Here are some of the services we offer interstate accident victims:
- Investigating the cause of your crash
- Identifying the liable party or parties
- Pursuing the at-fault party for appropriate compensation

- Taking your case to court, if necessary
- Handling all case-related communication
We hope you’ll allow us to take some of the burden off of your shoulders. We’re here to advocate for you, so you can focus on your priorities.
Legal Options For Serious Injuries In An Interstate Crash
Florida law requires drivers to carry no-fault insurance and turn to their personal injury protection (PIP) policy first. When injuries are not serious, this policy covers a portion of basic damages, including medical bills and lost income.
With serious injuries and those requiring extended time away from regular activities, this is not enough coverage. Some with serious injuries can pursue a case against the liable party to recover additional damages. When our lawyers believe this is possible, we can:
- File a claim based on the at-fault driver’s auto liability policy
- Sue the at-fault driver in an Escambia County civil court

Holding The At-Fault Driver Accountable In A Pensacola I-10 Car Accident
At the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine, our attorneys investigate interstate accidents all the time. We know what it takes to convince an insurance carrier or jury of negligence and liability. We take evidence of a careless or reckless driver and use it to support your claim or lawsuit, improving the chances of recovering fair compensation.
Damages Recoverable In A Liability Claim Or Lawsuit
When we pursue fault-based damages, they cover a much wider scope than those available through your no-fault insurer. We know how to document these expenses and losses and value your non-economic damages. An insurance settlement or court award could compensate you for:
- Medical bills, current and future
- Ongoing care and support expenses
- Miscellaneous expenses with receipts
- Property damages, including the crashed vehicle
- Income losses
- Reduced ability to work and earn a living
- Pain and suffering
Wrongful Death In A Pensacola Interstate Collision
Unfortunately, interstate collisions sometimes result in fatal injuries. When a person passes away after a serious accident, that party’s personal representative can pursue a wrongful death action.
The personal representative, usually the executor of the victim’s will, works with our attorney on behalf of surviving family members. They could recover compensation for lost income, loss of services, final expenses, and their own personal losses.
Deadlines Apply, So Act Quickly When Your Injuries Allow
Florida, like most states, has statutes of limitations that set deadlines for suing in a traffic accident case. Florida’s deadlines include:
- A two-year period for personal injuries, per HB 837/SB236
- Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d) provides two years for wrongful death actions
There are numerous reasons why you should not wait to contact us. Exceptions exist, and the deadline in your case could come sooner. In addition, we need to preserve evidence and protect your rights as early as possible after a crash. We recommend calling us as soon as your injuries let you make the call.
Many Crash Victims Suffer Serious Injuries On I-10 Near Pensacola
I-10 is a major east-west interstate in the United States, linking many cities from Santa Monica, CA, to Jacksonville, FL. In Florida, I-10 enters the state just northwest of Pensacola and stretches for over 360 miles. The junctions in Escambia County include:
- US 90 Alt.
- SR 297, known as Pine Forest Road
- US 29
- I-110 to downtown Pensacola
- SR 291, or Davis Highway
- US 90
- Escambia Bay Bridge
Almost any of these could be the site of a serious crash, with cars entering and exiting traffic. Collisions also occur in other areas along the interstate, especially when distracted, drunk, or drugged drivers are behind the wheel. Unfortunately, interstate crashes often lead to severe and catastrophic injuries.
The Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) reported that Escambia County had 6,373 crashes with 4,539 injuries and 58 fatalities in 2022. I-10 and the other interstates in the area are more likely to host serious crashes due to high-speed collisions and traffic congestion.
