What Florida law changes about a car accident claim
These are the rules that alter the outcome of this specific claim type. Florida's full set of rules is on the Florida page.
- Comparative fault
- modified-comparative-50. Recovery is barred once your own fault exceeds 50%.
- No-fault status: no-fault
- $10,000 in personal injury protection, which pays 80% of reasonable medical expenses and 60% of lost wages. Treatment must begin within 14 days of the crash, and the full $10,000 is only available if a medical provider certifies an emergency medical condition — otherwise the benefit is limited to $2,500.
- Minimum auto liability
- $0 per person and $0 per accident, plus $10,000 property damage. A claim above the at-fault driver's limits depends on other coverage.
