Ocala Auto Accident Lawyer
Auto accidents are a serious concern in Ocala, from backups on SR-200 and SR-40 to high-speed collisions on I-75 and the surrounding roads through Silver Springs and Belleview. Unlike larger metro areas, drivers here often face a mix of heavy commuter traffic and rural road hazards that increase the risk of serious wrecks. Victims are too often left with painful injuries, mounting expenses, and insurance carriers determined to pay as little as possible.
​
LK Law serves clients across Ocala and Marion County with a hands-on, thorough approach. Instead of letting insurance companies control the narrative, we work tirelessly to protect your rights and pursue the compensation you need to heal and move forward.
Local Knowledge That Matters
Ocala and the surrounding Marion County roadways see their share of serious accidents. According to FDOT crash data, high-risk areas include I-75, SR-200, and SR-40, as well as local roads through Silver Springs, Belleview, and Dunnellon. A mix of heavy commuter traffic, rural highways, and seasonal visitors adds to the dangers across the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a claim after an Ocala car accident?
For accidents that happened on or after March 24, 2023, Florida law gives you two years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. This change cut the old four-year deadline in half. If your accident happened before that date, the four-year time limit may still apply.
​
Because deadlines can be tricky, it’s always best to talk with an attorney right away so evidence and witness statements don’t get lost over time.
Do I need to go to court for an Ocala auto accident case?
Not always. Many Ocala auto accident claims are resolved through negotiations with the insurance company and never reach a courtroom. However, if the insurer refuses to make a fair offer, filing a lawsuit in the Fifth Judicial Circuit (Marion County) may be necessary.
​
Even when a lawsuit is filed, most cases still settle before trial. LK Law prepares every case as if it will go to trial so you’re in the strongest position whether it resolves at the negotiating table or in court.
How much does it cost to hire LK Law for an auto accident case?
There is no upfront cost to hire LK Law for an auto accident case. These cases are handled on a contingency fee basis, which means the attorney fee is a percentage of the recovery and is only collected if we obtain compensation for you.
The percentage and terms are explained in writing before representation begins, in compliance with Florida Bar rules on contingency fees. You’ll also receive a clear explanation of potential costs and expenses, such as medical record fees or expert witnesses, so there are no surprises.
