Hit on College Road, rear-ended near an I-75 exit or hurt on Silver Springs Boulevard? Tomas Robirosa helps injured people and families in Ocala stand up to the insurance companies, and you can talk with him directly in Spanish or English.
If you are looking for an Ocala car accident lawyer who speaks your language, this page is a good place to start. It explains, in plain words, how crash and injury claims generally work in Marion County and what you can do today to protect your claim. It is general information, not legal advice; every case is different.
Ocala is the county seat of Marion County. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the city had 71,753 residents in July 2025, up from 63,591 at the 2020 Census. About 17.8% of residents are Hispanic, and close to one in five people speak a language other than English at home.
The city grew up around Fort King, an Army post built in 1827, and was incorporated as a city in 1885. Today Ocala calls itself the "Horse Capital of the World," with more than 400 thoroughbred farms and training centers in the area, and the World Equestrian Center draws riders and visitors from far away.
Tomas Robirosa handles car accident claims for people hurt in and around Ocala: rear-end crashes at busy lights, left-turn and T-bone crashes, sideswipes on I-75, hit-and-runs, and crashes with drivers who carry little or no insurance. You can meet with him by phone, by video or in person.
Most traffic in Ocala moves on a handful of major roads. If you live or work here, you probably use several of them every week:
Which agency writes the crash report depends on where it happened. Inside city limits, the Ocala Police Department usually responds. The Marion County Sheriff's Office patrols Marion County, about 1,652 square miles, including the areas outside city limits. The Florida Highway Patrol investigates crashes on interstates such as I-75 and in unincorporated areas.
The Ocala Police Department says crash reports are confidential for the first 60 days, except for the people involved, their legal representatives and a few others, who must sign an affidavit to get a copy. Write down the officer's name and the report number at the scene, because you will need them later.
Not every injury happens in a car. Tomas Robirosa also helps Ocala residents and visitors with other personal injury claims, including:
In each case, the questions are similar: who caused the harm, which insurance applies and what the injury will cost you over time. Clear answers early help you avoid mistakes.
Florida is a no-fault state. Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage generally pays part of your medical bills and lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash, up to your policy limit. In a serious crash, that money runs out quickly.
When the injuries are significant, you may be able to make a claim against the at-fault driver for what PIP doesn't pay, such as remaining medical bills, future care, lost earning ability and pain and suffering. If that driver has little or no bodily injury coverage, your uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM) coverage may help, if you bought it. Commercial trucks, company vehicles and rideshare trips can add other policies.
Florida uses a modified comparative negligence rule. In general, if you are found more than 50% at fault, you can't recover damages from the other driver; at 50% or less, your recovery is reduced by your share of the fault. Expect the insurer to look for ways to blame you.
For most negligence claims in Florida, the deadline to file a lawsuit is generally two years from the date of the crash. Every case is different, so speak with an attorney to confirm the deadline that applies to you.
Marion County is part of Florida's Fifth Judicial Circuit, along with Citrus, Hernando, Lake and Sumter counties. If a lawsuit is needed for a crash in Ocala, it is usually filed in Marion County. The Fifth Circuit lists the Marion County Judicial Center at 110 NW First Avenue in Ocala. Most injury claims settle without a trial, but preparing every case as if it may go to court puts you in a stronger position.
Many Hispanic families in Marion County would rather talk about something this important in Spanish. You shouldn't have to explain your pain through an interpreter or sign papers you don't fully understand. Tomas Robirosa speaks Spanish and English, and you can talk with him directly about your case, your treatment and every offer from the insurance company. This page is also available in Spanish.
We work on a contingency basis: no fee unless we recover. Tomas Robirosa serves Ocala and all of Marion County. Call (305) 600-0529.
