Port St. Lucie Accident Attorneys Assist Car Accident Victims

Florida Accident Law Firm Will Help You Obtain Fair Compensation

Are you struggling to recover compensation for losses suffered in a car accident in Fort Pierce? Florida law firm Treasure Coast Legal will help ensure that you receive full compensation for your injuries.

PIP in Florida

In Florida, drivers are required to carry a minimum of $10,000 in Personal Injury Protection, or PIP insurance that will cover up to 80 percent of their injuries and 60 percent of their lost wages in the event of an accident, no matter who was at fault.

Although these regulations were put in place to reduce the number of car accident related lawsuits filed by Florida residents, PIP may not be enough to cover the total cost of medical bills and lost wages resulting from a serious accident, and will not cover property damage or pain and suffering.

Once your PIP coverage is used up, if the at-fault driver is uninsured or without sufficient insurance to pay the claim, your uninsured or underinsured coverage will cover additional damage caused. If you do not have this type of insurance coverage, you have the option of contacting an accident attorney and filing a personal injury lawsuit, under certain circumstances.

To be eligible for a personal injury lawsuit to collect compensation beyond what PIP and other insurance coverage provides, the victim of the crash must have died or sustained a serious injury such as:

• Traumatic brain injury
• Paralysis
• Serious head injury
• Permanent scarring or disfigurement
• Broken bones

If you decide to pursue legal action against the at fault driver, contact Treasure Coast Legal for sound legal advice.
