Should I File an Injury Claim? Knowing When a Car Accident Warrants Legal Action in a "No-Fault" State
Florida tries to temper the number of personal injury cases in the system by requiring all motorists to carry at least $10,000 in personal injury protection (PIP) insurance. With PIP, no matter who is at fault in a car accident, each driver's insurance company covers 80% of their own medical expenses and 60% of lost wages—but only up to $10,000.
When losses resulting from a car accident exceed $10,000, you have the right to take legal action against the negligent third party. If rebuilding your life after a car accident is going to require more than your insurance policy will cover, a car accident attorney with Moody Law in Lakeland is ready to help hold the other driver responsible for your losses.

Car Accident FAQ
In preparation for your consultation with a car accident lawyer, we have provided answers to common questions our clients ask:
Why do I need a car accident lawyer if Florida is a no-fault state?
If 80% of your medical expenses and 60% of your lost wages total more than $10,000, you have the right to take legal action in pursuit of compensation from the other driver. Don't make any assumptions when it comes to dealing with the aftermath of a car accident—call Moody Law to get a car accident lawyer's perspective on your case.
I think a little negligence of my own may have contributed to the accident. Should I just forget about legal action?
Not without consulting a lawyer about your car accident. Florida recognizes comparative negligence, which is the concept that restitution may be awarded to an injured party even if they were partly responsible for the car accident. If a jury determines that the other party's negligence was a bigger contributor to the car accident than your own negligence, you could still stand to collect. However, bear in mind that it will be less than if you shared no responsibility at all.
I walked away from this car accident feeling fine, and there is no way I'm going to need compensation beyond $10,000. Can I skip the doctor's exam?
There are two reasons why this is a bad idea: first, even if your injuries are minor, they must be documented by a medical professional within 14 days, or you will receive no compensation from your insurance policy. Second, serious injuries aren't always immediately apparent. Don't take chances or assume you walked away from the accident unscathed. Get a professional opinion.
I visited the ER right after my accident. Are their conclusions all the evidence I need?
No. The emergency room is there to make sure you don't have any serious immediate trauma requiring hospitalization. We cannot overstate that car accident injuries are notorious for taking time to reveal their true extent. Make an appointment with your general care provider as soon as possible so they can arrange for a more extensive assessment of the physical impact of your car accident.
