Florida Car Accident Lawyer
If you've been injured in a car accident anywhere in Florida, you deserve an advocate who answers your calls and fights for every dollar. Attorney Phillip Stamman handles your case personally from start to finish. Our office is in Panama City Beach.
Why hire a Florida car accident attorney?
Drivers are expected to follow the rules of the road, but many don't, and the resulting crashes cause real, lasting injuries. Insurance companies are in the business of paying as little as possible, and they have teams working to reduce or deny your claim. Skilled legal representation levels the playing field.
Attorney Phillip Stamman knows how to handle these situations and push back against insurer tactics. With more than a decade of experience and a background as a former prosecutor, he builds strong cases and works tirelessly to secure the maximum compensation available so you can move forward after a life-altering accident.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do after a car accident in Florida?
Call 911, seek medical care even if you feel fine, photograph the scene and vehicles, exchange information, and get the contact details of any witnesses. Report the crash to your insurer but avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
How long do I have to file a claim in Florida?
For most car accident injury claims arising after March 24, 2023, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a lawsuit. It is best to act well before that deadline so evidence and witness memories stay fresh.
Florida is a no-fault state: can I still sue?
Yes. While Florida's no-fault PIP coverage handles initial medical bills, you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue the at-fault driver when your injuries are serious, such as permanent injury, significant scarring, or disfigurement.
What does a car accident lawyer cost?
Phillip works on a contingency-fee basis: no upfront cost and no fee unless he recovers compensation for you. The consultation is free.
