Florida is a No-Fault State
According to Florida Statute § 627.736, all drivers are required to maintain a type of car insurance coverage called personal injury protection insurance (PIP). This car insurance covers both the driver and their passengers if a car accident occurs. This type of insurance requires that the driver file their claims for medical bills, property losses, or lost wages with their own PIP.
Under the requirements of Florida law, each driver must maintain a minimum of $10,000 of PIP for personal injuries, along with an additional $10,000 in property damage liability (PDL). If a driver exhausts this amount of insurance coverage, then they may file a claim with the other driver’s insurance company to pursue the remaining damages.

PIP Claims
There are several deadlines associated with PIP claims that your lawyer can help you adhere to. First, you must file a police report immediately after your car accident. You must seek medical attention within 14 days from the date of the accident to preserve your right to compensation under your PIP. After all the documentation has been submitted, your insurance company has 30 days to accept or deny your claim.
Statute of Limitations
If you intend to file a personal injury lawsuit to pursue damages beyond what your PIP covers, Florida law requires that you make the claim within four years of the date of the accident. Some exceptions may change this deadline—and the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine can assist in this process.
