Florida Injury Law: The Basics That Affect Every Claim

• No-fault / PIP: your own $10,000 PIP coverage pays first regardless of who caused the crash — but you must seek medical care within 14 days to protect those benefits.
• Fault: Florida uses modified comparative negligence — your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, and barred entirely if you are more than 50% at fault.
• Deadline: generally two years from the date of injury for accidents on or after March 24, 2023 (reduced from four years under HB837). Waiting is rarely in your favor, because evidence and witnesses fade.
• Case value: there is no "average" — it depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical costs and lost income, who was at fault, and the available insurance coverage.
