Recovering Compensation after a Florida Car Accident
It is important to understand Florida’s system for recovering compensation after an accident, as recovery laws vary on a state-by-state basis. Florida maintains a no-fault system of recovery, which means that after an accident, each driver involved will turn to their own insurance policy for compensation regardless of fault. The no-fault law only applies to bodily injury damage, not property damage to a vehicle.
There is also an exception to the no-fault rule; if a driver or passenger suffers a serious injury, they may step outside of the no-fault system and file a suit directly against the responsible party. Then, the rule of comparative fault applies, which holds that a plaintiff’s damages will be reduced in proportion to their degree of fault.
In order for an injury to be considered “serious” in Florida for the purposes of pursuing damages against another driver, the injury must result in disfigurement, fracture, limitation or impairment of a bodily organ or member, disability, or death.

“The Benenati law firm makes you believe that you are the single most important PERSON (not case) to them. Throughout the entire process, they maintained weekly contact with me, asking how I was doing or if I needed anything. I was provided with frequent updates as to how my case was progressing and was pleasantly surprised with the speed at which they were able to reach a substantial settlement. I've had the unfortunate experience of dealing with other well-known personal injury attorneys in Orlando who were unable to provide the level of expertise, care and service that Walter Benenati and his team can!”

“My experience with the Benenati Law Firm in Orlando was a great experience. They helped right away after a heartbreaking experience at another law firm. THEY MADE MORE PROGRESS IN MY CASE IN TWO MONTHS THAN 2 YEARS WITH MY FORMER LAW FIRM. I am so grateful.”
