“NO-FAULT” defined. Regardless of how your crash occurred. Florida No-fault law will cover even passengers after an accident. Also, it covers your lost wages and medical bills up to $10,000. In fact, a recent change to Florida law now requires that you seek a qualified medical professional within 14-days of your accident. This is to preserve your Personal Injury Protection (“PIP”) benefits. Especially, if you think you have injuries as a result of your traffic crash.
“COMPARATIVE FAULT” defined. This is a method used to determine monetary recovery to drivers and passengers involved in motor vehicle accidents. Moreover, Florida drivers can take partial responsibility for causing a traffic crash. Thus, it’s possible each driver involved in or caused a collision receives some degree of “fault”.

Because insurance liability adjusters typically determine who caused a traffic crash. Afterward, they approve payment for claims. Thus, if an adjuster believes that you may be partially at fault, the insurance company might delay payment of claims. Incidentally, specialists will conduct additional investigations. (e.g. sworn affidavits, formal depositions, evidentiary hearings, etc.)
Unfortunately, investigations and legal proceedings delay payment of claims. As a result, it could take several months for you to receive the money you need. Often times we can speed up this process and get you the money you need much faster.
