Florida PIP Insurance Rules

Florida is a “no-fault” insurance state, which means that after a car accident, your own insurance company typically covers your initial medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of who caused the crash. This coverage comes from your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) policy, which is required for all registered drivers in Florida.

However, PIP benefits are limited, and might only cover:

• Up to 80% of reasonable medical expenses, capped at $10,000
• Up to 60% of lost income, also subject to the policy’s limit
• Certain replacement services and death benefits

While this system allows for quick payment of smaller claims, it can leave seriously injured accident victims without full compensation for their losses. To step outside Florida’s no-fault system and file a claim against the at-fault driver, your injuries must meet the “serious injury threshold.”

A “serious injury” is generally considered one that causes:

• Significant and permanent loss of an important bodily function
• Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability
• Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Death

If your injuries qualify, you may bring a personal injury claim for additional compensation beyond what PIP covers. Our attorneys can review your case and determine whether you meet this threshold, then handle every step after.

Compensation in a Personal Injury Claim

If your injuries allow you to pursue a claim beyond PIP coverage, you may be entitled to compensation for a wide range of losses.

Every case is different, but damages in a personal injury claim may include:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Rehabilitation and therapy costs
• Lost income and reduced earning capacity
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Property damage
• Loss of enjoyment of life

At The Florida Law Group, we often work with financial and medical experts to carefully calculate the full value of a client’s case. Our goal is to recover compensation that accounts for not only your short-term expenses but also the long-term consequences of your injuries.

Trial Representation for Difficult Personal Injury Claims

While many successful personal injury cases can be resolved through settlements, some require aggressive trial representation to achieve justice. The Florida Law Group has the skill and experience to take cases to court when necessary. Founding Attorney Chris Limberopoulos is Board Certified in Civil Trial Law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy, an achievement held by only a small percentage of attorneys nationwide. Our trial experience allows us to negotiate from a position of strength and to present compelling cases before a jury when insurance companies refuse to act fairly.

Wesley Chapel Personal Injury FAQ

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Florida? 
Most personal injury claims in Florida must be filed within two years of the date of the accident, as set by the state’s statute of limitations. However, certain circumstances, such as cases involving government entities or wrongful death, can alter this deadline significantly. It’s always recommended that you speak with an attorney as soon as possible to reduce your risk of letting the statute of limitations expire.

What if I was partially at fault for my accident? 
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible for the accident, so long as you were less than 51% at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced in proportion to your percentage of fault.

Do I need a lawyer if my injuries seem minor? 
Even if your injuries seem minor, you should consult a lawyer. Some injuries, like soft tissue damage or concussions, may not show symptoms immediately. Insurance companies often pressure accident victims to accept quick settlements before they understand the full extent of their injuries, so be mindful and talk to a personal injury attorney as soon as you can.

How much does it cost to hire The Florida Law Group? 
We represent personal injury clients on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no upfront costs and no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. This system allows injury victims to get experienced legal help without adding financial stress during an already difficult time.
