Understanding Car Accident Claims in Florida
Car accident victims often find themselves overwhelmed by medical bills, lost wages, and confusing insurance rules. Florida’s unique legal system adds another layer of complexity, making experienced representation essential.
No-Fault Insurance and PIP Coverage
Florida is a no-fault insurance state, meaning injured drivers must first turn to their own insurance through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage regardless of who caused the crash. PIP covers limited medical expenses and a portion of lost income but rarely covers the full extent of a serious injury.
If your injuries are severe, permanent, or exceed PIP limits, you can step outside the no-fault system and file a personal injury claim against the at-fault driver.
Negligence and Liability
To hold another driver legally responsible, we must prove negligence — that they failed to act as a reasonable driver would. Common examples include:
- Distracted or texting while driving
- Speeding or reckless driving
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
- Failing to yield or obey traffic signals
- Fatigued or drowsy driving
Florida follows a modified comparative negligence system, meaning your recovery can be reduced by your percentage of fault. Determining fault and proving liability often requires detailed evidence — crash reports, witness statements, black-box data, and expert reconstruction.
Kemp Law has the resources to build persuasive cases backed by expert testimony and real evidence.
Compensation Available After a Car Accident
Every case is different, but compensation may include:
- Medical bills, hospital stays, and rehabilitation costs
- Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Vehicle damage or total loss
- Long-term care or life-altering injury expenses
Our attorneys work with medical experts, economists, and accident specialists to calculate full, evidence-based damages, not just what insurers are willing to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Accident Claims
Do I have a case if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Florida’s modified comparative negligence rule still allows recovery as long as you were not primarily responsible for the crash. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.
What should I do if the insurance company offers me a settlement?
Do not sign or accept any offer before speaking to an attorney. Insurers often make low initial offers that don’t reflect the full value of your injuries or future medical needs.
How long do I have to file a car accident claim?
Most car accident lawsuits in Florida must be filed within two years of the crash. Delays can harm your case, so it’s best to consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
What if the at-fault driver doesn’t have insurance?
Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage can help cover your losses in accidents involving drivers without sufficient and in hit and run crashes. We can help identify all available sources of recovery.
How much does it cost to hire Kemp Law?
There’s no cost upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win your case.
