Florida’s No-Fault Car Insurance Laws

Florida is one of a few states in the country that has “no-fault” car insurance rules. After almost any sort of car crash, the damages suffered by each driver are covered by his or her own insurance provider; this system is contrary to a liability-based insurance law system that requires drivers or their insurers to pay for portions of damages based on an equivalent percentage of established liability.

The no-fault insurance rules of Florida are meant, in part, to keep lawsuits for minor injury claims out of the court system. If you are struck by an uninsured or underinsured motorist in Florida, your own insurance coverage should take care of your damages by “standing in the shoes” of the at-fault driver.

However, UM coverage is not required under Florida law, so it must have been purchased and in place at the time of an accident. Sometimes people who believe they have “full coverage” are surprised to learn that they do not carry UM insurance.

When Your Insurance Coverage Is Not Enough

All insurance policies have limits, or caps. If you are hit by an uninsured motorist, or someone who leaves the scene of the crash before identifying information can be exchanged, there is no guarantee your own insurance will cover all of your damages, and you could be left with financial struggles as a result.

Consulting an experienced attorney can often help confirm potential avenues of recovery for your damages. Most uninsured motorist accident lawyers do not charge a fee for a consultation.

In car accident cases, damages are routinely sought for:

• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation costs
• Damage to personal property
• Lost wages
