Personal Injury Attorney in Melbourne
If you were injured on I-95 or anywhere else in Melbourne, we can tell you what your claim is worth before you speak to an adjuster.
We represent injury victims throughout Melbourne — from collisions on I-95 and US-1 to crashes along US-192, Wickham Road, and Babcock Street.
We litigate these claims in the Brevard County courts and negotiate directly with the insurers handling them.
Insurance companies have full legal teams working against you from day one. My job is to make sure you’re not facing them alone.
We handle a variety of personal injury cases in Melbourne, including:
Send a requestCar Accidents
We represent drivers and passengers injured across Melbourne, pursuing full recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, and lasting harm.
Truck Accidents
Commercial truck crashes on I-95 cause catastrophic injuries. We investigate carrier and driver records to hold negligent operators accountable.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders hurt on US-1 or Wickham Road face serious injuries. We build claims that counter the bias insurers apply to motorcyclists.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians struck along US-192 often suffer life-altering harm. We identify every liable party and pursue full compensation.
Bicycle Accidents
Cyclists on Babcock Street and other routes are vulnerable to negligent drivers. We document fault and demand fair recovery for the injured.
Rear-End Collisions
Traffic on US-1 and the I-95 interchanges produces frequent rear-end crashes. We establish liability and pursue claims for resulting injuries.

Types of compensation you may be entitled to
Medical Expenses
The compensation is based on the actual cost of medical treatment. The value ranges from a few thousand dollars for minor injuries to hundreds of thousands for severe, long-term injuries requiring extensive treatment.
Medical expenses are usually challenging to prove, but issues likely arise if treatment was delayed or not well-documented.
Future Medical Care
Future Medical Needs compensation covers the anticipated cost of ongoing or long-term medical treatment required after a car accident. This includes expenses related to rehabilitation, surgeries, therapy, or lifetime care for permanent disabilities. Settlement values typically range from $50,000 to several million dollars, depending on the severity of the injuries and the expected duration of care.
This type of compensation carries a high level of risk, as it depends heavily on expert medical testimony to accurately forecast future health conditions and related expenses.
Loss of Earning Capacity
Loss of Earning Capacity refers to compensation for the reduced ability to earn income in the future due to accident-related injuries or disabilities. The amount is estimated based on projected lost wages over the person’s remaining working years and can vary from tens of thousands to several million dollars, depending on factors such as age, occupation, education, and injury severity.
Proving this type of loss is complex, requiring detailed evidence of prior earnings, career trajectory, and expert economic analysis to clearly link the injury to diminished earning potential.
Vehicle Damage
Vehicle Damage compensation covers the cost to repair or replace a vehicle damaged in a car accident. The claim may include the cost to restore the car to its pre-accident condition or the fair market value if it is declared a total loss. The settlement amount depends on the vehicle’s age, make, model, mileage, pre-accident condition, and repair costs. Minor damages usually cost $500–$5,000 to fix, while severe damage or total loss can range from $10,000 to $100,000 or more, especially for newer or luxury cars.
Insurance adjusters or auto appraisers typically determine the final amount. Proving vehicle damage is usually straightforward with photos and repair estimates, though disputes can arise over pre-existing issues, depreciation, or total loss valuation.
Physical Pain
Physical Pain compensation addresses the physical suffering and discomfort caused by injuries sustained in an accident. It includes both immediate pain following the crash and ongoing pain experienced during recovery. The value is often calculated using a multiplier method, where medical expenses and other quantifiable damages are multiplied by a factor—typically between 1.5 and 5—based on the severity and duration of the pain.
Pain and suffering damages are inherently subjective, requiring comprehensive medical documentation, doctor testimony, and sometimes personal pain journals. The challenge lies in proving the lasting impact of the pain, especially if visible injuries appear healed or documentation is incomplete.

The hiring of a lawyer is an important decision that should not be based solely upon advertisements. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome. Each case is different and must be evaluated on its own facts.
Frequently asked questions
Under Florida’s HB 837, enacted in 2023, you generally have two years from the date of injury to file a personal-injury lawsuit, reduced from the former four years. Missing this deadline typically bars recovery. Kremenchuker Law Group recommends contacting us early so we can preserve evidence from your Melbourne crash and protect your filing deadline.
Florida’s no-fault system requires you to seek medical treatment within 14 days of a crash to qualify for Personal Injury Protection benefits. Missing this window can forfeit your PIP coverage. Kremenchuker Law Group urges Melbourne clients to be evaluated promptly after any collision on I-95, US-1, or local roads.
No. Kremenchuker Law Group handles Melbourne personal-injury claims on contingency — there is no fee unless we win your case. This allows injured clients to pursue full compensation for crashes on US-192, Wickham Road, and other Brevard County roads without paying attorney fees out of pocket while the case is pending.
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault, and if you are found more than 50 percent responsible, the 51% bar prevents any recovery.
Kremenchuker Law Group represents victims of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, bicycle accidents, and rear-end collisions across Melbourne, including I-95, US-1, and US-192. We pursue full compensation for medical costs, lost income, and other damages caused by negligent drivers in Brevard County.
Personal injury lawyers in Melbourne and Brevard County
When a careless driver upends your life along the Space Coast, the Kremenchuker Law Group stands ready in Melbourne and across Brevard County. We handle every collision: the highway car accident on I-95, the freight truck accident on US-1, the pedestrian struck at a crosswalk, plus motorcycle, bicycle, and rear-end crashes. Florida’s insurance maze is unforgiving, and the clock starts ticking the moment metal meets metal. Let us shoulder the legal fight while you focus on healing.
Two Years to File: Why Hesitation Costs You
Florida slammed its courthouse doors faster in 2023. Under House Bill 837, the statute of limitations for most negligence-based injury claims dropped from four years to just two, codified at Fla. Stat. § 95.11. Miss that window and your right to compensation vanishes regardless of how badly you were hurt. Early legal action also lets us lock down vanishing proof: skid marks fade and witnesses along Wickham Road forget what they saw. The sooner we open your file, the sooner we dispatch investigators to photograph the scene and secure traffic-camera footage before it disappears.
Putting a Real Number on Your Losses
No two injuries carry the same price tag, and an honest valuation requires more than guessing. As your personal injury attorney, we tally economic damages (emergency bills, surgery, future therapy, lost wages, diminished earning capacity) alongside non-economic harm like chronic pain, scarring, and the activities you can no longer enjoy on Brevard’s beaches. We also coordinate the messy back end: hospital liens, health-insurer subrogation claims, and Medicare set-asides that can quietly devour a settlement. By negotiating those reimbursement demands down before disbursement, we protect the share of your recovery that reaches your pocket.
The PIP Puzzle and When It Breaks Open
Florida is a no-fault state, so your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays first regardless of blame. PIP provides up to $10,000, but only at 80% of reasonable medical costs and 60% of lost wages, and only if you seek treatment within 14 days of the crash under § 627.736. That money evaporates quickly. You may step outside the no-fault system and pursue the at-fault driver directly once you cross the statutory threshold, meaning a permanent injury, significant scarring, or other serious harm. Because Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist coverage is optional in Florida, we always check your declarations page for that critical safety net.
Shared Blame Under Florida’s Newer Rule
The 2023 reforms also rewrote how fault is split. Under § 768.81, Florida now follows modified comparative negligence: if you are found more than 50% responsible for your own injuries, you recover nothing at all. If your share is 50% or less, your award simply shrinks by your percentage of fault. Insurers exploit this aggressively, pinning blame on victims to escape paying. We counter by mapping every at-fault party, including the negligent driver, an employer whose worker was on the clock, or a government entity responsible for a hazardous Babcock Street intersection, then chasing each available policy to maximize your recovery.
Melbourne’s Most Dangerous Stretches of Road
Crashes in Melbourne cluster where traffic volume and driver impatience collide. Interstate 95 sees high-speed rear-end pileups and merging chaos, while US-1 along the Indian River Lagoon mixes commuters with distracted sightseers. US-192 funnels beach traffic across the Melbourne Causeway, and Wickham Road’s commercial sprawl breeds turning-lane and red-light wrecks. Babcock Street remains notorious for pedestrian and bicycle incidents near its older, narrower crossings. We pull Florida Department of Transportation crash statistics for these corridors and subpoena nearby footage, building a case that shows precisely how your collision happened.
Get Treated Fast and Document Everything
Your health and your claim both depend on prompt medical care. After a Melbourne crash, Health First Holmes Regional Medical Center provides the area’s trauma and emergency services, and we urge you to be evaluated even when you feel only sore or shaken. Adrenaline masks injuries; whiplash, concussions, and internal damage often surface days later. Remember Florida’s hard 14-day rule: if you wait longer than two weeks to begin treatment, your PIP benefits may be denied entirely. Consistent follow-up visits also build the medical record that proves the severity and causation of your injuries when the insurer disputes them.
Your First Moves and Our Promise
Right after a crash, do five things: call 911 and get a police report; photograph vehicles, injuries, and the scene; exchange insurance and contact details; gather witness names; and see a doctor within 14 days. Then call us before giving any recorded statement to an adjuster. You can pull your own report through the FLHSMV crash data portal, but you should not face the insurers alone. The Kremenchuker Law Group works on contingency, so there are no fees unless we win. Reach out today for a free consultation about your Brevard County case.
