How does personal injury work in Florida?

In Florida, an individual or injured party can use a personal injury lawsuit to demand that a responsible party be held accountable for their losses. This usually comes in the form of monetary compensation. In Florida auto accidents can be a bit tricky, in the event of an accident Florida has a no fault insurance system. This means after an accident an individual must use their own insurance to cover their lost wages and medical expenses.

However, if the injuries sustained meet Florida’s serious injury requirements, you can file a lawsuit against the responsible party. This threshold is crossed when the injury is permanent, causes death, or results in a loss or significant impairment of a bodily function. Generally in Florida, when we talk about personal injury the cases often involve a form of auto accident. A personal injury lawsuit can be pursued for many reasons, if you have any questions do not hesitate to call Compton and Smith, PA to see how we can seek restitution for your injury.
