Will My Insurance Pay for My Medical Bills and Other Losses?
Once you’ve had time to think after being injured in a Florida car accident, it’s natural to wonder how your mounting medical bills are going to get paid. Florida operates under a “no-fault” law, which means that you file a claim for compensation through your own insurance company, no matter who was at fault.
You are required by law to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) insurance, which covers certain expenses incurred as the result of a car accident. Those expenses paid by your PIP coverage include:
- Reasonable and necessary medical care
- Ambulance services
- Rehabilitation
- Some non-emergency medical care
Filing a PIP claim with your insurance company can be complicated. The insurance company may try to limit its own financial loss by disputing some of your expenses or by claiming that your medical expenses were not necessary.
Allen Law Firm, P.A. can help protect you against these kinds of tactics to limit or deny your coverage. Call us today for a free consultation so we can start reviewing your case.
What Happens if My Damages Exceed My Policy Limits?
While the no-fault insurance system seems like a good idea, it does have its limitations. First, it only covers 80% of your medical expenses. Second, you may have severe injuries such as traumatic brain injuries or paralysis that could require expensive long-term medical care.
Your medical expenses could easily exceed your PIP policy limits. However, you may have options for additional compensation. If your injuries are permanent or result in severe disfigurement, you may be able to pursue the at-fault driver’s insurance company for your medical expenses that aren’t covered by PIP.
In order to do so, you’d have to prove that the other driver’s negligence caused the accident. In some cases, the at-fault driver is uninsured. This is a distinct possibility because 20% of drivers in Florida don’t carry the required insurance coverage. In that case, you could sue the at-fault driver or file a separate claim with your insurance company if you have uninsured motorist coverage.
When it comes to getting all the compensation to which you’re entitled, there are many things to consider. Let Allen Law Firm, P.A. assume the job of getting you compensated for your injuries so you can heal in peace.
