Florida’s modified comparative negligence law can significantly impact your personal injury claim by preventing you from recovering any compensation if you are more than 50 percent responsible for an accident.

Rental car reimbursement coverage is an inexpensive but valuable addition to any Florida auto insurance policy. It can take weeks, even months, for the at-fault party’s insurance company to accept liability, leaving you without a vehicle in the meantime. Your own coverage can also be crucial if the at-fault driver’s coverage limits are too low.

During jury selection, attorneys question potential jurors, ultimately excusing some using a challenge for cause and others using peremptory strikes.

If the at-fault driver lies to their insurance company about how the accident occurred, however, the claims process can quickly digress into a “he said, she [...]

Florida law requires drivers to report certain crashes, including those that involve injuries, fatalities, suspected DUI, or significant property damage. Drivers may exchange information and self-report a minor collision instead of waiting for law enforcement but protect yourself and your right to recover compensation by documenting vehicle damage, exchanging insurance information, and gathering witness information.
Do you know what your car insurance policy covers? Before you answer that with an enthusiastic “of course I do,” you may want to take out your declarations page and double check.
