What Kind of Compensation Can You Anticipate Following a Car Accident?
Each car accident is distinct, and the compensation you might receive is contingent upon the particular circumstances surrounding your case.
In Florida, if your injuries are not classified as “severe,” you can file a personal injury protection (PIP) claim under the no-fault insurance model, allowing compensation for specific damages regardless of fault. However, PIP does not cover non-economic damages like pain and suffering, and benefits are limited to $2,500 unless your injury qualifies as an “emergency medical condition” (EMC). If your injury meets the serious injury threshold, you can file a claim against the other driver’s insurance or pursue a personal injury lawsuit. Consulting a Miami car accident attorney can help clarify your claim’s potential value and the types of compensation available for both financial and non-financial losses.
The 14-Day Rule: An Essential Consideration
In Florida, if you’re injured in a car accident due to a careless driver, it’s crucial to seek medical evaluation within 14 days to secure compensation. Failing to do so may result in your auto insurance provider denying your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) claim and complicating any future third-party injury claims. Additionally, a thorough investigation of the accident is essential to determine liability and the cause of the incident.
How Does No-Fault Insurance Function?
In Florida’s no-fault auto insurance system, drivers must have at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) and property damage liability (PDL) coverage. When injured due to another’s negligence, the first $10,000 in medical expenses and lost income is typically covered by PIP. However, victims can only access $2,500 unless they prove an emergency medical condition (EMC). If diagnosed with an EMC and adhering to the 14-day rule, victims can receive 80% of medical expenses up to $10,000 (maxing at $8,000) and up to 60% of lost wages, depending on policy limits.
