A car accident can be a traumatic experience, leaving victims with physical injuries and mounting medical bills. In Florida, understanding who is responsible for paying these expenses can be complex, leaving many accident victims feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about their financial future. While your insurance company may cover some of your costs, you may have grounds to sue the liable party if your injuries are severe. If you have been injured in a car accident, having a knowledgeable attorney in your corner is essential to help you understand your rights and legal options.

Will My Insurance Cover All of My Medical Bills After a Car Accident?
Florida is one of few no-fault insurance states, meaning accident victims must first seek monetary compensation for any accident-related injuries through their own insurance companies, regardless of who caused the accident. All Florida motorists are required to carry at least $10,000 of Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance. However, your policy may only cover some of your medical bills, even if they equal $10,000 or less. PIP only covers 80% of reasonable medical expenses and does not cover any non–economic damages such as pain and suffering.
Fortunately, you may be eligible to step outside of Florida’s no-fault system and file a lawsuit against the negligent party if your injuries meet the following criteria:
- You suffered a disfiguring injury such as severe burns or nerve damage;
- Your injuries are permanent and disabling;
- Your injuries have caused permanent scarring;
A skilled car accident attorney can evaluate your case to determine if you have grounds to file a lawsuit and help you make the best decisions possible on your next steps to recover monetary compensation.
