Florida’s Pure Comparative Negligence Rule

If you are found to have any level of fault for the accident, you will own some part of liability. The state of Florida applies the comparative negligence rule to all personal injury cases. This means that if you made a small mistake that contributed to the accident, any compensation you collect will be reduced to account for your level of fault.

For example, imagine you are injured in an auto accident after another driver decided to change lanes without looking and ran you off the road. However, dashcam footage shows that you were speeding at the time of the accident. The court may rule that your excessive speed contributed to the accident and assign you with 20% fault. If the court ultimately decides to award you $100,000 in compensation, that number will be reduced by 20%, or $20,000, to account for your level of fault in causing the accident. This means that you would only be eligible to collect $80,000.

Bringing a Personal Injury Claim in Florida

If you’ve suffered a personal injury, you have to prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care that they did not fulfill. You must then prove that their failure to uphold that duty of care resulted in damage to you.

PIP Coverage in Florida

Your car insurance policy should include personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This is the coverage that will reimburse you for specific out-of-pocket expenses like medical bills and lost income, even if you were at fault for the car accident. Florida automobile policies have PIP coverage.
