How to Claim Bodily Injury From a Car Accident
In Florida, drivers are required to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, which provides up to $10,000 in medical benefits regardless of fault under Florida’s no-fault insurance system. According to Florida Statute §627.736, injured individuals must seek medical treatment within 14 days of the accident to qualify for PIP benefits.
Bodily injury claims beyond PIP may be pursued when injuries meet Florida’s “serious injury threshold,” which can include permanent injury, significant loss of bodily function, or significant scarring. In those cases, a liability claim may be filed against the at-fault driver. Personal injury law resources from firms such as Morgan & Morgan and Anidjar & Levine explain that compensation may include medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering when injuries meet this threshold.
