How Do Florida No-Fault Laws Impact Personal Injury?

In the state of Florida, there is a no-fault liability for minor auto accidents. Insurance carriers are responsible for damages regardless of which driver was at fault, but there can be additional compensation in the case of negligence.

It’s important to note that no-fault does not negatively impact personal injury cases where severe or critical injuries were sustained. A driver affected by permanent injury can bring a personal injury case against the other driver. In wrongful death cases, the victim’s legal representative can initiate a personal injury case.
