Important Facts About Florida Law

You should know after being injured in a car accident:

1. Florida is a No-Fault State

Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance typically pays for your initial medical expenses and lost wages regardless of who caused the accident.

2. You have 14 days to receive medical treatment for car accident-related injuries

Under Florida’s PIP law, you generally must receive medical treatment within 14 days of the accident to qualify for PIP benefits. Waiting too long can result in losing access to coverage for medical expenses.

3. PIP commonly covers the driver and anyone injured in the accident.

PIP commonly covers policy limits typically up to $10,000.

4. An Emergency Medical Condition (EMC) Matters

To access the full $10,000 in PIP benefits, a qualified medical provider must determine that you suffered an “Emergency Medical Condition.” Without an EMC diagnosis, benefits may be limited to $2,500.

5. You May Still Have Injuries Even Without Immediate Pain

Florida accident claims are often affected by delayed symptoms. Neck pain, back pain, headaches, whiplash, and soft tissue injuries can appear hours or even days later. Prompt evaluation helps protect both your health and your legal claim.

6. Florida Uses Modified Comparative Negligence

Since March 2023, Florida has followed a modified comparative negligence standard with a 51% bar. You can still recover compensation for your injuries as long as you are found 50% or less at fault for the accident, though your recovery will be reduced by your percentage of fault. If you are found more than 50% at fault, you are barred from recovering damages. This makes it important to document the accident and your injuries thoroughly from the start.

7. The Statute of Limitations is Generally 2 Years

For most car accident injury claims in Florida, you generally have two years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing the deadline can prevent you from recovering compensation.

8. If injured in an accident, you can choose your own medical care, doctors and offices.

Attorneys, friends, and colleagues can not force you to choose any specific medical provider. Those suffering from car -related accident injuries should choose a medical care facility or professional that is safe, knowledgeable and able to provide the care needed.

9. Monitor youth care when injured in a car accident

Get your entire family checked by a medical professional. Children are also vulnerable during car accidents.
