What Is Personal Injury Protection insurance?
First, if you have been injured in a car accident, you may be eligible to file a claim against your Personal Injury Protection insurance. In fact, Florida is one of the US states that requires all drivers to have no-fault insurance coverage. This means that if you are injured in a car accident and receive medical treatment, you can recoup a portion of the expenses.
You can receive up to 60% of lost wages and up to 80% of medical bills. And, it is important to note that you must seek medical treatment within 14 days of the accident in order to utilize this insurance. Because if you do not receive medical care within the 14-day timeframe, you won’t be eligible to file a Personal Injury Protection claim.
So, speak to our team today if you would like to learn more about Personal Injury Protection insurance and how you can apply for it.
How Can You Pursue a Claim Against the At-Fault Party?
Under Florida’s statute of limitations, you have four years in which to pursue a claim against the at-fault driver.
Compensation may be sought if you have sustained serious injury as a result of the car accident, which is defined in law as:
- Significant and permanent loss of important body function
- Permanent disability or impairment
- Permanent and significant scarring or disfigurement
- Death
In the case of the latter, you may bring a claim of wrongful death against the at-fault driver.
The plaintiff may seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages. Examples of economic damages include medical expenses, lost wages, personal care costs, and related travel expenses.
Examples of non-economic damages include physical pain, emotional stress, debilitating and permanent injuries, and decreased quality of life.
