As you move through the claims process, several personal injury laws could have an influence on the outcome of your case. Some of the most notable statutes you need to be aware of include:
Florida follows no-fault insurance laws. After an accident, you can file a claim with your personal insurer to recoup a portion of your damages as described under Florida Statutes 627.7407.
The defendant might accuse you of being partially responsible for causing the accident. If this happens, the state’s modified comparative negligence statute under Florida Statutes 768.81 will apply. Here, you can be up to 50% responsible for causing the accident and still receive a settlement.
However, you will not receive the full value of your award. Instead, your percentage of liability will be deducted. If your portion of blame is greater than 50%, you lose your right to receive compensation for your damages.
You must file your personal injury lawsuit before the two-year statute of limitations runs out per Florida Statutes 95.11(5), otherwise you will likely be prohibited from pursuing your case in court.
