Understanding Florida Car Accident Law
No-Fault Insurance System
Florida requires Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance covering 80% of medical bills and 60% of lost wages up to policy limits.
However, you can still sue for damages beyond PIP if you meet the "serious injury" threshold.
Serious Injury Threshold
To pursue a claim beyond PIP, you must have:
- • Significant and permanent loss of important bodily function
- • Permanent injury (other than scarring/disfigurement)
- • Significant and permanent scarring/disfigurement
- • Death
Statute of Limitations
You have 4 years from the accident date to file a personal injury lawsuit in Florida. Don't wait - evidence can disappear and witnesses' memories fade.
Comparative Negligence
Florida follows pure comparative negligence. Even if you're partially at fault, you can still recover damages reduced by your percentage of fault.
What to Do After a Car Accident in Florida
Immediate Steps
- Check for injuries and call 911 if needed
- Move to safety if possible

- Keep detailed records of all expenses
- Follow all medical treatment recommendations
