How will Florida’s No-Fault Law affect my injury case?
Florida’s No-Fault Law can affect how medical bills, lost wages, and other damages are handled after a car accident. While your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays for certain expenses regardless of who caused the crash, there are important exceptions that may allow you to pursue compensation from the at-fault driver. Understanding how these rules apply to your case is essential to protecting your rights. Learn how Florida’s No-Fault Law could impact your injury claim below.
All Drivers Can Have Injuries Regardless of Fault.
You Have Only 14-Days After Your Accident to Preserve Benefits.
Under Florida’s “no fault” law, even if you received a traffic citation after your accident occurred, this does not mean you are guilty. Nor does it mean you’re at fault or ineligible for certain benefits under the law. In fact, Florida’s unique laws enable us to assist almost anyone who has been recently injured as a result of a traffic crash.
If you have recently been in an auto accident, you may not feel the full extent of your injuries until weeks later. Thus, if you even think you have injuries, we’ll immediately begin to help you preserve your benefits under Florida law.
Florida’s No-Fault vs. Comparative Fault Laws
“NO-FAULT” defined. Regardless of how your crash occurred. Florida No-fault law will cover even passengers after an accident. Also, it covers your lost wages and medical bills up to $10,000. In fact, a recent change to Florida law now requires that you seek a qualified medical professional within 14-days of your accident. This is to preserve your Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) benefits. Especially, if you think you have injuries as a result of your traffic crash.
“COMPARATIVE FAULT” defined. This is a method used to determine monetary recovery to drivers and passengers involved in motor vehicle accidents. Moreover, Florida drivers can take partial responsibility for causing a traffic crash. Thus, it’s possible each driver involved in or caused a collision receives some degree of “fault”.

Determining “Fault” or “Liability”
This Can Be Difficult, Complex, and Very Expensive.
Because insurance liability adjusters typically determine who caused a traffic crash. Afterward, they approve payment for claims. Thus, if an adjuster believes that you may be partially at fault, the insurance company might delay payment of claims. Incidentally, specialists will conduct additional investigations. (e.g., sworn affidavits, formal depositions, evidentiary hearings, etc.)
Unfortunately, investigations and legal proceedings delay payment of claims. As a result, it could take several months for you to receive the money you need. Oftentimes, we can speed up this process and get you the money you need much faster.
