Florida No Fault Insurance Information from Our Broward County Lawyer
Using Personal Injury Protection Insurance in Florida
After a car accident, especially one that involves any serious injury or damage to the vehicle, the first question is almost always: How am I going to pay for all this? Medical care costs money, repairing the car costs money, and being off work to receive medical care can cost money.
Florida's no-fault insurance law requires drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, which covers the first $10,000 worth of unpaid medical expenses and lost wages. In other words, if you are in a car accident that you did not cause, and if your car insurance is current, then you can claim reimbursement for the first $10,000 of medical bills and lost income via your own insurance policy.
Bradley S. Hartman: Car Accident Attorney in Broward County, Florida
Part of my job as your personal injury lawyer is to get you the maximum amount of compensation as quickly as I can without sacrificing the quality of your case. One of my first steps on behalf of every client who was injured in a car accident is to work with their insurance coverage to make a claim under the no-fault insurance they are required to have under Florida law.
To recover damages for your pain and suffering, disability and any expenses that are not covered by PIP, I will investigate and pursue other sources of financial compensation, including any coverage carried by the at-fault driver or other parties who may be liable for your injuries, such as an employer, or uninsured motorist coverage (UIM).
