Understanding Auto Accidents and Florida Law
What are Auto Accidents?
Auto accidents are not just collisions involving cars. They encompass a broad spectrum of vehicular incidents, such as collisions involving trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians, and other types of motor vehicles. These accidents often result in personal injury or property damage. However, understanding how these accidents relate to Florida law is crucial in protecting your rights and securing your deserved compensation.
Florida is a “no-fault” state, which fundamentally influences how auto accident claims are handled. The no-fault system means that regardless of who caused the accident, each party’s own insurance company covers their initial medical bills and other out-of-pocket losses up to the Personal Injury Protection (PIP) limit. However, this doesn’t necessarily prevent a victim from pursuing a lawsuit against an at-fault driver, especially if the injuries are severe, leading to “significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function,” permanent injury, or significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement.
Why You Need an Experienced Auto Accident Attorney in Florida
While it may seem straightforward to file a claim with your insurance
company post-accident, the reality can often be far more complex. Insurance companies, even your own, are primarily focused on their bottom line, not your best interests. They may quickly offer a settlement that might seem fair but often falls short of covering all your accident- related expenses. This is where the value of an experienced auto accident attorney becomes apparent.
