I got in an accident in Miami, Florida.
What now?
If you were involved in a car accident in Miami and were not at fault, Florida law provides a structured path to seek compensation for your injuries and damages. Florida is a "no-fault" insurance state, meaning that regardless of who caused the accident, you can initially file a claim through your own insurance (Personal Injury Protection or PIP coverage) for medical expenses, lost wages, and other essential costs related to your injuries. However, for more severe injuries that meet Florida’s "serious injury" threshold under Florida Statutes §627.737, you may have the option to pursue additional compensation from the at-fault driver’s insurance for pain and suffering and other non-economic damages.
Florida’s “pure comparative negligence” rule (Florida Statutes §768.81) allows you to seek compensation even if the at-fault party’s insurer attempts to assign some degree of blame to you. Under this rule, you may still recover damages proportional to the other party’s responsibility, even if you were partially at fault. In cases where the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, Florida law requires all drivers to have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage as optional, though it is highly recommended, as it can help protect you if the at-fault driver’s insurance coverage is insufficient to cover your losses.
Navigating Florida’s insurance and legal landscape after a car accident can be complex. Consulting with an experienced car accident attorney familiar with Florida laws is highly recommended to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. An attorney can assist in gathering evidence, negotiating with insurers, and building a strong case to advocate for your interests. Florida’s statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is two years as of recent changes (Florida Statutes §95.11), so it’s important to act quickly to protect your rights. By working with knowledgeable legal professionals, you can focus on your recovery, confident that your financial interests and rights are being safeguarded.
