Miami Car Accident Lawyer David H. Charlip Explains No-Fault Insurance in Florida

Miami car accident lawyer David H. Charlip releases a new blog post (https://charliplawgroup.com/is-florida-a-no-fault-state/) explaining the No-Fault Insurance in Florida. The lawyer mentions that Florida is among a few states that have enacted No-fault laws. These laws aim to simplify the process of getting a settlement for a car accident. No-fault laws require Florida drivers to get themselves insured so that they can turn to their own insurance policy in case of an accident.

“No-fault Insurance, also known as Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance, is designed to quickly provide compensation for victims of car accidents through their own insurance. Regardless of who was at fault in the accident, a PIP can provide compensation to the victims. The primary purpose of PIP is to decrease the number of personal injury claims filed by victims,” says the Miami car accident lawyer.

The lawyer explains that PIPs can cover up to 80% of the medical bills as long as the treatment is provided by a licensed physician, dentist, or hospital. The policy is also able to cover less serious injuries up to $2,500. Aside from those mentioned, PIPs can also cover the victim’s lost wages if they end up failing to go to work because of their injury.

Attorney David H. Charlip adds that the insurance policy is also able to cover death and burial expenses up to $5,000. The minimum PIP insurance requirement is $10,000 per person and accident. The money will be paid regardless of whether the owner was at-fault or not.

In the article, the attorney adds, “PIP benefits are available to the owner and their relatives in the same household. Any injuries that "arise out of the ownership, maintenance or use of motor vehicles" are covered by PIP. PIP coverage can be applied for almost any motor vehicle injury.”

Lastly, the personal injury attorney emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when it comes to matters such as filing an injury claim after a car accident. An experienced personal injury lawyer may be able to help the victim receive the compensation they deserve.
