I had a car incident in which Progressive insurance company was reluctant to pay the money for the damages, was giving unrealistic estimates, and was trying to prolong my case. At first I was hesitant, but then I reached out to the law firm to try to change the outcome of the case and it was one of the best decisions I made. My lawyer, Oliver, was one of the nicest and cooperative people I have ever worked with. He always answered the calls immediately, explained everything thoroughly, and was very initiative in trying to solve the problem as soon as possible. Thanks to him we were able to solve everything in about a week and increase payment from insurance company by more than 10%. I recommend this law firm to everyone who wants to get what they are owed quickly.
Florida’s No-Fault Insurance Laws
Florida operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning that drivers must first turn to their own insurance policies for compensation after an accident, regardless of who is at fault. This Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage is mandatory and includes:
- Medical Expenses up to $10,000 for accident-related injuries
- Lost Wages due to time away from work after an accident
- Death Benefits for fatal accidents
While PIP aims to streamline the claims process, it often leads to confusion about coverage limits and the ability to file third-party claims for additional damages.
Common Challenges in Florida’s Insurance Landscape
Florida’s high accident rate and intricate regulations make it one of the most challenging states for insurance claims. According to the Insurance Research Council, Florida drivers face:
- Increased Claim Denials with higher-than-average rates compared to other states
- Disputes Over Coverage due to complex policy terms
- Underpayment of Claims leading to financial burdens for accident victims
Key Aspects of Florida’s Insurance Regulations
Mandatory Coverage
Drivers must carry a minimum of $10,000 in PIP coverage and $10,000 in property damage liability (PDL).
Appraisal Clauses
Many policies include clauses allowing for independent appraisals, which can be critical in disputes over vehicle value.
Statute of Limitations
Florida’s laws require claims to be filed within four years of the accident date, or within two years for wrongful death claims.
