Navigating these tricky roads after an accident can be tough.

In car accident cases, Florida follows a “no-fault” system. This means that after most traffic accidents, an injured person's own insurance company will provide compensation for medical expenses and lost income, no matter who was at fault for the accident.  It is important to note that an injured driver or passenger will not receive compensation for vehicle damage or pain and suffering under this no-fault system.

However, you may be able to step outside of the no-fault system and file a liability claim against an at-fault driver directly if:

• injuries resulting from the accident are considered “permanent”
• significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement occurs; or
• significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function results from the crash
