If you or a loved one has been injured in a Florida auto accident, you may be able to recover for your losses. Losses, also called “damages,” are typically medical bills, property damages, lost wages, lost benefits, pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium, and the like. The law’s goal is awarding you damages is to make you “whole.” In other words, to put you in the position you would have been if the Florida auto accident had never occurred.

- Permanent injury within a reasonable degree of medical probability, other than scarring or disfigurement;
- Significant and permanent scarring or disfigurement; OR
- Death.
Other Relevant Florida Auto Accident Laws & Factors:
- Florida’s No-Fault law (i.e. Personal Injury Protection coverage)
