Spring Break in Daytona Beach: What to Do After a Car Accident

Spring Break in Daytona Beach is full of beaches, parties, and excitement. But one moment of fun can quickly turn into a nightmare if you or someone you love is involved in a car accident.

At The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A., our award-winning Florida accident attorneys help spring breakers and locals alike after serious crashes in Daytona Beach, Winter Park, Orlando, Stuart, Gainesville, and serve all of Florida.

Accidents on the Beach

Daytona Beach is unique because drivers can take their cars directly onto the sand.

While convenient, it also creates risks:

• A driver could hit you while you’re walking or relaxing on the beach.

• You may accidentally hit a pedestrian while driving on the sand.

Since there are no typical “rules of the road” on the beach, determining fault is more complicated. An experienced Daytona Beach accident lawyer can help untangle liability and fight for your compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Daytona Beach is a global hub for motorcycle enthusiasts — especially during Bike Week. Whether you’re riding, renting, or struck by a motorcycle, the laws for these accidents can be different than for cars.

Our Daytona Beach motorcycle accident attorneys understand these cases and know how to hold negligent riders or drivers accountable.

Uber, Lyft, Ride Share Services, and Rental Cars

Spring breakers often use ride share services or rental cars to get around. But when an accident happens, the insurance process is complex:

• Multiple policies may apply (personal, commercial, rental, or ride share coverage).

• Did you purchase renter’s insurance?

• Was the car booked through Turo, Uber, or Lyft?

The answers to these questions can drastically affect your recovery. Our firm handles ride share and rental car accident claims so you don’t have to navigate the insurance maze alone.

Immediate Steps After a Daytona Beach Car Accident

If you’re in a car accident during Spring Break:

1. Call 911 – Safety and medical care come first.

2. Call the police – File a report and exchange insurance and driver information.

3. If in Uber/Lyft – Get your driver’s details.

4. Take photos – Document the vehicles, scene, and injuries.

5. Get medical treatment immediately – Florida’s 14-day rule affects PIP coverage and your right to compensation.

6. Contact our firm – Call (407) 900-FIRM so we can guide you through the process.

Out-of-State Visitors

Many Spring Breakers are from outside Florida. Jurisdictional issues and insurance coverage can complicate your case. Not all law firms are equipped to litigate these cases in state or federal court.

Our attorneys at The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A. are experienced litigators who will fight insurance companies in court if that’s what it takes to secure maximum compensation.

Common Car Accident Injuries

Car accidents can cause:

• Whiplash and neck injuries

• Broken bones

• Traumatic brain injuries (TBI)

• Cuts, scrapes, and bruises

• Emotional trauma

These injuries often result in expensive medical bills, lost wages, and long-term recovery needs. We help ensure your damages are fully valued and compensated.
