The opportunity in Florida
Why Florida is a structural market for MVA lead generation
Florida reports approximately 395,000 traffic crashes per year, with 3,374 fatalities and 252,000 injured claimants. Population of 22.6M residents drives a sustained base of personal injury claims, particularly concentrated in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale metro which accounts for roughly 26% of statewide MVA volume.
Florida's no-fault framework and modified comparative — 51% bar rule create a specific lead-qualification profile — different from neighboring states and different from how generic MVA lead vendors price and screen. That state-level specificity is the reason Floridafirms shouldn't buy from national vendors who treat every state the same.
Liability framework
How Florida liability works (and why it matters at intake)
Liability system
No-fault
Comparative negligence
Modified comparative — 51% bar
PIP required
Yes — $10,000 minimum
Mandatory liability minimums
10/20/10
(BI per person / BI per accident / property damage, in thousands)
Florida is a true no-fault state with mandatory $10,000 PIP. The serious-injury threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, or significant/permanent loss of an important bodily function) controls when a claimant can step outside PIP and pursue the at-fault driver.
Florida shifted from pure to modified-51% comparative negligence under SB 236 (March 2023). Claimants more than 50% at fault recover nothing — a major case-value filter that didn't exist before.
Statute of limitations
How long Florida claimants have to file
Personal injury SOL
2 years
Property damage SOL
4 years
The Florida personal injury SOL is 2 years from the date of the accident. For lead-aging math: a qualified MVA lead should typically be in active intake within 30–60 days of the accident date to leave sufficient runway for medical treatment documentation, demand letter preparation, and filing — especially in states with a 2-year SOL where the case-management margin compresses fast.

Qualified MVA lead criteria
What "qualified" means in Florida
A Florida qualified MVA lead is one we'd sign at our own firm. The criteria below are state-specific — they account for Florida's no-fault framework, the modified comparative — 51% bar bar, and the 2-year personal injury SOL.
- Accident date within 60 days (leaves runway under Florida's 2-year SOL).
- Police report filed in Florida jurisdiction — accident occurred in-state, report number on hand.
- Claimant 50% or less at fault under Florida's 51% bar.
- PIP coverage status confirmed — Florida requires $10,000 minimum.
- Active medical treatment underway or completed; treatment provider documented.
- No prior attorney representation; signed conflict-check release at intake.
- TCPA consent records: IP, timestamp, user agent, consent language captured.

Florida MVA leads · FAQ
Questions Florida firms ask before buying MVA leads
What changed about Florida MVA cases after the 2023 tort reform (SB 236)?
Two things: the personal injury statute of limitations dropped from 4 years to 2 years (so leads expire faster), and comparative negligence shifted from pure to modified-51% (claimants more than 50% at fault recover nothing). Lead criteria now have to filter on apparent fault percentage before delivery, not just liability presence.
Do I need to screen for the Florida 'serious injury threshold' before buying a lead?
Yes. Florida no-fault confines most claimants to PIP recovery unless they meet the serious-injury threshold (permanent injury, significant scarring, or significant/permanent loss of an important bodily function). A qualified MVA lead in Florida should carry initial injury documentation that supports threshold crossing, not just PIP-grade soft tissue.
What is a typical CPL for Florida live-transfer MVA leads in 2026?
Florida live-transfer MVA leads range $300–500 CPL depending on metro saturation. Miami–Fort Lauderdale runs at the top of the band due to volume + bilingual intake premium. Statewide qualified-form CPL averages $125–225.
How much should a signed retainer cost in Florida?
Florida CPSR (cost per signed retainer) typically runs $1,800–3,200 inclusive of media + intake + signed-retainer attribution loss. The variance is driven by liability complexity (uninsured-motorist heavy metros raise CPSR), not media cost.
What's the Florida statute of limitations on a motor vehicle accident lead?
Two years from the date of the accident for personal injury (post-SB 236, accidents on or after March 24, 2023). Property damage is 4 years. Older leads are still buyable but the SOL math has to work for signed-retainer conversion within the firm's pipeline.
Are TCPA + DPPA compliance requirements different for Florida MVA lead vendors?
TCPA is federal, so no. DPPA is also federal but Florida adds the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA) for breach disclosure, plus Florida Bar Rule 4-7 governs how the firm itself can use the lead in solicitation (no in-person or live-telephone solicitation within 30 days of the accident).
