Car Accidents
Navigating the aftermath of a car accident involves understanding your rights and the complexities of insurance and recovery. At Alex's Law Firm, we're committed to helping you through every step of this process, ensuring you receive the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Your Insurance Rights in Car Wrecks
When involved in a car accident, knowing your insurance rights is crucial. In Florida, liability insurance is mandatory and covers bodily injury and property damage. It's important to have adequate coverage, as this is your primary defense in an accident. Florida operates under a "no-fault" insurance system, meaning your insurance is supposed to cover personal injury protection (PIP) up to $10,000, but it's vital to understand the limitations and ensure you're fully covered for any excess through other legal means.
Key Points:
Minimum coverage in Florida includes $10,000 for personal injury and $10,000 for property damage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is crucial, but may not cover all expenses after severe accidents.
