What to Do After a Car Accident in Boca Raton: A Step-by-Step Guide
From the I-95 shoulder to the ER and beyond — the exact sequence of steps that protects your health and your case.
1. Call 911
Always call 911, even for what feels like a minor crash. The Florida Highway Patrol or Boca Raton Police will document the scene and assign fault.
2. Photograph everything
Vehicle damage, license plates, road conditions, traffic signals, and visible injuries. Take wide shots and close-ups.
3. See a doctor within 14 days
Florida PIP requires treatment within 14 days. Boca Raton Regional Hospital is the closest Level II trauma center.
4. Do not give a recorded statement
Adjusters will call within 48 hours. Politely decline until you've spoken with a lawyer.
