Florida Personal Injury Laws
Florida is a no-fault state requiring Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. To file a lawsuit, injuries must meet the serious injury threshold. Florida recently changed to a modified comparative system with a 51% bar.
How Florida's Fault System Affects Your Settlement
Under Florida's modified comparative fault system, you can recover damages as long as your fault does not exceed the threshold. If your fault meets or exceeds the bar, you are barred from recovery entirely. Insurance adjusters will attempt to assign you fault to reduce or eliminate your claim.
