attorney and their staff. She helped make sense out of a lot of unknowns and questions I had. She is a joy to speak to and quick to respond to you, either after a phone call or text. I hope my whole experience with this group will be as comfortable as it was speaking with Ashley. I’m sure it will be.

For almost 2 yrs Mr. Pickett and his team worked endlessly on my case. They showed tremendous dedication and drive. Lindsey was always staying in contact and always reassuring me that they got this so don’t worry. Today I get a call stating we WON, all I can say is thank God that Andrew and Lindsey took my case because without them I don’t know what would have happened. God bless them both I love you guys.
