Injured in a Car Accident? Find Out How to Get Compensation in Florida

A Sudden Collision, and Now What?

You’re driving on I-95 during a sudden downpour. The traffic ahead slows unexpectedly, and before you can react, you’ve been rear-ended. At that moment, you're likely feeling shaken, sore, and uncertain about what happens next. The bills are starting to pile up, you’re missing work, and dealing with insurance feels confusing. At Zweben Law Group, we can help you through this difficult time and guide you on the path to securing the compensation you deserve in Florida.

Understanding Florida’s No-Fault System

In Florida, you don’t need to worry about who caused the accident right away. Thanks to the state’s no-fault system, your insurance will cover your immediate expenses through Personal Injury Protection (PIP). PIP helps with 80% of your medical bills and 60% of your lost wages, up to $10,000. But it’s important to act fast—you must see a doctor within 14 days to receive these benefits. Delaying could hurt your chances of getting the support you need.

Key Steps to Take After an Accident

Here’s what you should do immediately following a car accident:

1. Get medical attention—remember, you must do this within 14 days, but the sooner, the better.
2. Report the accident to the police.
3. Call your insurance company and start your claim.
4. Keep track of all your expenses related to the accident.
5. Gather evidence—take photos and get witness information, but avoid admitting fault.

When Can You Go Beyond PIP?

For more serious injuries, Florida law allows you to seek additional compensation from the at fault party. If you’ve experienced any of the following, you may be entitled to more than just PIP:

●?????? Permanent injury

●?????? Permanent loss of a bodily function

●?????? Significant scarring or disfigurement

●?????? Death

In these situations, you could recover damages for medical bills beyond PIP, lost income, and pain and suffering. It’s important to know that you only have two years to file a lawsuit, so time is of the essence.
