Below are some significant laws:

  • Florida is a no-fault insurance state;
  • Florida also uses the comparative fault model for determining accident responsibility and reimbursement. Pure comparative fault allows those who have been in a car accident and suffered accident damages compensation by percentage of attributed fault. The actual percentage of compensation you may receive is limited by the degree to which you and the other party have had in causing the accident;
  • The statute of limitations, or deadline, for filing a claim regarding an auto accident is four years. The statute of limitations for seeking medical attention, however, is only fourteen days;
  • Drivers involved in car collisions are required by law to report the accidents to authorities if damages exceed $500.

There are additional laws that can impact your claim; therefore, it is important to consult with an attorney to make sure your rights are protected and you receive the compensation you deserve.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
