Where Fort Myers crashes concentrate
Most Fort Myers inquiries we review involve the US-41 corridor, Colonial Boulevard, Daniels Parkway, or one of the Interstate 75 interchanges that feed them. Those roads mix local traffic with people passing through on their way to Cape Coral, Bonita Springs or the beaches.
Downtown near the River District adds pedestrians, cyclists and delivery vehicles to intersections that were not designed for today's volumes.
After a crash in the city
Call law enforcement and get the report number, since the Fort Myers Police Department or Lee County Sheriff's Office report is the document insurers use to establish the basic facts. Photograph the vehicles and the intersection before anything is moved further.
Then notify your own insurer. You are generally not required to give a recorded statement to the other driver's carrier, and it is reasonable to ask for questions in writing instead.
- Get medical care and document every provider you see
- Obtain the crash report number and investigating agency
- Photograph vehicles, road, signage and injuries
- Collect witness names and phone numbers at the scene
- Keep all bills, work notes and correspondence in one file
Lee County deadlines and court
Lee County is in Florida's Twentieth Judicial Circuit, so a lawsuit from a Fort Myers crash would generally be filed there. Most Florida negligence claims carry a four-year statute of limitations, with shorter periods for wrongful death and for claims against a government vehicle.
Florida's modified comparative fault rule can reduce recovery by your assigned share of responsibility and bars recovery at 51 percent or more.
