Florida Law and Your Rights
Florida is a no-fault insurance state. After a crash, your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy is the first source of coverage for medical bills and lost wages. But PIP is capped at $10,000 and only pays 80% of medical expenses and 60% of lost income. If your injuries are classified as “serious” under Florida law, you can step outside the no-fault system and pursue the at-fault driver for full compensation.
The state follows a comparative negligence rule, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% responsible, your award is reduced by that amount. This makes careful investigation, photos, witness testimony, and crash reconstruction critical in building a strong case.
Florida’s statute of limitations for filing a car accident lawsuit is two years from the date of the crash. Missing this deadline can permanently bar your claim, so taking early legal action is essential.

- Investigating crashes to prove fault, even in complex multi-vehicle collisions
- Preserving evidence like dashcam video, 911 records, and cell phone data
